A Deadly Match

Wow, I cannot believe that people would vote this a 1 or a 2! I don't believe that any picture except one that does not meet challenge criteria deserves a 1 or a 2! Unless it is completely out of focus, or a suspected "cheat" that anyone deserves that low. And, on top of that the ones who vote 3's, PLEASE leave a comment as to WHY you are voting that low! It takes a lot of time and effort and thought to try to set up a shot. Unless it's a "snapshot" look to it, or totally out of focus, why does something obviously "set up" deserve a 3????

Ok, vented......got that out of my system! *smile*

Thanks for all who took the time to vote.

I'll match your determination with some of my own

lovely shot of the kids.....but, without the title, I'd not have seen the "match" part of this shot

I should have photographed my husband and titled it "hard hat, hard head" *evil grin* I can't quite put my finger on what it is...but, did you play a lot with the contrast??? It kinda flattens his forehead somehow???? Not sure what it is about his shot. Maybe, it's just my eyes! LOL

Are you like me and working sometimes without a tripod? *sigh* I can see where you're going though with the soft focus idea. It compensates a bit for the blur to the shot. I've just bought a tripod (cheap one) and it helps tremendously with the blurring on the long exposures due to poor lighting. I LOVE the idea of this shot though!

lovely clarity in this shot. Nicely set up. The only thing I can say is that the window reflection on the tabletop is a bit distracting. But, really nice shot!

no... not a match... please...!
