		| | i never got to it before because i was suspended but i apologise to those of you who understood the photograph for the mediocrity you have to cope with on this site that is everyone else. 
 a painfully clear pop culture reference.. the duracell bunny? energizer. christ. and yes, pretentious? its a movie based on a comic book, isnt it? of course the lighting is going to be cliche spooky. how would you feel if a big black dude in leather just told you that your whole life was a lie, etc.
 
 well whatever. i'll get you all good next time.

		| | Hmmm...I'm not sure I get your title. But it's still a nice photo... |

		| | I don't get the title, but that's beside the point.  I like the way the shadow on the hand works, but I'm not keen on the background shadow -- perhaps using a secondary light source would help kill that.  The color of the hand is also a little... saturated, maybe?  (Whether in camera, or post-processed it just seems a little too "pink.")  I don't have a battery to compare it too, but the copper band seems a little dark, as well. |

		| | "Wha! splain me this one, Ricky."  In focus, dramitic lighting, but I don't get it. |

		| | The lighting is pretty interesting. |

		| | Nice battery picture.  I think you were stretching it a bit for a people challenge though.  Is there a message here I am not getting? | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/29/2002 09:30:00 AM | 
		| | Hmm.  Not quite what I expected for a people challenge.  I expected to see at least a face somewhere in the shot.  I probably just don't get it.  Technically a good shot. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/29/2002 08:15:00 AM | 
		| | Still don't get it.  The lighting is kinda nice though. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/28/2002 10:00:00 PM | 
		| | doesn't really meet the theme of the challenge. good clear picture, though, nice dof. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/28/2002 05:16:00 PM | 
		| | I'm kind of confused....  Morpheus is the Greek god of dreams, so the battery represents.... um.........   Say more! | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/28/2002 03:53:00 PM | 
		| | I'm missing the "people" connection here. Otherwise, clear image. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/28/2002 02:58:00 PM | 
		| | The bright light seems a little too harsh.   As for the photo concept, not a people shot in my opinion. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/28/2002 02:13:00 PM | 
		| | Shy?  Light on the people side (yes, I know that is a person's hand......)  Need more whole people. Photo 10 Creativity 8 People (see above) 4 total 5 (weighted most heavily on PEOPLE, not just a body part)

		| | i dont see how the subject of this is people, its a battery | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/28/2002 10:28:00 AM | 
		| | Has absolutely nothing to do with people! |

		| | A matrix view of people... | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/28/2002 06:54:00 AM | 
		| | Too much Matrix hmmmm.... | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/28/2002 12:35:00 AM | 
		| | Not sure how this sticks with the theme. Color and detail of subject is quite good. Just barely enough light to seaparate subject from background. I don't care for the lighting from below. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/27/2002 05:11:00 PM | 
		| | This is good shot. Fine work. I would guess this represents the Duracell bunny ______and he being a 'star' would make him a _people_.  <?> lol fun shot.
 | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/27/2002 04:58:00 PM | 
		| | title aside, as a photo, i would not light it directly from beneath front like that.  maybe a side light. that big shadow on the wall is distracting, adn the whole thing has a "halloween light shining up in vincent price's face" kind of air. |

		| | Is this a Duracell add from two challanges ago? | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/27/2002 07:02:00 AM | 
		| | I like the lighting effect around your hand.  Without it, this shot wouldn't be that interesting, but it brings the hand and the battery into a stronger focus.  How did you do that?  Nice play on the challenge topic |

		| | A friend of mine explained the reference to "The Matrix" to me, otherwise I would never have gotten this photo. I've only seen about half of that movie, and it was just a hollywood imitation of something far more interesting. I understand how that context makes this a photo about 'people' in a clever kind of way, and that hand is really well lit, but it's a bit obscure and seems about as shallow in a pretentious kind of way as the movie did. (Oops, getting a bit nasty... hmm, oh well). Still, I can't rate it low. |

		| | I don't see any interpretation of a PEOPLE theme with this photo... Maybe this would have worked as an advertisement challenge.... | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/27/2002 10:45:00 AM | 
		| | Did you miss the advertisement challenge from a few weeks ago?  This weeks challenge is People, and I don't see any in your picture. |
