Great use of lines and color!
03/17/2009 04:37:08 PM
Good use of lines, interesting photo.
03/17/2009 01:27:43 PM
I'm not sure yet if I like the blur in this or not... It certainly is interesting to look at, all the different angles and lines and stripes are fun.

He was known as The Chameleon, although most used that name in jest rather than in seriousness. For though he considered himself a hero of some fame and repute, quite the opposite was true.

For it was often that someone came walking along, and looked over to see him there, frozen against a wall, trying desperately to blend in. He thought himself quite invisible and had the ability to completely ignore the fact that everyone saw him, plain as day, or their laughter and snide remarks.

And in his mind he accomplished great deeds with his abilities, but in reality he was merely the talk of the town and a source of amusement, as a jester in the court of a King of old.

"No editing" You should have sharpened, I think.

03/16/2009 02:41:15 PM
Great title. Looks like a fun person.
03/16/2009 12:26:11 PM
It's blurry...
03/16/2009 12:56:28 AM
Interesting shot,great pose and use of the stripes in background with the strips on the shirt.
03/15/2009 09:07:22 PM
nice pose but i'm not sure about your focus or how serious this is
03/15/2009 03:56:36 PM
Hah, so is he blending in with his shirt?
03/15/2009 10:11:18 AM
Great colours and composition, a really pity that it's OOF
03/15/2009 08:31:13 AM
I'm sorry I don't care for this. I don't like the lighting or the focus. I do like the positioning of the model
03/15/2009 07:08:14 AM
no editing but it doesnt justify it.. (for me ;)

is this really your best picture? :)

Badly out of focus. Are you sure this is the best photo you have ever taken and your hidden gem?
03/15/2009 05:54:41 AM
This is so strange and wird - all I have to say is good luck in this challenge
03/15/2009 12:16:46 AM
sorry , image just does not appeal to me. you may have tried to potray movement but it did not quire work.
03/15/2009 12:10:23 AM
Late Night, Great Light - A couple of beers?

Just kidding, too blurry for me
03/14/2009 09:35:18 PM
This looks like it was fun!
03/14/2009 05:27:26 PM
He's like a "where's waldo". I don't like the orange light, sorry, or the blurriness.
03/14/2009 03:39:47 PM
There's a great idea here with the striped top and the pattern on the wall. Pity the technicals aren't better.
03/14/2009 03:34:21 PM
A study in orange. The lines are interesting, but the shot is out of focus
03/14/2009 03:08:36 PM
I really like this, it made me smile. you just reminded me of my own son!!
03/14/2009 11:35:58 AM
I find it interesting that his shirt matches the background, but other than that, I don't particularly enjoy this photo.
03/14/2009 11:13:44 AM
way out of focus...
03/14/2009 09:16:16 AM
Usually, titles generally aren't that important to me, but in this case the title is really hurting the image for me, at least the "no editing" bit. I would rather think that you chose to make the picture this way, either through careful shooting or editing. I like the image; but announcing that you did no editing makes it seem like you couldn't be bothered with it.
03/14/2009 08:55:57 AM
A little too blurred for me.
03/14/2009 06:57:02 AM
Too soft IMO
03/14/2009 06:29:13 AM
It's very blurry... Camera shake? Subject movement? Not so great light after all...
03/14/2009 05:39:50 AM
interesting pose!
03/14/2009 12:33:44 AM
7 because I just can't resist. cool shot.
03/13/2009 10:32:35 PM
A fun image, though I might disagree with the Great Light part of your title. :)
03/13/2009 08:49:37 PM
The Orange Dance! Wish the crop didn't take out the bottom of the foot.
03/13/2009 03:08:31 PM
interesting shot, love the play of parallel lines
03/13/2009 02:29:16 PM
What a fascinating entry. I wonder why you chose this particular image? I just wish it was 720.
03/13/2009 01:23:47 PM
the stripes on stripes is pretty cool. i'd like it more if the focus was a bit better, but that's tough to do hand held in low light
03/13/2009 11:54:49 AM
he merges in perfectly with the pattern on the wall, well seen
03/13/2009 11:14:05 AM
different
03/13/2009 11:01:23 AM
If this was clearer, I would probably really like this shot a lot. The lighting is cool, the stripes on stripes is interesting, and I love the pose.
03/13/2009 09:04:33 AM
really clever i hope you score well
03/13/2009 06:56:41 AM
Very red and stripy! Missing some focus, but that's probably the late night.
03/12/2009 08:37:40 PM
It just looks blurry and orange to me.
03/12/2009 05:13:10 PM
No kidding!
03/12/2009 04:32:08 PM
I'm not sure that I am really getting this picture. However, I like the patterns matching in the background and the shirt. It has an interesting overall affect that is kinda cool.
03/12/2009 12:26:33 PM
Orange is my favorite color. Your glowing in it. Cool shoes.
03/12/2009 07:12:09 AM
Sorry but this needs a lot of work. The light it to orange. Needed to set the camera to accept indoor light like that. The subject is to blurred.
03/12/2009 07:07:55 AM
Interesting shot abut a bit too blurry for my taste.
03/12/2009 05:56:35 AM
Odd. Orange. Striped. not sure what to do with this one.
03/12/2009 03:50:37 AM
Really? None?? ...sorry for the sarcasm - this image just doesn't do anything for me and while I have liked some images that break all the techincal rules, this aint one of them. Good luck though.
03/12/2009 12:06:44 AM
interesting pose - and yes, great light!
03/11/2009 10:06:47 PM
Like the stripes in shirt matching those on the door / wall.
03/11/2009 09:00:58 PM
you can tell there was no editing
03/11/2009 06:49:15 PM
sneaking in again, huh? lol! Blurry, unfocused, but great humor factor!
03/11/2009 04:22:49 PM
Looks like a spontaneous moment of dance. A little blurry, though I am sure you have had that comment already... I like the pose, and also that there was no editing.
03/11/2009 04:16:39 PM
I like the color and the repeating lines of the background and his shirt
03/11/2009 01:41:00 PM
out of focus, the light is too harsh, one foot cut .... but strnagely i like the position of the subject and the lines in the shot. but i'm afraid you are gunning for the last spot :)
03/11/2009 08:58:36 AM
Interesting shot! Really like how he seems part of the background.
03/11/2009 03:41:10 AM
i guess the shirts matches
03/11/2009 02:51:56 AM
Cool shot!
03/11/2009 01:38:53 AM
I have mixed reactions to this. Great composition and background. Great sense of energy. Color is attention grabbing. Wondering if I would like it better with sharper focus ... maybe not.
