Great idea! If only the male were a bit clearer, or a bit closer, to really get the effect of his baldness against the barber tools...

Hmmm... how did he get so bald?
07/03/2005 09:05:05 PM
well done

I can relate to the emotion in the picture/title combination. The black line in the table (crack or joint ?) is disturbing it a lot. 7.

This is certainly the most creative interpretation of obsolete I have seen in the 200+ entries. Good luck with this, you deserve a ribbon. 9

The man in the back is a tad too blurry. Some people may not be able to figure out what it is.

Love the composition. Is this Paper-Rock-Scissors, Leading lines or Obsolete?:) The DOF and sharpness of foreground subjects make this a very interesting image.

Great! Well photographed, creative idea & funny. (I would have preferred a little more focus on the scissors, but I love this nonetheless) Bumping to a 9.

Took me a second to catch that....very clever. The use of black and white here is perfect.

oh man, that made me giggle! Good thing i didn't use this as an example for my "obsolete for the situation photographed" rant but this does perfectly illustrate the point! I hope youre not getting knocked down by the "it's not obsolete if you can buy it" crowd - this is a great photo.

Nice composition! Love the line leading away from the scissors and comb to the subject! I'd prefer a slightly deeper DoF to keep the scissors sharp :p

I think this is the most creative picture of the challenge...I hope it scores high. Truly creative way to look at this challenge 10!

LOL!! Good take on the challenge. I love it!! Took me a second to make out the bald guy in the background because my eyes went to the comb and scissors first. This is one of my favorites for the challenge. 10

06/29/2005 02:57:56 PM
Clever idea.

Ha Ha! I love it! Very original idea! Great contrast.

whats that in the back? i cant quite figure it out and therefore i cant really understand your photo:)
06/29/2005 11:32:47 AM
OK - time to pull your chain a little ... I like the idea - he just looks a little too upset about the scissors and comb there! Good photo: 7

Heh, you made me think. I had to study this one. Good idea!!

Nice idea but the person being so out of focus tends to distract rather than make the point of the image a little I think...
