Hi David, Scott here from the CC. I had a good look over all your work submitted so far and over all I like it.. Your Blow submission is by far my favorite...awesome lighting (still my downfall) and very appealing all around. I think that some of the comments about DOF and subject focus were correct but I dont thing the pic would have worked as nice with the changed to the Grains/Powder. Tough call when trying to guess what voters will like. BEST advice I can give take comments and just try to see how others are feeling about your work. The overall perception. Dont let the narrow minded thinkers get to you, and if you like the pic and you took it for you then dont worry about the others. If your trying to please the masses then thats a differnet story. I take pics for me and me alone. If it feels good then keep clickn.

the pic is good...i would have given it a little more dof, but im not sure what limitations you have with your camera. i just think the subject material isn't so great because there's younger photographers on this website that might be...uh...inspired by this picture =/. the pic is good though, i'll give it an 8, how about that :)

.art-inept.

p.s. - I'm guessing this is scalvert.

there are small children on this site...were you even thinking??
edit:
well, i am coming back around for a second look at my votes and stuff, and even though i still think this shot is sort of "inappropriate" i guess, it's still a good shot...so i'm bumping it up.

I think this image would be better if the background was in focus. that would emphasize granular.

focus choice on powder itself might make this a more effective image.

i would have liked to see more detail in the granular subject

lack of focus on your granular subject blows this entry for me. would have preferred more focus on the powder substance that the 0 on the bill

While this is a really nice photo--the contrast, the subject insinuated, the angle, the composition, etc.--the focus is not too close on the "granular" substance. It is a good image, just a little bit off focus of the challenge. Deserves an 8.

Great photo. I hope it isn't marked down by the Puritans on this site.

The 80s called and they want their icon back.

If the focus were on the blow this would work better for me. Right now having focus on the bill doesn't create a lot of interest for me. You've got a lot of good texture in the powder - would be cool to see it.

Great DOF works well in black and white

If the 'blow' had been in focus and the bill blurred this would be a much stronger entry.

Nice lighting, gives this shot a nice moodiness.

The topic of granular isn't conveyed well. It looks a if the granular aspect is out of focus. I'm not sure what the in focus item is.
