I'd really appreciate some feedback. My entry is nothing like those and it's tanking :D.. would one of those have been well received?
Thanks |
I definately like the outcome of this shot too. The shadows really help add another interesting facet to the catch the eye.

My favorite was dof1.jpg. I like the center focal point. |

It is a little hard to say exactly what I'm looking at?
Is it a volume adjustment or ?

Yea, it was a slider on one of the mixing consoles in my studio. I figured most wouldn't get it so I put it away. |
OOO!OOOO! I guessed what it is, well, in my head. Plus I'm a record engineer so I guess I don't count :-( |

Gary, great concept! You didn't have an f/1.4 to stick on there to try and increase the DOF "from the camera"?
BTW, much to my dismay, my entry is totally getting hammered, even though (IMHO, of course) it is a solid pic and is an example of shallow DOF that people see all the time... |

yeah the second one was the one my 'team of pre-submitting critiques' liked best. As usual though I chose to ignore them and submit something else..

DOF2 is my fave, the blue twisty things... very abstract but cool. I really like the little splashs of red in the sea of blue. I think DOF1 would've done better though. :) |

This was my also-ran - I couldn't get the clarity of focus I wanted on the needle. It was to have been titled "Needle In The Pin Stack". Ahem.

Eddy, I see my score dwindling rapidly also. I'm wondering what the magic image is. Beware the trolls. hahahahaha |

Wow, if that's what ended up on the floor, I can't wait to see what you entered! I really like that one. :) |

Well, this is indeed a great shot, AND a good example of narrow depth of field. Catherine's needle is also very nice. |

This is great, love the interest caused by the blured bg, quite pretty indeed.

I like it as an example of depth of field, negative space and shapes.
The exposure is really pretty nasty though - its under exposed and has a pretty yellowy 'white balance' cast.

OK, 1. If you are a recording engineer and 2. if you recognized it, you have scored high in my book already. So yes, you count with bonus points. hahaha |

| Isn't it better if this kind of "game" waits until after voting is over? |

I agree with jonpink. I see this as a delicate dance, balancing and swaying in the wind. A dance of the antelope, running from their aggressors, seeking the direction of others to fend off the certain danger that lurks beneath the subtle passiveness of perception.
OK, I̢۪ll stop.
