Personally Heida's work has been such an inspiration. I connect with her images in a big way. Was just wondering to what extent the entries will be replicas of her work ...

I think that many people on here, myself included, do not necessarily have an artistic background or particular flare and as such the ability to reproduce a style without replicating a photograph, intentional or not, may well prove very challenging.

I think, however, the biggest question is how will the voters judge the entries. That is to say will replication score higher than originality with similar style.

That thought in bold is valid not only for this contest but for each & every contest on DPC :)

By the way what I understood is that most of her images are having some mystical feel & some serious mood. I was tempting to enter an portrait after seeing her work on "Asia 2007" but considering the thought in bold I kept it back.I thought most of the voters will like to find which I understood. I may or may not have executed so well in my entery.

I do think that bonus points should be given for managing to capture the feel of heida without copying a shot. And I'm not saying that because it's what I did... ;)

Good luck with that request Doc. I am sure that one of the top threes will be a a good replica of her work. And not be my entry lol

I agree with you :)

The challenge clearly states "in the style of" so for me as an entrant I have gone with a creative interpretation... but again it's been proved time and time again that voters don't really read the challenge topic with the same understanding as the entrants... I think the top 5 will show a mix of replicas and personal art "in the style of".

Haven't entered anything seriously for SUCH a long time - was excited and inspired by this challenge as it popped up. Got a great image for my personal collection out of it .... Looking forward to seeing the images tomorrow!

For me, I picked a couple of aspects of Heida's processing to use, but the shot is definitely mine. It's about as much Heida as people in Austria are German.

I expect low 5s.

Chicken's have rashes?

I entered, pulled it, re-edited, re-edited again, and entered again. So I'm in with all the grace of an ox team. ;)

It might be. We'll let the voters decide.

I did the same. I have a shot that is definitely mine but PP'ed in what I believe to be the style of Heida. Usually have the purist out there that destroy a score because they "think" that's not exactly how she would do it. I have my reservations for this one but really had nothing for back to school and wanted to get in on a challenge. This is my first one in a while.

I'm in as well and I feel the same as delin. This should be interesting to say the least.


I'm out. I pulled my shot. I've decided against tormenting myself with low scores this week. I really love her work, and there is no way my shot will represent her work respectively. I wish you all luck.

Well the photo processing is not like hers (I have no clue how she does it), but I hope I captured her idea. Who knows, I can only wish. :)

Dang, I should have been shooting this morning's fog cover instead of mucking stalls. What was I thinking? Good luck, all. Look forward to seeing everyone's entries.

Did someone say something?

I havent entered any in some time and picked this one of all things to enter... will most likely be a new all time low for me lol
 09/08/2009 11:34:26 PM · #72
I'm kind of excited. I haven't hit a rollover for a while. Probably setting myself up for diappointment, but I am interested to see what people come up with.

I saw a few photos in Heida's portfolio that remind me of your style. I have a feeling yours will score very well if it is what I'm thinking.

I entered in Heida as well. Let's see...this could bomb or be decent 6+. It's a deep photograph to me and hopefully Heida voters. I have a bad feeling I will get a 4.9!

A heida top 10 and easy to do.

I put it at 5. Takers?
