thanks angela,
thats the only down side to this site sometimes im sure im not the 1st or the last person to have a deeper story behind their shot, but we arent able to let people know that during voting... so it sounds like you agree with me though in the sence that it was too personal to me and people weren't getting it the way i intended. |

I think the idea is to have the best photo you can do so that others look forward to the story afterwards. I did that with a Scalvert entry once. I think it was the Wizard of Oz dead end entry. I was more green then and wanted to know how he pulled it off so I went and read it. Same with the great pumpkin challenge winner. But a doll in a rocker I am not sure I would go and read. Even on my own, I only post the "how toos" or the "stories behind" when I feel someone may be interested. Otherwise I only post the PP stats.
nighttrain, I will comment on your photo.
1. With all the "live" depictions of mother that could have been done, I just thought the doll, although cute, was not out of the box enough for me.
2. Second thing is the background. It is kind of blahh, and really doesn't do anything for the subject matter. One little thing may have changed that. Maybe another dolls (the mom's) hand reaching towards the baby.
3. Which brings me to critique number 3. Only the baby is shown and no mother.
4. And finally the color scheme of the bedding and bed just is not appealing to me, and overall, technically it was just a "sound" picture and nothing more to me.
It just lacked any kind of "mother" emotions to me.

I saw your post twice. Post the photo and if you like, I will give it critique. OH WAIT, is that the one with the woman in bed wearing some sort of mask?

Well, not to go looking for it to see it again, but I think I just didn't really like it. Sorry.
When one thinks of a mother, I really don't think they want the mental visual of one that is twisted by title. To add to that visual with an artistic impression photo can make it even more disturbing of a visual. LOL....I also don't think I liked the colors, background or the general composition. I most likely gave it a 4, but if I find it later (have to run to the store), I will check and see what I gave it. However, I remember it, so it must have been really twisted! LOL...

Got a 5 from me. I went back to it a few times. Eventually I thought the whole setup just looked a bit rushed.
There were also a few distracting elements. For example, the white makeup around her neck. The nipple or half a nipple; I got the impression you did that just to shock the audience. The rose on the pillow, not sure why you even needed to include that. And the messed up hair and wrinkled pillow. All these detracted from the shot as I kept finding myself distracted by them.
On the positive side. Good focus and lighting. Composition looks fine (apart from the distractions I mentioned)
All in all I got the overall feeling you were just trying *too* hard to be 'out of the box' with this. The overall mood of the shot (nice lighting and vivid colours) didn't fit with the emotion I suspect you were trying to convey.
EDIT: Although nineteen 1's is a bit much!

Ahhh yes. I did give it a 4. Now that I see it, I really dislike it a lot more though. LOL....I FOR ONCE, agree with most of what jhonan said in critique.
