The figures spell out 1990. The first figure is an atomic bomb representing the cold war. The second is a gas pump in the shape of a 9, illustrating the rising gas prices due to the first war in Iraq. The second 9 is Homer Simpson witha donut head signifying the rise of the cartoon The Simpsons. Finally, the 0 is Joe Montana, the 1990 Super Bowl MVP.

Interesting, but kind of lacking in creative force.

Seems like you have good subjects to work with, but you've reduced them to obvious paper cutouts. A 3D Homer doll plus carefully cut out Joe Montana arranged carefully could give a better for lighting and image/illusion of depth.

Nothing seems to be in focus and the arangment is too horizontal. Why is a fruit loop covering Bart's face? There isn't any separation from the background and subjects.

I'm sorry but this just isn't very good. the focus is bad and all you have done is cut out a few things.

blurry photo
11/26/2006 01:09:40 PM
composition?
11/26/2006 12:28:06 PM
Interesting idea, I think that a solid background would have worked better

Uhhh, I don't get it. I tried 2x.

Could be effective, but I find the composition OOF and not tightly cropped enough. A little bit of post processing would go a long way.

blurry and out of focus

It doesn't seem that much thought was put in to this photo.

Nice idea to combine different elements. Iwonder how this would look if they weren't lined up or if there were three instead of an even number of four?

Sorry, but I have to give this a low score on originality.
11/22/2006 12:08:14 PM
OOF
11/22/2006 11:26:22 AM
Yes, you've photographed some paper symbols of the year. Some I understand and some I don't. It doesn't use the power of photography to truely show the time and emotion. Keep working on it. 3

No offence.. the quality of the picture is poor.. esthetic appleal is lacking.. obviously, not much work has been devoted in contemplation of this shot.. that is why a gave it a low score..
11/22/2006 02:26:08 AM
Exposure and cut outs need more work.

tasteless
