ROFL. Looks like she's leaving. That is too funny. The pink socks really make it! So imaginative. I like that you went to all the trouble to set it up.

SOMEbody's due for his 4000th comment... ;-)

This was one of the few that actually looked like a movie poster! I'm actually surprised at the dearth of really low votes on this one... looks like people actually DID vote as if the shot was legal. My favorite aspect of this image is the perfect wisp of smoke- very well done, and sepia portrait is respectable in its own right. I have two criticisms though...

One is the overall complexity. There's just a lot to take in here, and the right edge in particular seems cluttered. The second "problem" IMO is the juxtaposition of color and elements. The muted tones, sepia portrait and masted ship seem to suggest an older time period- Hemingway, perhaps. Then you've got a character on the right with a modern handgun and what looks like a denim baseball cap. It just doesn't fit in with the rest of the image.

Still, you had a respectable finish here, and the movie poster theme was well-communicated. Nice job!

Captured his essence well I think.

This is an amazing photo imo..so real looking it seems she is peeking through my computer screen. I really like the crop you used as it makes my eyes focus only on her face.... and her face was a gift from the Universe. One day when/if I try my hand at portraits I will strive to take photos that are as real looking as this one is.

Man! As soon as I saw this one, I thought it would be the ribbon winner because this one did the best job in the whole challenge of creating a real movie poster! This is just incredible! I found myself in the challenge and even now looking at it wondering how you accomplished all that! GREAT job!!!
