Challenge: Progress (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix A210
Location: USA

Galleries: Snapshot, Textures
Date Uploaded: Jul 5, 2006

 I took this picture rather unexpectedly, I was working on another photo shoot when a little boy asked me if he thought the seeds in his hands (taken from an apple) would grow. I quickly snapped the picture, It made me think of \'You reap what you Sow\' To me that says progress, Because if you work hard you'll show progress and seceed.
Hope this one does well (better than the last at least!)

fascinating composition. i like the washed-out quality... it creates a glowing sort of ethereality.

I know you were going for a very specific look with the post-processing on this one, but it just feels too washed out and bland. It's a pity it was basic editing - if you'd had advanced rules and could have selectively saturated and boosted the colour of the seeds, it might have been quite a striking image.
Also, for the whole minimalist feel, I think placing the seeds off-centre might have been more appealing.

This is so subtle and wonderful! I love how the hand fills the entire frame. The title seems a stretch, but I don't place any weight in that at all. You're getting a high score from me, and if you get what you deserve, you'll have many, many more high scores. I love the counterpoint of the lines between the fingers and the spheres of the seeds. This is a calming image.

Photo is too washed out for my liking. Seeds placed in an old hand with lots of wrinkles would have been awesome.

I like the high key treatment - it's almost an abstract.

Without the title, the connection to progress would be weak at best. However, this image is exceptional and I've given you an 8.

I like this but I think if it were a little more white and a little less yellow the seeds would jump out a tad more and really make the shot more dramatic. Overall a very nice shot.

I like this a whole lot. perhaps a thumb groove and a touch more darkness and focus for depth, but hell, its a nice interpretation.
