just the slightest tilt of the head to keep the noses from bumping is all that's required.

I *did* give it a 6, and I *did* say I didn't think it met the challenge "particularly well", not that I thought it didn't meet the challenge at all. I'm a bit more literal than you, Don, but I'm not hopeless by any means...

People took "out-of-the-box" and "out-of-whack" literally? only at DPC!!

I was unsure if it was a statue, but I gave the benefit of the doubt and a 7. I'm smacking my forehead over the fact that some people thought it didn't meet the challenge... She is "holding up" a gravestone that is crooked. The whole point of the shot is about the crookedness of that gravestone.

It boggles my mind how unsubtle the voters are. Even Bear Music???

Love this concept.

yes I knew it really was the crooked aspect that hurt it most. I honestly don't like crooked(tilted) photographs for the most part, so I didn't want to go that route. There are always a few that I like tilted but my OCD really kicks in and it sort of drives me crazy.

I gave it a 7 and spotted it second glance. In (say) graveyeards it would have placed much higher I'm sure.

I like the b/w best. I looked at the whole scene, which I liked for a subtle but good Crooked entry, but missed that she was a model.
I was one of your 9 votes. I'm so glad that you didn't do the tilt thing!

I'm thinking you should have tilted your camera, too, for full points from some :)

Admittedly, I was voting over the speed limit -- but it did stop me and made me look. I wasn't sure. It didn't affect my vote.

I suspect it was not crooked enough for some voters as the photo itself is excellent and goes without saying the costume making is on another level.

"A little too STONE-like ;)"
07/27/2015 06:16:20 AM · #19
Yup I fell for it. Same score regardless. :)

+1

+ I didn't feel the image addressed the challenge particularly well.

+ Some would find it creepy.

I recognized her as a young girl and not a statue. The costume is extremly well done - I was wondering about the passage between sleeve and hand...
Like Bear I think it was not crooked enough for most voters, maybe. I gave you a 7
07/27/2015 02:41:36 AM · #22
I knew it was a costume, and I knew it was your daughter... It's well-made so you got a 6 from me even though I didn't feel the image addressed the challenge particularly well.

First glance caught me thinking it was a statue, but a blink later, it was obvious. Gave it a 7. Would have scored it lower in color.

i thought it was a statue great make up/paint job!
