This probably won't meet the challenge in accordance with many people's interpretation, but I felt like entering. *shrugs* It's been awhile since I've entered, I just figured since I had something that would fit in according with a more loose interpretation, I might as well go for it.

This is my friend Victoria during a photoshoot that I did for her at Anime Expo. She was dressed as Duo Maxwell from the anime Gundam Wing.

I see the circle. This is a good photo and should've scored higher. The focus is just right. Good contrast too.

What does this have to do with the challenge? I see only the rounded squares in the glasses as anything near round. Although I can see that what the person is leaning against might be a circle, you don't see enough of it. Otherwise, a very good photo. 4

Interesting portrait. I assume the circle refers to the rolled-up sleeves?

i dont see the circle.
07/11/2005 02:54:42 PM
WHY IS THIS HERE?????
07/10/2005 08:32:44 PM
I don't see how this meets the challenge, and I must score appropriately, however, I did want to let you know I enjoy this photo.

I cannot find any way that this meets the challenge for Circle...was it entered in the wrong one by accident?

Nice picture. The lighting is nice...good for B&W. I'm a person that likes eyes, so I'm not too keen on the sunglasses, but that's just me. If they was a more interesting reflection (perhaps a circle?) on them, I would probably feel differently. It seems to me like the picture should be rotated at the bottom to the left just a couple of degrees. Now, as I'm looking at the picture closer, I'm realizing that the person is looking out a circular opening in the wall. AHH!! Perhaps the picture should have been taken a little bit more behind the person to possibly see more of the opening for this challenge.

"Take a photograph where this basic shape is clearly shown as a key element. "

sorry, don't see it as a key element.

hmmmm not sure where the circle is ... I see elipsoids but, not circle.
07/08/2005 01:12:59 PM
and the circle is....where?
07/08/2005 12:16:52 PM
Where's the circle? I guess I missed it! The photo is a nice picture however.
07/08/2005 12:02:59 AM
interesting picture but I am not seeing any circles...
07/07/2005 05:04:48 PM
wheres the circle in this?
07/06/2005 11:56:53 PM
It's like a puzzle / riddle...find the circle...is it her sunglasses...nope, not really circles...oh...it's what she is leaning on? I really don't see "circle" as a key factor here at all...sorry.
07/06/2005 07:43:19 PM
where is the circle here?
07/06/2005 02:50:36 PM
I see no circles here.
07/06/2005 02:31:41 PM
Where is the circle in this shot?
07/06/2005 09:56:18 AM
Fabulous shot but where is the circle?
07/06/2005 04:35:28 AM
I'm not seeing circles. Sunglasses? The arms?
07/06/2005 02:18:33 AM
Not really seeing a circle, but I'll give you the benefit of doubt. The subject is interesting and has attitude, but the hat and the position of the hands seems unnatural. Also, taking an engaging photo of someone wearing dark sunglasses is difficult. Next time, perhaps try to incorporate something with similar style that allows us to see the eyes.
