You know we should wait for the challenge to end, but I couldn't resist. Getting my portrait ready for winning the brown for motion and blur.

Well if you didn't enter or unsubmitted I don't see a problem.

If there were a February Free Study challenge, I would have submitted one of these, the problem is that all were made in February, so I put them in my Portfolio and submitted something different I have made in March.

These are the two that I had thought about submitting, but figured nobody would like them, so I shot something else and pulled both (which does look to have been a great idea, either).

I would be interested in knowing what people would have voted or commented and which of the two they like better.

Thanks

I didn't chicken out, I just forgot to take my photo home from work last night so I couldn't enter it. I wish I had done it from work yesterday :(

Cbeller, I like the second one. Good contrast, even if is a little on the dark side - this adds to the emotive feel of the shot I think.

Of the 2 I like the second better, but still would have somehow tried to get some light on the front/face. I think a direct flash would be way too much.. perhaps a soft-box.. just a small amount of very soft light to bring out the face just a tad.

Not your best work Gary. I would have given it a 5 or 6. I usually rate your shots much higher. I think B and W would have worked better.

I was on the fence with 2 entries.

This is the one I did not submit:

My actual entry is bombing.

Oh well, I actually like my entry better, but this might have done better.

It was a good learning experience for me and this thread describes how it was done from the original...

Reminds me of the 3D graphics you see in those first person shooter computer games. Is that the effect you were going for Steve?

I'm a failure... Guess it is a good thing I didn't enter the challenge.

My intention with that image was to capture the feeling of dread and foreboding that you get from thinking about a prison. But if it works for a computer game then at least that is something. :)

It has a surreal feel about it is what I meant. No doubt it is heavily processed. The sky and the walls have so much contrast compared to the original, which adds to the "other worldly" effect. I like it but to me it borders on digital art. I think some people would have scored you really low for that reason. That's not to say I would. :)
