Thanks for all the great comments. When I shot this I didn't notice the edge of the bench being out of the frame, I wish I did because it annoys me too. Ahh well chalk that up as another learning experience from DPC.

a meaningful statement about a true, impossible to ignore, trend.

Greetings from the Critique Club. Congratulations on your first place ribbon. Being the son of an obese father I know and feel this all to well. This is a splendid photo, nice composition, DOF, and colors. What really makes it stand out is the sad truth about it and that this is a real problem. Great capture and good luck in future challenges.

Congrats, diversq. I loved this shot at first sight, rated it 9 and waited for the ribbon.
I love this kind of photos - not build-in-studio I mean - cause is really difficult to find a good subject during the week matching the contest. When it happens, like this time, it is always a pleasure to high rate them.

Definitely a growing trend in America....great photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Definitely a trend. Technically a very nice photo. One minor thing is the cropping out part of the bench on the right. Nice tattoo as well. =-p

Fits the category well. Nice bit of candid snapping. I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The subject of this type photograph can be so hard to compose. But I liked your DOF and the great bright colors. Nice photograph.

This is definitely a growing trend!! Great shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/27/2003 05:01:17 PM
Nice snap. A good study of a worrying trend too! I like the space to the left of the shot, but it would have been nice not to crop the back of the bench even if it meant pulling back slightly. [7]

if you had zoom in on their guts..... that would make it even better
  Photographer found comment helpful.

America perhaps?... great focus,sharpness ...what a scary trend well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/25/2003 06:56:26 PM
Nice control over the depth of field here. The background is a bit distracting, but its soft focus helps direct the viewer's attention back to the subjects.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/24/2003 09:23:36 PM
right on, great candid shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/24/2003 07:06:06 PM
You are the winner as far as I'm concerned. Perfect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/24/2003 02:43:58 PM
yes... very much in current affairs... funny shot, yet sad at the same time... Great thought for the challenge, and great shot! (also think it is ironic that the one guy has a playboy bunny on his arm!)

This isn't the greatest 'trends' photo i have seen this week, but it's the greates photo in general that i have seen this week... great work... = 10

I take that back... overeating and laziness are a great trend concept... phenomenal photo :)

The best interpretation of the bunch. Great shot in all ways.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/23/2003 01:51:01 PM
I think this one would've been better in B&W. I like the idea though, it's clever & sort of provocing at the same time. Thumbs up for that :)

On my 'initial' pass through the thumb-nails your entry screamed 'click me'. This is a super photo with excellent detail, composition, color, dof, etc. Very well done!
