Atropos

Comment by Blackbox:
For those who didn't understand the photo and title:

'In Greek mythology, Atropos ("without turn", "she who cannot be turned away") was the third of the Moerae. She was the oldest of the Three Fates, and was known as the "inflexible" or "inevitable." It was Atropos who chose the mechanism of death and ended the life of each mortal by cutting their thread with her "abhorred shears." She worked along with Clotho, who spun the thread, and Lachesis, who measured the length. Her origin, along with the other two fates, is uncertain. Although some called them the daughters of the night. It is clear, however, that at a certain period they ceased to be concerned with death and became instead those power which decided what must happen to individuals. Although ZEUS was the chief Greek god, he was still subject to the decisions of the Fates, and thus the executor of destiny rather than its source.'

I didn't understand so I looked it up. What a great photo I now see...perfect for the challenge...10.

Wonderful colors! I love the motion blur on the trees. I don't generally give advice to improve (since I suck, lol) but I think losing a bit more of the sky would improve it, maybe at the line where it turns to the pinkish shade.

There is something about this that I really like but I just can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the color and angle of the stubble. The thumbnail really pulls you into this shot.

Interesting photo. Not getting the connection to Time. She looks like a psycho nun or something. :) I understand the creative use of DOF but I would like more of her face in focus (at least down thru the eyes).

Very well composed, and not overly staged (or over sharpened, over saturated, etc. like so many others)

Chess Table, White to Move

*Critique Club*

"Chess Table, White to Move" is a very cool entry into the Furniture challenge. I have no idea how to play chess so I am not sure where white would be headed. I think you have an awesome concept here. I think it was probably more out of the box then most voters like, which probably results in the not so hot score. But I say make the photo that makes you happy, and I would be proud of this one.

Technically the shot looks good, our lighting is well balanced and our focus is nice and crisp. I think the angle has to grab the viewers eye because it is just not normal. I think it was cool that our perspective is altered since the subject is kind of off the wall to start with. The composition looks good, I would be curious to see the shot with the sky cropped out in comparison to left in. The image might look to confusing if you cropped out the sky.

Overall great job thinking outside the box and defiantly keep it up, this is one of the more creative ones in the challenge.
