This doesn't say anything to me. Don't know why, because I usually find your shots fascinating. I've looked at it for quite a while and still, without your comments above, can't see the point of this.

Atropos

Comment by JuliBoc:
Very impressive for a speed challenge. I think the focus hurt your score. I know the string is the indicator of time, so maybe Atropos should have been more out of focus. Either that or the whole shot in sharp focus. Also you were hurt by ignorance -- and I suspect many voters didn't bother to find out who Atropos is.

I like everything about this image except the focus, especially the lighting and dark shadow, the diagonal composition, and the rough wall. Your model did a good job with the menacing expression.

Hey Don, I like the simpleness of it and it did give me a laugh.

Originally posted by glad2badad: 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).

Ok. ... Greek mythology isn't on my radar. Glad I came back to revisit this image. I was hoping for some description of what it meant, and voila, thanks to some thoughtful commenters I now know what Atropos has to do with time. :D

Yep...oobie in here somewhere. :)
