You put my WHAT in the spin dryer???by
jonfrommkComment by Artifacts: Positives:
Wonderful perspective and the sharpness of your model looking into the dryer is good. It is the central subject of the composition. It is a nice touch and makes this image interesting. Curious expression and placement of the eye is perfect. Distribution of the laundry is good.
Technicals:
Overall technicals OK. Sharpness is fine, there are no digital artifacts which are normally the biggest defects in DPC images. There are some overexposed highlights your model's head and arm and an object on the far left side that is distracting because it is unidentifiable.
The Challenge:
Ironically, though you had many concerns about meeting the challenge you were probably still nixed for it. That is because there was no 'actual' motion and it is obvious in the composition.
Perhaps the fact that the model and not spinning is the central subject hurt it in voting as well.
Here is a funny... I tried to be metaphorical in my spinning image and got trashed for it. LOL!!! You are ALWAYS better to take as literal an interpretation of a challenge topic as you can. Yours, and mine, were NOT literal enough.
Suggestions:
The overexposed areas are a problem. For a basic chalenge the only way that can be corrected would to somehow add additional light inside the dryer to balance lighting and decrease exposure.
As done this image would never get a thumbs up from the dnmc crowd. The only way to do that is to capture actual rotation of the dryer drum.
