No special techniques, no lighting...
No professional camera, no experienced photographer...
No good shot, calculations of exposure...
Yet the moral is clear, the meaning is enough...
Two opposites on this planet...

Concept was good, but shot was without definition/clarity.

this is way too noisy. and the lighing is all wrong.

I know the background contrast brings out the message of your photo, but I think I'd like a little more differentation between background and foreground would help.

Cool idea for a picture, I like the idea alot. I think you'll get burned a bit for the noise, looks like you took the picture in very very low lighting. Nice job though...

Blurry and plain. You could have made this more dynamic by putting the items a little closer together, and using more directional light.
05/15/2004 01:14:48 PM
it could be focused better, and better lighting.
05/15/2004 12:13:38 PM
This is very out of focus and grainy.The composition is static and the horizon line is tilted.
05/14/2004 04:39:42 PM
Black vs. white and war vs. peace - contrasting tones and symbols working together - that's good. Image appears very grainy - I think the contrast apparent in your background detracts from the contrast you've established between your two objects.

where is the focus? also image is flat... needs more contrast
05/14/2004 10:04:42 AM
The table edge on the right is distracting, and the image is very grainy. Might have also done better from a more interesting angle than head-on. Maybe contrasting the knife against the flag.

The elements in this photo look blurry. There is too much gray/white in this photo for my taste- it makes everything look dull.
05/13/2004 05:07:03 PM
Looks rather grainy, and out of focus
05/13/2004 03:02:13 PM
Better focus could have improved this.
05/13/2004 01:44:50 PM
Having both objects leaning over to the right rather upsets the impact you were obviously trying for. An interesting image otherwise.

This picture is poorly lit, out of focus, dully composed. What's the white thing -- a surrender flag? Are they stuck to some sort of table? Why? There's no dynamic tension in the picture.
05/13/2004 12:33:52 PM
very grainy, bad focus..
05/13/2004 02:15:24 AM
is it supposed to be so blurry? awful lot of negative space.
05/12/2004 11:25:35 PM
Good choice of opposites. There is too much negative space, its out of focus, and there really doesn't seem to be any detail in the knife. I would like to see you rework this idea with a little more creativity. 3

My suggestion for imporvement here would be less of a staged look. This is just a boring set up and needs something else to help it connect. A hat, tank, better background, tree branch, army men...etc. Maybe the knife on the flag....? The noise is distracting from the shot. ?More light and a lower ISO for less noise. Best of luck in the challenge.

This photograph is so poorly done I can't imagine why you ever submitted it to the contest. Not only is it out of focus and grainy, but it is so uninspiring as to be brain-deadening. A knife near a white flag... The lighting is terrible, there is virtually no contrast in this photo, and the composition is so ill-conceived as to be mind-boggling. There is nothing interesting about this photograph whatsoever. Please don't waste our time posting photos like this.
05/12/2004 01:49:46 PM
Interesting idea, not a very good shot though. Sorry, out of focus, grainy and nothing to really hold my attention. A 2

The granularity and lack of focus hurt this good idea. And toilet paper is a strange choice of flag materiel.
05/12/2004 01:10:10 PM
Is this taken from a cell phone camera? The grain and noise is very extreme. If it's a regular digital, you may want to reduce the ISO to 80 or 100 at the very least. This also doesn't look in focus.
05/12/2004 12:18:13 AM
noisy and out of focus. good idea otherwise.
05/12/2004 12:14:50 AM
Great idea, but the quality is unfortunately not up to par. with better quality, this image would be amazing. 8.
