A Lilliputan Lighthouse

Comment by MrsFuzzButt:
Looks like a forced perspective shot, which is not what I took this challenge to be. Lighthouse is too bright, girl's face is out of focus... 5

I like the angle of the photo and the mood portrayed in the person's posture and face. I probably would have cropped out the wires (I think that's what they are) at the bottom right.

Nice image. Interesting, thoughtful looking pose. Slightly soft, especially noticable on the model's face, it just feels a little blurry.

yes...this was originally intended for "threes" but I missed the submission time by 10 stinking minutes *argh*

anyways, when I read the sports (which I originally wasn't interested in submitting for) I realized it applied. As nothing said it had to be an ESPN sport. And although mostly gone in today's era there are several re-enactment groups that do in fact do this sport.

As for it being a team sport. Perhaps one should check out the SCA...particularly Pennsic which pits the rival kingdoms of the East with the kingdoms of the Middle.

(it seems once again my photo gets knocked and decried NOT on topic when it very much is...*sigh*...ignorance is the great killer of creativity)

IF YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A TEAM SPORT...THAN HERE!!!!

hmmm - the 'team' concept isn't entirely clear - three musketeers, perhaps? a little too much shine on the knives, and not enough light on the leather parts, imo...

Very nice composition, but a little tightly cropped. I think the cropping makes the center focus a little less interesting. The connection to the challenge is weak for me.

Where was this in Centered Composition? I like the composition, and scored this relatively highly. A little improvement on your lighting to bring out the metal qualities in the blades shown, and this would be my top pick for its originality.

Without the title, this would have nothing to do with team sports. I think the title should be supplemental to the picture, not being the only thing that ties it to the challenge.
