A very interesting shot. Too bad it couldn't have had a little more light in the globe. Do you think if his face were lighted that would have transferred to the globe?

Comment by eloise:
Great subject, great composition, great clouds behind (and the one person wandering up the path makes it particularly postcardy). However, the color balance in general is weird. The castle isn't meant to be that kind of dark bluish purple, is it? I would assume a brighter sort of brownish shade was intended. This was *almost* a 10 for me, but the colors make it look like it was shot with 200-speed Fuji film and not cleaned up afterwards, moving the total feel from 'postcard' back to 'snapshot.'

Hi Owen,

I particularly enjoyed this shot because I felt it was a good execution of a good idea. The DOF is good on the Celica but I would have liked to see a little more on both the porches. On the top porsche that front headlight out focus is distracting too me and on the bottom it's the out of focus taillight that bothers me.

As for the composition - I like the colours you put together, red, yellow, and blue and I like the drop shadowing on the pictures and the text. It makes this pleasing to look at.

Overall a good job in my opinion! Good luck in the next challenge!
-Matt

Glass is clean and sharp, fits theme. (The white thing in the glass ball is a tad distracting.... I suppose we need some contrast though). Good job!

Love the eerie repetition of him in the background! Nice shot!

The cream coloured border is too thick and heavy for the purpose. A hairline would compliment this otherwise exciting capture...
