You know I looked at this and looked at it, and decided that you had cloned the reflected parts in. Came back the next day and looked again and it was as plain as day that it was a reflection. Great shot and presentation.

Well, you succeeded in creating an illusion. Good job!

NICE! I could tell right away how you did this and I have to say that it's prefectly executed. Good work.

Very cool idea. Too bad it isn't the advanced challenge so you could clone out the strings :-) Also, maybe I would try to reduce the glare.

Fun and interesting..

This is a really cool composition. But, difficult to discern a focal point.

I bet you're crazy that you can't do any cloning, eh? What a great idea. I feel attacked.

I love the offbeat feel of this shot. Also the inversion (I believe) of the original gives it an interesting unfamiliar feel.

Love the uniqueness of this. Great job. I tried a macro of a screw but couldn't get the DOF right. Maybe next time I'll try this technique.

Interesting and different. I like it. I like the different colors of the screws and the 3-dimensional look to the composition

Very clever idea. Excellent use of light and color.

I certainly like your theme here. The different sizes and colors on the screws keep my eye exploring the image. And your placement - while random - they are placed parallel to each other which keeps they eye moving well through the frame. The focus isn't sharp on any of them - which detracts from an otherwise excellent entry.

Wonderful image, gives a real feeling of them dropping. I'll be really interested to see how you did this, I hope you have it in your comments. Well done.

Really clever idea. Too bad you couldn't hide the strings better. Great photo.

where did u lost the focus? the light tricked you.. pay more attention!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very nice. Like the composition. think a less reflective surface might have been better? Very different, makes me like it more.

great effect
  Photographer found comment helpful.

good idea, I like the upside down, but maybe better is the screws were falling more "straight" down, if you follow me. Focus could be sharper.

Cool idea, I like it. Focus could be a bit better, and maybe a less harsh light.

Charge blasters, shoot to kill.

This could have been a good photo, but it looks over processed which spoils it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/10/2004 03:47:49 AM
Nice idea, although this is out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/10/2004 02:55:44 AM
Very cool idea, looks over-sharpened.

Great idea!

this is really nice. think i'm going to try it myself. ;)

The strings and the noise reduction just kills this image.

Great effect! It really looks like they're flying down from the sky.
