WOW, is that a nightmare of yours ? ;-)

Good shot, just doesn't really say conspiracy to me.

a 7 from me, considering all aspects of the challenge/topic and picture quality.

HEY, that's my car! It was stolen three days ago!!

Just kidding, good shot though. Good use of motion blur, the white makes it the only car you can really make out, if the red didn't have its headlights on, the setting would be even more "dramatic". Really like the shot!

Give you an 8

true, true ;-)

Good one, hope people get what you're saying - I did. I just say San Francisco...

I think some more trees might have been cool, i.e. a lower framing or, even better, an actual subject "blocked" or ruined by wires.

8 as is. Good use of negative space/silhouette!

very X-files... well done, the only thing that bugs me is the patch of grass in the lower left corner of the picture. Makes the whole thing a little too real IMHO.

good stuff, like the red color, the framing and the tilted angle. I guess your title reflects a universal fear on this site - very well thought out!

9 from PS: what's with the stuffed animals? Do they signify specific DPC "VIPs"? ;-)

the picture is nice and well done, good light, cute dog, well framed. But WHERE oh where does this PICTURE say conspiracy???

4 (80%) for picture quality, 1 (20%) for fits the challenge, thanks to taking the title into consideration => a 5 from me

The Face of Mental Illness

Comment:
Huh?

I don't really see (or get) what you're going at. The face-like structure (is it metal or a very plastered and post processed human face?) doesn't say conspiracy to me and I wonder what it's got to do with mental illness. Is this an attempt of yours to deal with something that happened to you or someone close to you?

I was clinically depressed this summer and spent 10 weeks, drugged and suicidal, in a mental institution. So, if you were "kidding" or just plain playing around (with words), please don't, because you'd obviously not know what you're talking about if you haven't been there yourself.

If you have been there, all the best to you!

Great shot! Love the DOF, the greenish color cast, the lighting, the glasses, the angles of the guys' looks/faces and the red color of the woman's top. Really cool! one of the best I've seen so far, if not the best.

a bit too much blur (in post processing?), especially on the arm, not so sure about the face - the hair looks great, natural texture. Too much of a "mall studio portrait" for my taste. The background works very well, but the kid's too soft - he's a great looking boy! no need to "polish" him this way.

Otherwise: good lighting, nice expression and pose. The T-shirt's color seems a little overwhelming. Different color (not solid, brighter?) or different crop (same width, cut off the bottom and make it square?) might have helped.

As is, a 6. Could have been a 7, at least .

amazing, what a great looking face does to a well setup portrait! She's stunningly beautiful and so is your portrait. From what I've seen so far, this should make at least the top 20.

I give you a 9 - my first. No 10 yet.
