This shot is just rad -- I think it should have placed higher. Do show us your alternates if you would.

I like the texture quite a bit... the lighting is also excellent.... I think a diagonal with the red would add a lot of impact... the red/blue contrast here is very eye catching :) = 8 - jmsetzler

You did an excellent job capturing this image. Metal isn't the easiest thing to shoot so cleanly.

Grate lighting! :) I love the colors you have captured. A little weak on the challenge, but terrific otherwise.

Incredible! They look little little speeding spaceships or eyeballs, all looking left.... I really like this picture. Is the grater from Ikea?

I never realized that a cheese grater could look this good! I don't see much of a texture, but then again, that's probably you're point.
I'll give it a 7

Meets Challenge8
Total Score9

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

Looks like an english cheese grater! Nice shot.

This is one of those pictures that you know what you're looking at and it still blows your mind. Great job. I like the colors, and how did you keep light from reflecting? karmat

Looks like flying bullets seen from behind :) Nice abstract shot.

*out loud* WOW. 10.

Brilliant concept! Very creative. Getting the split a little more to one side could be interesting (although you may be constrained by the dimensions/light). 9 - chakkobbo

I like how the red and blue colors are inverted in the edges of the holes. Nice work! *8* -balynch

Interesting how you were able to give it such a good color. Very nice.
07/22/2002 02:26:00 PM
very cool. I love the blue and red.
07/22/2002 01:15:00 PM
nice colours. Looks like West Ham or Aston Villa supporter's cheese grater. If you are from England you will know what I mean. Otherwise don't worry :)
07/22/2002 11:26:00 AM
nice job.

Going for the patriotic vote now, huh? I think it would have been better if there had been a reflection of Osama Bin Laden being killed, rather than just old flag colors. And I think the only reason it looks good at all is because it was obviously taken with a much superior camera than any of the rest of us have access to.

Nice abstract shot, very good. Kee

Cool picture of a cheese (and other stuff) grater! I like the contrast the two different colors provide.
07/22/2002 07:46:00 AM
this is a fun picture, very creative

oooh, this I like! You broke the rules and got clean away. I love that. I like the color change, and how the pattern changes accordingly. very cool.
