For Future World Changers

Another super design. This one is a bit more complicated in terms of text than some of my other top contenders, but the clean white on black message works. And I'm smitten as soon as I look at the young man - the loosened collar and askew tie are great.

There's a lot more going on in the picture here than in other of my top scores, but the fact that the text is limited to a single, easy-to-read word that packs a wallop in terms of its emotional baggage makes it easy to take in quickly, and that was important for me. 9

Beautiful colors - bold and dramatic. The strength of the palette is perfect for the product. The sun is like an emphatic period to the statement "rebel 500". 9

Simple, attractive and easy to take in at a glance. The clean look suggests something cool, refreshing, a little tangy . . . perfect. 9

I don't get it. Sorry. I don't know which "side: the billboard is on. I guess I'm just not sophisticated enough. For me, this is very eye-catching (good) but I don't know who or what the billboard sponsor supports. 5

Point of Intersection

Originally posted by markwiley: Fabulous image and congratulations on the PB. I'm curious how you got this perspective.

No secret on the perspective - nor, indeed, any fancy equipment. I have a small (well, compared to my normal camera gear) Panasonix Lumix that I like to carry when I go out for neighborhood walks because it's quite lightweight. It also has the advantage of having a versatile range - 20-1200 AND, critical for the ball drop and subsequent bounces in this situation, a nice burst. It was early afternoon, sun and shadows were strong. I positioned myself to have my own shadow behind me, leaned over, pointed the camera down at the ground, and shot. Lots of fodder to play with later.

This got an 8 from me and I didn't give many in that range. I really like it - could sit and study shots like this a long time. Maybe more contrast would have brought the wonderful patterns out even more. Congrats on the HM.

Terrific perspective and no question about the intersecting lines of these highways. I hate driving on sections like this myself, especially if they are unfamiliar . . . give me long and straight any day :) Excellent entry - congrats on the Yellow.
