SO last minute! Ugh!

Post: Thanks for all the votes and comments. Yes, I'd deliberately created the out of focus look. Probably would've helped my score if I hadn't.
Bear, as for the upside-down sign, I was trying to echo the shape of the fingers. ;)

Peace.

Love the idea and the year was a fun year! The image is just not very sharp which distracts from the photo.

Nice elements, flower, peace sign, hand, curls, face, eye, nicely combined, interesting crop. But the image is just too blurry everywhere. Most viewers, including me, want to see at least some detail sharply in focus, otherwise it just becomes blurry and annoying, especially for something with nice elements, potential and promise.

While it may have been intentional to be oof, because of the "acid", but it doesn't work for me. I don't like the cropping (face cut in half) either.

the photo is a cool idea but it is blurry-probably intentional. i think it would look better if it wasn't blurry.

..you could have been more psichadelic than this..

Picture is badly oof. Color cast is too red. Crop is too tight.

Cool idea, but the photo looks blurry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/26/2006 01:53:40 PM
I love the colors, design, and close crop. I think it would be better if the focus was sharper.

Focus is too soft for my liking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/25/2006 01:20:51 PM
nice concept - seems OOF...maybe that was the look you were going for? :)

Your model looks like she is straight off of Haight & Ashbury. The yellow peace sign comes off a bit hokey and unreal (cut from paper and taped on?) but the rest of the image is extremely evocative of the period. 6

The concept is good. Unfortunately the focus seems a bit off.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2006 12:29:43 PM
A little soft
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2006 11:04:05 AM
Really blurry / out of focus. Maybe its on purpose to convey the acid trips.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2006 10:19:22 AM
Great idea but the lack of focus detracts from the final product.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2006 02:36:43 PM
would have liked to have seen this in a bit more focus.. but may be that's not what you were going for..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2006 12:50:31 PM
Focus seems off and there seems to be color cast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2006 12:22:34 PM
I like the idea , maybe the Acid was why nothing was in focus? Not sure. Could have seen more of the face and hand. Like the colors though. 5.

Gotta turn that peace sign rightside up... This pic does bring back a few memories, though :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

For me, if your photo was a bit more focused - either on the peace sign or the face I would have scored it higher. Good idea to represent the ear though.

Just a bit out of focus.

The photo is unfortunately out of focus.

I don't like picture that don't look natural.. In my opion you overdid it with filthers.. however, the idea and composition are very good.. meets the challenge.. 6

Yes, we can't forget the acid. At first, I wasn't sure about the softness but the more I look at it, the more I like it. 7

Interesting photo - a bit orangey. Curious about the up-side-down peace sign?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/22/2006 03:56:09 AM
maybe to be out of focus is your wish... but in this case imho it doesn't fit
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/22/2006 01:28:00 AM
would have been good had it been in focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/22/2006 12:37:46 AM
