It's quite common for my favorite to win to come up short, and a photo that makes me think "it's 'OKAY' but not ribbon worthy" to win.
Them's the breaks... congrats on the red. |

Pat yourself on the back for taking a kick-butt shot that was hailed as superb by many, and, please, quit whining. |
Quit whining? Or quit having an opinion? And as far as "familiar technique" that's quite an understatement. |

Thanks to all who voted for me. I'm slightly discouraged that the old "shoot any object behind a plate of glass with water drops" routine hasn't got old for more people. Sorry to sound like a sore loser. I'm still grateful for my first ribbon.
I had a few people ask about the setup. It's on a large cyc wall, about 25ft wide, 20ft deep, 25ft high. (one of many benefits of working for a commercial photographer) Key light to left of model was a Profoto strobe in a 6ft octa softbox. Background was two more strobes with umbrillas.

Congrats Justin, my favorite of the challenge. I gave it a 10, it really caught my attention when I browsed through them. Unfortunately it was the only one I voted on, never got around to going back. :-) Glad to see you in the top 3!
Oops!! Sorry it was a 9 ... but it should've been a 10 ;-)

Got robbed by an image that was far more suited to be in a 60's challenge.
THIS.. this is ultimate 70s. good job. |

03/01/2005 03:35:12 AM |
I give my 10 to this picture, but would be more for the presentation/quality of the picture, and not so much for the 70´s idea.. I dont know maybe that sofa was typical in the 70´s (in USA?). the only thing I see more 70´s is the shirt, how it is open and how it is stretching in the belly :P
The pants should be more with the bell factor (not sure what termin you use in english, but... those more wide and pointy at the feet)
Anyways... 10 ;) |

| very clean very cool. good colors. Maybe wouldn't have had he subject look at the camera. Makes it a little too personal perhaps. |

| I love the simple approach... my fav so far and I almost done, 10 |
|
|
|
02/27/2005 05:43:52 PM |
| The boots, the bell bottoms, the fabrics/colors and the attitude are all exquisitely 70's. Nicely done. |
|
|
|
02/27/2005 12:52:46 PM |
| This really says 1970's to me. I like the minimalist backdrop and set. I wish the model had a pair of platform shoes! |

| Excellent compositoin. Love the line the guy makes. Also like the contrast between the subject and the background. The simplicity works. |

02/26/2005 09:16:37 AM |
| Great photo, really get the feel of the kicked back 70's |

02/26/2005 07:54:18 AM |
Finally, an original shot. I was getting a little sick of all the pictures of records and lava lamps. Very nice pic. I like the composition (with the guy left of center).

Stunning. I love the texture and color of the couch. The complimenting colors of the model's clothing is so warm. I also like the simplicity of the composition and neutral background in contrast to the subject.
The only thing I can be picky with is the lower right floor shadow...still gets a 10 though. |

| Is that Lenny Kravits? (don't know how to spell his name). Plush was very much 70's, you just need a green or orange shag carpet on the floor and you got it. Good luck |

| I just know this is going to get the blue... Great work separating the background from the main character. Strong composition, but kinda gives the illusion of the horison not being straight. |
