Here are my tens in the comp. Different from the voters But I stand firm.....

It still sells....

Funny that the ribbon winners got an 8, 8 and 7 from me respectively. I liked these because I felt with text, these showed the most potential. I also took into cosiderations the possibilities without the constraints of basic editing. Thanks again for your toleration..

You didn't get me mad and I thank you for your expert opinion.
I hope we have another advertising challenge soon so I can improve using your suggestions.

thanks thats what i was going for.. I appreciate that someone got the point. i believe that in an ad like that less is definetly more and they are mostly all about lighting and making it look pretty.. that being said i do agree with the sharpness, i guess thats why ive been geting lower scores than i expected.
Thank you for your honest comment.

I know what you're saying but the point in ads is to get the "message" to as many as possible. If most don't get it, it probably isn't going to work. I agree sharper definitely gets better results in the ad world and especially in DPC challenges.

Thanks for the comment - I actually purchased a lime for the shot but didn't use it...should have. Hindsight being 20/20 there are a coupe other key things I could have done better (that being one of them). Nevertheless your comment was indeed helpful.

Well I finally finished commenting on every entry! I took each entry seperately and didn't use canned or pasted comments. Nice job by everyone and I hope no one's mad at my comments. I see a lot of "professional" ads in publications that I don't like or understand so remember my opinion is only one take on your creative product. It'll be interesting to see how my ratings compare with the general voting population. Thanks for tolerating me. I believe I gained alot by doing this and I'm (as always) impressed by the level of talent competing on this site.

Thank you.

I love law and order and I did see this skit on SNL. Too Funny.

I'm almost finished (less than 20 to go) I hope I didn't rant to much.... Very nice job by all.

Awesome. With "real world" type challenges, it rocks to get real world feedback from those with experience in the field. Comment away!
