It looks like they are being held up. Maybe they jumped to start out, but the photo doesn't show that.

I think this is exposed very well...good use of the flash to burn in the subject and not have a blurry mess. I like the blue outlines...almost looks like his spirit or aura. Very interesting shot. The mike stand coming from the bottom left is just a tad distracting...but you might not have been able to help that due to where you were sitting or something else. I like the expression that you got from him. Overall I like the image and way to make it work for the challenge.

you know, it's one of those days...

"You know, it's one of those days..." does meet the criteria of the challenge... we have heels and we have peanut butter. Hopefully your not too bummed about the score or placement, a lot of us (me included) have been there. I personally think I have gotten better since then, but I think there is a learning curve. Sorry for rambling, on to the photo.

The subject itself is an interesting idea. Maybe you had some trouble shrinking the photo down to meet the qualifications. Possibly this is were it picked up all the noise that is coming across in the shot. Then again maybe that is the look you wanted. I am not sure if it is the lighting that brings out a hot spot on the feel or the noise, but it does take away from the score for me. It was a nice try with such a crazy subject. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next time!

over all its a nice capture however hving the mic stand out of focus in the F.ground is a major distraction and doesn't act as a leading line (which is what i think it is ment to be. i feel the image as a whole would be alot stronger if it were eliminiated from the framing.

i'm feeling it. I wish you got some without the mic stand. a big floating head on a black background with the light trails and that expression would make for some good black light poster material
