Not emotive? Just look at those poor screws trying to make something of themselves and getting lost in the crowd. Look at them, fumbling around in their orbit of rust when the Universe surrounding them is so colorful. Slowly, my eye makes out what is "top" and what is "side"... I put together a cylinder from this fragment. It is productive, enjoyable work, the kind that makes for a rich artist-audience experience. Not emotive... pshaw. And yes, the colors are very pretty. Imagine this in the Pastels challenge!

Interesting shot, nice textures. Does not realy invoke the nature of the challenge without the caption though.

Comment by szalona:
too crowded in your composition if you want to just make an opposition between pretty and ugly, stick to simple.l alll the plants, too many chairs, objects in the background, its all clumping your photo taking the viewer away from what you wish to depict, which in turn, makes this photo uninteresting.
5 for meeting the challenge.

Nicely done, I especially like the real versus picture subjects it gives the photo even more interest.

Comment by glad2badad:
Not sure I'm getting the point here. Why the background print? Is the girl in the print pretty and the person (guy/girl?) at the table is ugly? Or, is it the hat/shirt combo you're refering to? Well, at least you're getting the viewers to stop and ponder it some. :D As for the image itself, I think a polarizer would have helped with the glare on the chair and table - overall the image feels slightly overexposed in the highlights.

Best of luck to you in the challenge.

This frighteningly reminds me of the subject in my shot for Motion Blur2.
Funny!

I expected this to do much better. It was one of my favourites.
