Thumbnail looked nice but I was kindof dissapointed when I opened this shot, mainly for the lack of image quality. Specifically I dislike the out of focus feet, the noise in the backround and the blown out highlight in the upper corner and frankly gave this shot a 3, I think the image quality is that bad. Shame as I like the thought process behind the image and if you had executed it better I would have given this a MUCH higher rating.
I do like the outside of the box thinking on this one, and I will score well for that. The photo I don't think is giving off the right mood for the context though. I think the grain takes the grace out of it, and its something that I'm longing for sort of. I dont know exactly I hope this helps though. It just seems like elements are working against each other.
Different take on the challenge - title is kinda needed to see it, though. Not exactly my cup of tea but I applaud the effort to try something a little different. I do like the gradient formed from light to dark.
Very nice...ethereal even. Although I'm sure I know what you did to get the floating effect, it is convincing enough that I can suspend my belief temporarily!
