Falling

Hey Robin,

Unfortunalty I didn’t vote on the Dreams and Nightmares challenge, however I do really like this shot.
The idea of a falling dream/nightmare works well as I guess it relates to a lot of people, I know it does me. That along with the zoom effect, an effect I have seen used a few times on DPC before and it really hasn’t worked for me. In the past I don’t think the feeling of motion generally suits the pictures I have seen. However in this case the effect creates the main impact of the image. A kind of interaction between the photograph and the viewer, almost like a magic eye.

As far as the actual scene its self is concerned it feels as if it is cropped a little too much, I think I would have preferred a wider angle to show more of the scene. Although I guess that would have made it harder to get the required angle to give the impression of falling, without taking the photograph from a higher position. Although I guess the best tribute to this photo is the number of people who actually experienced the falling sensation :-)

I don’t know if it was done for a reason but personally, I would like to have the horizontal and vertical borders the same width. But overall very well done.

Tom.

Good macro, and nice use of sepia tone. However the focus seems ever so slightly soft.

Slightly overexposed on the forehead and right cheek, apart form that a beautiful portrait, excellent use of depth of field. Good Luck.

Good product shot although the photo doesn’t seem to be balanced, as there is a lot of space on the left compared to the right.

I think this shot may have been improved had the whole fruit been in shot.

The subject is slightly too central for my taste, but has good contrast and texture. 8

Good use of colour sets this shot apart from other shots of a similar subject. My only slight criticism would be the arm for the read head is overexposed, however this doesn’t seem to detract too much from the overall impact of the shot. Well done.
