Binoculars... with big B
by russi

A very difficult photograph to take correctly. I think the idea is great, but the main problem with this is that the binoculars themselves are too dark. All the detail of this pair of B's (esp. because they are obviously used a lot) has been lost, which I think is why you didn't do better than you did (although 5.5 isn't a bad score at all)

The only decent advice I can give you is to make sure that your image is lit properly, and try to do your best to bring out all the characteristics of your subject.

A good idea that faltered slightly on the technical side.

Keep it up!

A little too dark, but otherwise a stunning image. Cool shadow as well.

A very unflattering picture - I really don't think I like this much. Well done for getting the hyperfocal trick right, though.

Nice soft-effect you have done here. Cool shot also - one of the few nudes in the challenge that work despite having little or no nudity in them.

I take it you have seen Teger's photographs? Cool idea, but I don't know why the rock and animal seem out of focus. shooting at f/8 or f/11 should have put everything in focus. Good work though.

A very distinctive model who would have done great in the nude challenge. If she was nude in any way, of course.

Cool usage of an overhead projector (or did you cheat and put it in afterwards?). Good work!

I don't know what kind of filters or effects you have put on this (although it looks like the plastic wrap effect), but I really strongly dislike it. It looks anything but realistic, and the effect didn't work too well, I am afraid. Try again!

I understand that parents love their kids and all that, but this is not exactly a nude, is it?

The light is not particularly inspiring, and I think this image has more novelty-value than anything else. Did you try it in black and white?
