3 - Seems amateurish and well, a take on an older style, kind of. The cigar lit might pack a little more punch, who knows.

Delightfully unappealing. More "urban schtick" than "fine art". With fine art photos, I want to be impressed either with the story conveyed by the photographer, or some oblique metaphor that has an instant connection with me. I want to know who the photographer is, and what he/she thinks. I only get, "This guy likes feet," or, "This gal likes guys who like feet" from this, and don't really need/want to know anything else. Technically, tones are lovely, contrast is great; the light is perfect for this scene. Selective desat, which is usually so overdone, works well for this image. Composition is spot-on. Nice.

Is it an ad for nail polish or cigars? Very nice shot but smells more of commercialism than fine art to me.

Brilliant. Would've liked to see the tip flaring red and some smoke, tho. :)

Ha! Some may find this sexy, I like the literal interpretation. Cigars taste and smell like a sweaty foot! 8

This is one of my top three favorite shots in what is a challenge full of some excellent shots. This IMHO is very ribbon worthy. It works on so many different levels. Just an absolutely magnificent photograph and perfect for this particular challenge in my opinion. The third 10 I have given out in this challenge. Good work.

My favorite so far. Love the pic, love the tones and the red toenails. 10

Now there's a unique idea and this is my next to last image in voting. Saved one of the best for the end I guess. Great job. 10

Fetishistic! Interesting photo. I'm not crazy about desat in general and the bright red nails are maybe a touch overdone, but I think your entry needed something quirky (in addition to the subject), so maybe the color was the best way to go.

Does this meet the challenge?, yes it does. The selective desat works well.

Interesting.

cool idea....I think you should crop it till the tip of the cigar to get closer to the foot and face!

Reminds me of the lyrics from a Pink Floyd song. Not sure if that was your intention or not. Anyway this is a great image…….oh, by the way...which one's pink?
03/09/2010 01:10:12 PM
euuuuiiiii....good de-saturation and clarity
