Thank you all very much for the nice comments. This site makes taking pictures a very enjoying experience.

Karmat: the left side monitor is a drawing surface that reflected the natual back light. The right one is a computer monitor, and at the center we have a back-proyection monitor.

The title perhaps was not the best choice. I just wanted to infer the empty board room of a corporation with the empty accounts. (fortunately we are not involved at all with the corporate disasters of lately, eventhough we are a telecomunications company, but since we are based in Mexico, the acconting rules here wouldn't permit such errors and frauds.

Good symmetry. the only suggestion i would make would be to make sure the monitors were showing the same thing. Not sure what caused one to be bright and one dark, but it causes a noticeable glare on the left side of the picture. Still, a great job. karmat

the greying hair adds a nice touch to this bleak and cold photo, impressive!

Slim staff! Don't know what to say....is the focus slightly off or am just tired? Get him/her to pound on the table, hold up a chart, ...do something! There's nothing all that wrong with the shot, technically, and there is challenge materiel here, too, but no reason to come back and look again. 7 Swash

It could have used a better title... The picture fits the challenge well though.

Alone in "THE boardroom" Lonely at the top. Not that I'd know...lol It looks sterile enough to perform surgery, but probably no clean hands. That's how I read it. Sure meets the "Corporate Challenge."

Love this shot. Shame the right hand monitor isn't lite the same as the left hand one. Also the light on the left of the table is ashame. Nice though!

Nice shot. I like the lighting. Having one screen dark and one light saves the picture from absolute symmetry, which can be boring.
07/30/2002 04:12:00 PM
Great idea. The big shot is still around but everyone else has been layed off ... or at least that's what I get out of it. I love the balanced composition and the red highlights. I would've liked to see this with a bit more contrast to enhance the photo and the concept.

Absolutely hate the title – but the picture is superb. It is a great picture and it deserves to win the challenge – but, as you have already seen no doubt, it's up against some pretty stiff opposition. It fits every criteria, it has a great feel, and I think it should have been titled something like "The Boss Awaits!" It is a truly well thought out and professionally executed image. I will be disappointed on your behalf if this doesn't win – but I'm just one voter… (10++) Good luck

Nice composition and concept.
07/29/2002 05:20:00 PM
great idea and good perspective
07/29/2002 03:08:00 AM
I like the idea, but the colors/atmosphere is a bit lacking.
07/29/2002 02:11:00 AM
Good composition and lighting.
