GREAT amigo. You are indeed gettin on the next level of your photography. After being an A-class, what's next?

The distortion is very clever. It adds a lot of story and message. Toning is bang on. I salute you...you're the winner.

Originally posted by scalvert: Two days ago, my wife and I were discussing the ribbon standings, and I pointed out that I might have an advantage because none of the current challenges were suited to portraiture. So not only did you prove me completely wrong, you did it with a well-deserved blue and a 7+ score. ROFL! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go torture some kittens or something. ;-)

Shannon, I was just lucky. I don't have your creativity and imagination. Mine is just a copy from a box cover. But yours are always original. And you have the record of not leaving the dpchallenge's homepage for how many weeks now? Anyway...I think we inspire each other.

YOU are on a roll!. CONGRATULATIONS!

I like this colored version more. The biggest asset of this picture is the composition. Very graphic. You have a good technique in composing your shots.

LOL....for those who commented about a woman standing somewhere, you're right. I took a lot of shots along with this shot and this is one of them.



Anyway...Sally helped me set up this shot.During lunchbreak in school, I requested a friend to sharpen the pencils, I laid them down on the floor (with a black velvet cloth as a base), then asked Warren (and later on Sally) to arrange them in the same manner as shown in the box of the Prismacolors pencil. Not an original idea. But I really went down on the floor to take the shot. Unlike the box picture which was taken from the top, I experimented on the DOF and the angle. An dthe rest is history.

Many thanks for the votes.

Wow...surprise. I never thought this will be in the top 10. I owe it all to Maya, her mom, and Sally for setting this up for me.

She's in my top ten circle. The first time I had her, I won a yellow. Here's the pic.



Thanks Maya.

AMAZING. Just discovered your portfolio....your works breathe passion. you have a unique style. I wish I can post-process pictures like you.

However, you have also good compositional skills. But I must say tha you are a genius in post-processing. I am a fan.

This work encapsulates the above observation. I am looking forward to more.
