DOCILE PIECES of CEDAR
by timganier

This shot is awesome.. a rare instance where the effect used really improved the shot and doesn't come out looking cheesy. The composition and feeling of depth is impressive as well. However, in my opinion the band name is downright horrid. Certainly seems like an attempt to fit the shot into the challenge. (The lousy pun hit single also would have been better left out.) Regardless of that, this was a pretty open challenge so I'm more interested in the photo than the rest, and the photo is great.

I love the idea here. One of the most creative concepts in the challenge. The shots is crisp and professional looking as well. The band name might be a little bit of a stretch, but a lot of real band names are pretty bizarre, so I could imagine it being real. Great work.

I like your idea here but for some reason the result rubs me the wrong way. I'm not exactly sure what it is though. I think maybe the multiple hand captures don't really seem to convey a sense of motion to me as much as a bunch of hands being held still at different heights. Maybe just having fewer hand captures, say three, that were a little more spread out and not overlapping as much would make me like it more. Anyway, a great idea and I certainly wouldn't say the execution is bad on it either, I just get the feeling that I could be drawn into this so much more than I am. Sorry I can't quite put my finger on how though.

The desaturated foreground with just a hint of color showing in the background was an excellent choice here. The effect works great. In fact, the sharp close up foreground with the blurred player in the background works well too. I'm not sure the text matches the tone of the shot though.

The band name doesn't appeal to me much, but the photo has a great quirky feel to it, and I think you chose text that worked well with that.

The band name is believable and pretty likable. The photo is wonderful. Colors, idea, and composition are all excellent. Nice work.

I really like this photo a lot. The tones are strong, the expression/emotion comes through well. It's interesting and would both attract attention and be memorable. Unfortunately I think your band name is rather unrealistic. It's not really catchy, cool, or easy to remember, so I can't imagine an actual band using it. Of course, I'm more interested in the photo than the name. Great work on the whole. 9

I really like this. The band name is not only believable but somewhat likable. The photo is crisp, amusing, memorable, fits stylisticly with the band name, and functions well compositionally as an album cover. Great work.

Looks like it was horizontally compressed to make it square, although I could be wrong.

The band name is absolutely horrid (in my opinion) but this shot makes for a good album cover that I think would work well.
