Critique Club Comment:

Greetings! Interesting shot. You have chosen to go artsy with this by adding noise. Your composition is good. The lines leading into the frame are nice. The color conversion is good with nice gradients. Being that this is more artistic then photographic, it is a little difficult to recommend anything to 'better' the shot. This is truely a photo that is 'in the eye of the beholder'. Some people will not like it, while others love it. That's what art is. It invokes emotion, either good or bad.

I honestly like the shot. It's simple but artsy.

The reflections in this photo are nice. The black and whites are also nice.

While this effect is interesting, it no longer looks like a photograph. Most folks on this site seem to prefer photography to digital art. I think you'll find this would have scored higher without the post processing. Also, I'm not sure how this depicts a cliche shot, but i've decided that cliche can be many different things to different people, so I'm treating this as an "open" challenge.

I like the idea you had in this picture. I think by backing away from the phone would have made it less blury and by using black and white would have brought more intrest to this picture. Nice Work

I like the texture effect of this. Not sure how it is a cliché though.

I'm curious to hear how you created this effect in/before camera. It looks great - so "old style" if I can be so boring in my description. Framing is wonderful also, and I like the way the background is fading to black around the edges - did you light this deliberately?

Great effect! The handset pictured alone would have made a better subject IMO. 8

Very interesting. I like the noise. It gives it a nice effect.

I know it's intentional but I don't like how sharpened it is. Even without sharpening a lot of people wouldn't recognize what this is. They haven't been around in their lifetime. Sorry but this is personally un-appealing. Still want to color outside the lines?

Is this what you call an Abstract? It really doesn't make any sense to me. It's really grainy/which you've done a good job on, but other than that, it just doesn't "wow" me. Sorry.

good job, funny title
02/03/2003 02:35:18 PM
i like the composition of the phone and the way you took something with a very hard surface and made it appear soft! the sepia tone also makes a new phone look very old. good job!

Good picture, i really dont care for the graphics added, but nice photo.
02/03/2003 01:26:50 PM
I like the style of pictures in B&W or similar with lots of grain. Also, the telephone adds to the old look. Nice shot. Good luck.

interesting concept... but looks like an illegal texture was used of this shot...
02/03/2003 03:53:58 AM
I've seen several shots in this challenge w/ this crosshatch "look". Would you mind telling me how it is done? Very artsy shot. I like it tho I'm not sure that telephones are exactly an overdone photo subject.
