Wow - what a creative mind, and a terrific eye for a compositional layout. This is fun to look at, and should be in every bakery in Switzerland. Wait - are there trees in Switzerland? I know I at least heard some yodeling...

Rain

Blurry, kinda messy, from the aspect that you have no control of how the raindrops are gonna refract the light. Elements of chaos are inherent, but I'm not overtly engaged or interested in looking at raindrops, or how the light frags through them. I actually like the bit of focus on the dripping rain, but I think some will be like - ah hah!!! It's focused!!! You know the types... A good picture.

Alien Liberator, in a Full-Tilt Chase...

Thanks for the helpful comments, all! I was simply trying to make this look like it could be an eskew chase scene from a Toy Story movie, and I think I pulled it off. I wanted to do something vibrant and fun, and not involving simple camera tilt snapshots. I'm a graphics artist, and use lines to compose my sketches and paintings, and figured I'd take a shot at seeing how well it could be applied to photography. So this looks exactly as it would if I'd have painted it - so to wit, if you look at the composition as a whole, there's a diminishing "triangle" with it's base starting with Buzz, and diminishing toward the eyes. Kind of like a skyscraper shot from below. I know it's a stretch for many DPC members, but this is actually a very carefully arranged, composed shot. And the overall lighting came out perfectly. The background needed to be dark to exhibit that "bad guy from the shadows" aspect.

My main issue here is I wanted a bit of light on Robo-Sapien's chest, but I was out of LED'S! To that end - it is a bit dark in that spot.

Very cool shot!!! I think it's sharpness is perfect, btw.

Dude - that's got some serious dimension. Way to think outside the box, instead of under it like the lowballers...

Hippies!!! There's alot of anti-gun sentimentality around here, if you haven't noticed. And people aren't being objective.

"I'm not sure why this shot finished so low! I don't see a major focus issue and the exposure fits the scene. I blame it on people not seeing 2 yet. Happy shooting!"

Answer as to why this scored low: Hippies. I mean, c'mon - eight 1's??? I've seen alot of ant-gun material around here.

What a beautiful way to capture an otherwise average subject! Colors and technicals are goog, but I would have liked to see the left cripped more. Nice photo! I give a 6.

Fits the theme well, average subjects though. Great colors, but if all the flowers had been purple, this would have popped more. Focal is good, but overall an average shot. A 5.
