The Fool

The Fool
by Yo_Spiff

Comment:
First of all, the cleavage issue. The female fool is not a dignified woman; do your research!
Second, a fool would NEVER wear purple.
Third, the lack of even lighting makes her look like a man.

Back to the cleavage issue, she's not 19. If you're 25 or older, it's not called cleavage; it's just a low-cut shirt.

Oh and fourth, I can't think of a way to possibly improve this image. It's amazing and it captures the essence that it was meant to capture as well as it could be captured. Beautiful image and the photographer in me wants to meet the model because we all could use a model that's not only beautiful, but has the guts to pose in any pose we ask for any shoot we ask. Could anyone else have executed this particular shoot this well? Doubtful. Aside from photographic and historical accuracy, this model is obviously quite an amazing person as well. I'm glad to have the opportunity to observe her at work; it's changed my perception of the concept of a model completely. Excellent work, yo_spiff and my hat is off to the model.

Death

HOLY HELL DEATH IS A GIRL????
How did you even get that spot? Ridiculous!!!

A stellar image. I would have lit the candle and shot with ambient light + slight fill flash, but heinsight is 20/20. This image makes me feel like all the happiness is gone from the world. Love it. Amazing. Awesome.

Wheel of Fortune
by DrAchoo

Comment:
This better show up in learn->how\'d they do that. It\'s rare for a photograph to just seem completely separate from the laws of light, but you\\\\\\\'ve done it.

Now, one problem: DNMC. I\'m sure you did your research before you went to all this work. You don\'t look like a girl. WoF card must have a girl. Also, I don\'t see TARO or ROTA. Nor do I see all four elements or the fates or really anything related to the wheel of fortune tarot card.

That\'s unfortunate because this is a spectacular image.

So let us know just how exactly it is that this image has ANYTHING to do with the WoF TC.

The Hermit2nd Place
by Sirashley

Comment:
Thoroughly average worldly old man picture.

However, unlike a gypsy or any other 3rd world oddity, this is just a regular guy in a costume. You found a regular guy - someone just like you or me - and made him look like a star. You took Joe and made him in to King Henry.

How often do you get to do that?

The Tower

The Tower1st Place
by sjhuls

Comment:
If my seer were to draw the tower, I would feel exactly how this image makes me feel. Visually appealing? Sure. But anyone can do that. You've managed to capture an image that crosses over from the visual to the kinesthetic. If I printed tarot decks for a living, I'd ask if I could put this on the back of the tower card. Congratulations - it's perfect.

Coffee with milk

Coffee with milk
by kannewurf

Comment:
Tempting to play the cliche card. There's some odd specular highlights in a few random places as well. Then again, I'm | | this close to making a cup of coffee after looking at it. Well, 22nd or not, this is the first image that's given me a coffee craving at midnight in quite some time. Awesome.

Morning Ritual

Comment:
I want to know what he's looking at. I'm left completely unsatisfied from this image; what is he looking at? Why is he there? He is NOT a typical sbux customer. Looks like he's headed to the moon after he finishes checking his GMail. I can't even be bothered by the imperfections in this image - the deal on the bottom left, the fact that everything in the image (excepting the subject) is arranged just perfectly, etc - because the subject is that fascinating. Amazing capture - twice in a lifetime.

How did you get that spoon to melt into the plate like that?

midday oil

Comment:
I lived the first half of my life in fast-paced, high-strung downtown Chicago and the remainder in slowed down, happy-go-lucky Kansas City. When I saw this image that old Chicago atmosphere came over me with such force that my heartbeat quickened. Obviously this isn't Chi Town but my first reaction to this image? GET THE HELL UP ON OUT THE WAY SO I CAN GET THE TRAIN!!! SOME OF US GOT PLACES TO BE!!! Such emotion in one image. Love it.

"A validation request? You must be kidding"

You must underestimate your skills - evidently someone thought this shot was unbelievably good! If I were going to question anything about this image it would be the vibrance +10. To create an image with such rich, saturated colors with just a +10 to vibrance is fantastic. These are the colors that inspire the feelings that make us feel warm, rich and full. These are the colors that we spend a lifetime learning how to create with a camera.

If I were going to critique anything about this image, it would not be the editing. It's exceptionally obvious to me that no advanced editing was done because the specular highlights (or hot spots to be more accurate) detract significantly from the overall image quality; the eye is attracted to bright colors and unfortunately, even though the image is spectacularly vivid, the white hot spots are more eye-catching as viewed from a computer screen. All of the colors are very enjoyable except the white. With no soft light, no advanced editing, and no ingenuity to create either of the above, this image is absolutely as good as it could be. Love it.
