Interesting concept for the challenge... However, I feel your execution missed on a couple of points...

The table to the right and below the Bible adds nothing... Crop it out :)

If you could have found a better light source that would give an even illumination it would have been a big help too... To see what I mean, look at Chapter 2, Verse 23 and compare the readability to Chapter 3, Verse 3... The light on 3:3 is much harsher and makes it more difficult to see... To be "a light unto the world", you will need to master lighting a little better :)

The focus on parts of the apple are off... I feel this could have been a MUCH better shot if it had been much closer in and only had the bitten part of the apple...

Last, but certainly not least, the Bible should (in my opinion) be straight... It is severely slanted here...

Great concept though... Nice interpretation of the challenge.

I knew I'd see this sometime! Lighting could be better - the flash is a real pain in the apple. Viewpoint is a bit dull, perhaps improved by coming lower down closer to the page and using less of the apple (macro?). [4]

nice idea, but the composition and lighting seem a bit too ordinary. Try experimenting with shadows and different angles.

Good idea, but the flashlight hurts the picture with its reflection

Flash did you a bit of harm.. Thought right on.

I like the thought and staging a lot. Greater depth of field to render both the apple and the text sharply would have been a plus.

good idea.. poor execution.. flash from camera too harsh?
07/30/2003 09:26:41 PM
brill - if only the apple was pin sharp

nice idea

Very original idea, lighting looks to be from an on camera flash(corners are a little dark), probably would have helped to have more ambiant light. 7

very creative.

I think this is a fantastic idea. I woul have set the pages on some foliage to give the effect of actually being there. Again, it was a really good idea with a lot of potential.

really good idea... light is too harsh... did you use a flash?
