Finding Death in Greed

This was a fly I found dead in my fridge, between the Miracle Whip and salad dressing. I find simplicity in the inevitable, as the most simple things in nature (to me) are life and death. The fly found his demise in his greed.

Simple, I suppose.... Might be more meaningful though if there were something recognizable I could focus on...

It's an interesting title but it is hard to figure out. What is going on in this shot? It is not in focus (intentional? Dunno), can;t make out the object.

I'm yet another who doesn't understand the shot -- it looks like a pair of maple seeds to me. Beyond that, let me analyze the shot on its own merits. If you were aiming for abstract (and it could make an interesting abstract, I think), then there's no reason to keep it so small. If you were trying to keep the out of focus aspect minimized by keeping it small, then even at this size the focus problems are readily apparent. There's simply nothing to tie the viewer to the image, my eyes keep shifting between the three "figures" in the shot -- the dark central figure and the two light spots. All my opinion, but I think you can probably do a more intriguing version of this -- whatever it may be.

I don't get this at all....can't see anything but a blurry bird shape

I'm afraid the only thing I can think of to say is... "huh?" Sorry...

This is way to simple for me. The photo is small, your may subject is very much out of focus, and I don't understand the lighting here. I don't understand your photo without the title, which is a negative point, too. Sorry, and please don't feel my comment as an attack, I would like to help you with some points.

Picture is a bit too small. Nice idea
12/10/2003 12:39:47 PM
help..i can't figure out what this is? :(
12/10/2003 12:39:10 PM
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Can't tell if this does or not. Exposure composition focus lighting... again, can't tell.

Personal: Not enough information here to form an opinion. As such, my opinion is low. Allowing more visual cues to show in your photograph would have boosted this.

My vote: 1

Seeing how concept photo's seem not to score highly in this group, this probably won't do to well, but there is something to this OoF shot.
12/10/2003 08:36:12 AM
this is simply not clear enough to make any impact or relate to it's title
12/10/2003 07:27:34 AM
I totally don't get this shot. Perhaps I'm being obtuse - but I think it needs a little clarifying.
12/10/2003 06:49:14 AM
Just too blurry for me. Maybe I don't get it?
12/10/2003 06:00:58 AM
I am sorry but I have absolutely no idea what that is meant to be.
12/10/2003 05:30:21 AM
I don't get the relationships between death, greed, bird (?), and out of focus image. If I'm missing something, please explain and I can come back for a rescore
