Comment by RyanW:
now i have that song "Oh Yeah" in my head

I'm guessing this is a reference to the line "off with her head"
technically well done, but lacking impact

Comment by mariuca:
It was clever of you not to title your picture "Cabbage & Kings".
A very crisp image, dew and all. Might have benefitted form a portrait format to allude to a book cover.

Comment by RKT:
4...I have no idea what this is inspired by. The light and texture on the cabbage is nice, and I wish the cards weren't there. They're not in or out of focus enough to not be annoying. It's just a weird little still life, but not weird enough to be interesting.

Comment by Cory:
Cabbages and Kings huh?...

Technically that's not a novel, it's a collection of short stories.

..

Images like this upset me somewhat - it's a good image, very nicely done. But... It's not right, it doesn't meet the challenge. Not only is it not a novel, but... Dunno.. Does the image really capture the work? Or is it just a clever visual pun?

So what am I left to do? Reward the great image? Or punish the failure to follow instructions?

I suppose I'll do both, and just wish that you had chosen a novel instead of a collection of short stories.

Comment by Bear_Music:
Kings, check. Cabbage, check. Composition, workmanlike. Technicals, adequate: the lighting is decent if uninspired, the choice of shallow DOF is interesting.

Does it fit the book (which is a collection of short stories, not a novel)? Not really, except for the obvious one-on-one match with the title. But see, the thing of it is that the TITLE has nothing to do with the book either; it's a quote from Lewis Carroll ("The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things: / Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings...") that highlights the miscellaneous nature of the book itself.

Heck, what am I saying? It's clean, if unimaginative, but it doesn't especially float my boat. I'll give it a 5.

i don't get it,i just don't. and because of that i tend to ignore the well it set up, the crisp focus and so on. 6

Comment by tvsometime:
Why choose a short story writer for a "Classic Novel" topic? Visually I love the wet cabbage. Hold for topics such as "colitis cures", or "vegan card party" challenges. 5 for the cabbage.
