I'm not saying this is art. I'm not sayig this is something great but highly underrated. I don't know what this is. this is not my best photo. maybe it was just a bad try. but I hope I will learn from it.
thank you for you comments Azrifel!
the photo should look chaotic, with no balance, no clear details. I want it this way. you shouldn't know what I have in my hand, you should guess what this is and what I was doing with it. it should look dark and unsaid, unclear and weird.
:(((
Now I understand. But people at dpc don't expect that in a challenge like this. Without a caption it is also very hard to tell what the intend of the photographer is.
At dpc you need to make your message clear in two seconds. If the viewer doesn't see it in two seconds or you cannot make him stop for any longer the voter goes on and gives it an everage score. That's the downside of a competition orientated site as opposed to an art judgement site.
Let me guess.....
Is it a cigaret on a really long stick and you are smoking it?

I gave this a five, because the contrast is too hard.
Too much of the main subject for this challenge (portrait -> person) is in very dark shade. The part of the person that is lit, contrasts too hard with the shadows. Same goes for the background like vs subject light. I'd like to see more balanced lighting.
The scene also looks chaotic. What is that background about, what is it that you are holding in your hand, are you poking it in your eye (that's what it looks like).
a wonderful tableau! it has the fun sort of decadence of the Addams Family combined with the Surreal touch of Man Ray. It's like a subtler version of Dali. 10
