"Perspective"
by Yo_Spiff

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
The shoehorn is chrome and picked up a lot of yellow reflections. I was trying to partially desaturate to kill some of the yellow cast on it and decided I liked the selective desat look for this. I've been having issues when photographing items on colored posterboard of the object picking up a reflected color cast. I think that is part of what hurt my scores in "Bicycles II" and "Portrait of a camera" If anyone has a suggestion, I'm needing to know what I am doing wrong with lighting that causes this.

Nice angles, lines, and shadows. Desaturation, ehh, Did the shoehorn have much color to start with or did it pick up the yellow as a reflection.

I think you have done this one really well, and I like the strong impact of the perspective that you have achieved here.....
Love the strong yellow background, as it makes the shoehorn really 'POP'.....

Strong entry! I love the humor. I wish I voted on this. I would have pushed you over the 4.9 mark! I wonder if it would have scored better without the clouds and a bit more symmetry in the position of the hand hand. Thanks for the laugh. Ben

I'm still laughing my butt off! Fun and creative shot, and is that Mothra rising from the horizon?

Strangely, your shoehorn is not shoehorned into this challenge. It is really quite high contrast. Now if only arm wasn't so hairy...

The voters OBVIOUSLY did not understand the true meaning and story you've captured with this photograph. Stupid voters! And I certainly would have commented on it had I looked at it before today! :-)

(I try not to even look at the other entries until after voting, for whatever dumb reason! lol)
