I like this very much!

I am not a photographer so pardon my ignorance. But I wd imagine if the sizes were a bit varied and the falling action also showed more angles, the 'all' in the title wd be more truly represented in the visual. Just my humble, amateur opinion.

This goes into my favs!!

I like this photo. Same title as mine and same subject but you sure managed to make it look a lot more interesting.

Evil twin indi? I deny that! :P

I like the abstractness of this photo. I agree that you should have found a way to make the reflection line across the bottom more horizontal, but it would be cool also if you took it the opposite direction and used a sharper angle to the dominoes so that they went from large to small moving left to right. I know it can be tough when your shot has an "evil twin" in the challenge. That seems to help one and hurt the other, but you were lucky to be on the receiving end.
I think that the comment about them looking like they are standing up has to do with the lighting and long exposure. A second synch flash might have helped the "after" image be stronger than the "before". I had to find a way to fake that for my motion shot.
Nitpick: It would be nice if you could have achieved more even lighting as there seems to be sort of a spot-light effect going on. The lighting is strongest in the center.
Overall, it is obviously a strong image that many people liked. I like the black and white, but actually prefer more organic lines. The strong verticals are just a little too stark for my personal taste, but I can appreciate the photo and the work that went into it.

Excellent.

Good long exposure shot. Nice reflections.

Seems like the camera was not perfectly parallel to the dominoes. Notice how the length from the edge of the photo to the dominoes becomes larger as it moves to the right. Just something to keep in mind for next time; I have a problem with it in all my photos. Good use of grayscale.

nice composition..... a straighter angle of the light may have helped avoid the uneven edge of the reflection at the bottom

Excelent shot. Definately showing motion and I love the use of black and white here. Your angle and framing/cropping are great, and lighting is very nicely done as well. Great shot. One of my favorites in this challenge. Good luck in the challenge.

Excellent idea. To be honest I think it might have been better with a plain dark background without the reflection.
12/12/2002 09:07:08 AM
clever! i like the white against the black and being able to see the dominos fall one after the other!
12/11/2002 11:19:27 PM
Good execution. Simple shot (maybe not in technique but in terms of its composition, subject matter). Very clean, interesting to look at.
12/11/2002 11:17:21 PM
OMG, that must have been tough to get. Good job!
12/11/2002 12:25:10 PM
The motion seems backward, like they are all standing up instead of all falling down, but that's just a feature, not a problem! 8 nards656

Like it very much! especially the use of a mirror makes it interesting. For me a 9
12/09/2002 04:21:11 AM
I think this one may have worked better as a stop motion, seems a bit busy this way.
12/09/2002 01:27:23 AM
