The organized chaos of this image is great. I love the "spokes" coming out of the center. It is a strangley calm image evn though the parts of it are rusty with jagged edges. I like the fact that the botom of the "star" is cut off. If it was all visible then it would not have had the sme effect.

 

The camera settings for this image were well handled. It would hve been easy to loose the reds and rust that make this image interesting. The selective application of green in the center of the image was well done.

really good. i am not sure if i like or dislike the pole in the exact center though. it gives me the impression of popping the moon. haha 6/6

awsome! I love it... it must have been so hard to aligne those spoons, good job. 6/7

Quite the haunting image that you have here. I had to look at it for a while, not to figure out what it is but to figure out what he is doing. I still am not sure, but it looks like a desolate occupation. Technically this picture is interesting in that there is a lot of chaos on the bottom of it and none at the top. The two themes, chaos and peace, are united by the long rusting metal rod which stirs up the surface a bit when it gets to the peace side. I like the photo but honestly, was it takne this year? It looks like something from after WWII when the fivers went down to see/salvage destroyed ships.

I like this photo a lot. The spots of dirt and dust on the chain gradually are not noticed as the chain recedes into the distance, it seems to get cleaner as it is farther away. Also it fits the theme very well. The fact that it has an organe glow alludes to the machine's health... like it has been recently oiled or something. I have to congradulate you on this photo. If you had to do anything different, try to get rid of the bright yellow-orange dot on the leangth of the chain right near the left hand side of the photo.

I hink that you could improve it a bit more if the snake was angled to the sides so that the s-curve comes closer to the edges than thte center of the image. Having something along the rule of thirds lines would increase the appeal of this image, which is low (no contrast, color, ect).

I took this while walking in Philidelphia, touring the UPENN campus. I think that the soft impression is coming mainly from the fact that I was holding the camera, instead of tripodding.

 

I looked at your aley photos and you have taken a very different perspective on yours than I had not done. We both focused on lines but you chose to get the power lines instead of the ladder. We both focused on getting similar colors here as well, and at sunset. haha Great minds think alike. ;)

Thanks Knicki. This is a shot in my house up at my school. (I live in Duxbury, one of the boarding houses.) We have a field in the center of a U-shaped builing that holds ~60 students. We just recently installed floodlights so that we can play at night. (It gets dark pretty early in the day in Canada so we don't ge much time outside otherwise. I was just playing with slightly longer exposures here to get different effects. I especially liked this one, becuas of the fluidity of the figures. The single frozen fot and the two frozen legs in the back are just to give us (the viewers) a sense of placement, maybe even tell them that these are people and not just artistic blurs.

 

PS thanks for commenting on my photos that are not only in PT. :)

This is an interesting approach on "Parrallels" because the lines break down into points about halfway through. I like that becuase it implies dynamicism in the image, this is about change. Most people have taken the mathmatical approach and given perfectly straight lines that never intersect. But you have shown the more "human" side of parrallel, like a relationship, it goes great for a while and then things start to break down.

 

Stylistically this image is very simple. I like the fact that you have chosen not to have the outermost parrallel line bisect the corners exactly. Having them closer to the center of the top border accentuates the feeling of height that you are trying to achieve with these vertical water columns.

 

Good submission, congrats.

I have to agree with Dominique, DELICIOUS! That is probably the most fitting word for this image. It makes me hungry and at the same time reminds me of a really great Italian meal that I had back home. But the longer I look at the image I get a little disinterested. There are not many elements to hold my attention around the image.

 

Have you tried using a darker colored dye for the blue? I think that if half the ice cube was red and the other half blue with the intersecion line being purple that would look really great. Although it maybe because you have a black background that the blue is not showing up. Maybe lighting it from the underside would let the colors come out. You should try that in your secret PT lab. ;)

 

Anyway, a really good image. I think that the best market for this would be restaurants or a fine dining magazine. Even though it has no direct connection to food it still has an unconcious one.
