 I set the camera settings and described the framing to Isaac who pushed the shutter, he couldn't model since he was unwilling to lean against a tree with some cobwebs on it.

I love the light that comes through the branches and onto the tree itself. I think you should have had the feet in the photo though.

Would have preferred if his feet were not cropped ou of the photo, as it gives an incomplte look

Good photo. The bend in the trunk makes it look as if it is yeilding a little to pressure.

Good photo but I want to see the effort he has on the face!

A very average pic. A good idea using the curve of the tree but the lighing isnt great and neither is the composition.

The bottom right a bit bright, a touch distracting. Overall very effective, even the bent trunk making it look as if the subject is making that progress.

I wish I could see the face but the hands and posture do show effort.

He's at least getting it to bow.....Great concept.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Bow in the tree is great for this. The "pusher" doesn't appear to have any body tension, more like leaning.

I would have liked to see more emotion in the person who is supposedly pushing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the bend to this tree for this challenge. It works perfectly for the illusion of movement
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 12:45:04 PM
At first I thought it was unoriginal but then I noticed that the tree looks like it's bending...I really like that you took such an obvious idea and made it far more original than most. Good job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 12:35:05 PM
would certainly work better if you could see his face
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 12:27:21 PM
I like the way you chose a tree that bends just where you push. That makes the shot work
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 12:08:20 PM
but at least your getting somewhere lol
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 09:15:38 AM
Nice, the bend of the tree works well, 7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 04:21:05 AM
the bend in the tree makes it look like he's getting there.. lol

Great shot, lacks originality.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
