interesting concept. focus issues.

a little fuzzy but neat concept!

This would've had to be ultra-crisp to work. Great idea though

she seems to be having too much fun for milk gone sour
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i wouldn't hang this on my wall--but good capture
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i feel the focus is too soft here. the model's face appears as if she's staging the action, rather than the action being a reaction to the condition suggested by the title. otherwise, i think the composition and backgrounding would have worked. 4

cool idea, but she looks like she's expecting it, and of course its very soft
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Your camera has focued on the wall behind the girl, instead of on her face...

Your idea is dramatic, though, & your model (who must have had a big ol' mouthful of milk) has done an excellent job of spewing it out!

If she would have had a sour look on her face rather then trying to concentrate on where the milk was going, this would have been an AWESOME shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Would have been a better shot if the girl's face was in focus...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/27/2005 03:18:37 PM
not in focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/27/2005 07:54:50 AM
The camera seems to have focussed on the rips in the wallpaper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/26/2005 08:18:29 PM
Alittle more in focus would have been better. Great capture. If I were you, I would try it again sometime. Could be a good stock photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/26/2005 07:59:15 PM
too bad the face is blurry
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/26/2005 06:00:26 PM
The concept and rendition are very attractive. A tighter focus would have raised the overall cpmpetitative edge. A great oral spill. Bumping up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/26/2005 12:19:03 PM
Would have been better if she was in focus instead of the background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/26/2005 11:48:29 AM
great idea and composition, though the focus being on the background seriously detracts from this image... if the focus were correct, this would get at least a 7 from me, but as it is, it's a 5.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/26/2005 10:27:33 AM
Focus is on the back wall. If you could have got it on her face, it'd be a lot better!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/26/2005 04:51:24 AM
Interesting idea. Personally, I would have liked to see the subject more in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 11:19:04 PM
This would be more insteresting if it were in focus. Nice effort.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 10:41:20 PM
soft focus isn't doing this image benefit. would have been fairly nice with crisp clear focuus on the model.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 08:12:16 PM
The background is well focused, but I think it would have been better to have the focus on the subject. Reminds me of a David Letterman Show outtake.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 11:14:31 AM
This would have been great, but it is blurred. Great idea, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 10:46:27 AM
Kinda gross... and the focus is off
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 07:42:51 AM
interesting shot, but out of focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 06:28:52 AM
very fuzzy
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 04:52:31 AM
Kind of gross, but a unique take on the challenge. Had the "spew" and model been more in focus I would have scored it higher.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2005 03:41:09 AM
Good idea, pity that the girl isn't sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 10:15:26 PM
Subject matter and action isn't very appealing to look at. It's out of focus, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 07:56:38 PM
not worth criticism if you actually hit the submit button. if it were in focus, it'd be a 2.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 07:21:19 PM
DOF is very off. Background is in focus...subject is not
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 02:42:17 PM
Cool photo! This is exactly how I'd react to sour milk! A great photo! Well done, and I hope you finish in the top 5!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 02:41:34 PM
IMHO focus should have been on the girl and the milk. Possibly used a faster shutter speed and/or flash to stop the milk inflight? 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 01:36:04 PM
Out of focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 09:58:07 AM
too blurry, the focus is on the wall behind and would be much better on the girl/milk
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 09:35:42 AM
Neat idea, but it's way out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 09:03:40 AM
Fun idea! She needs to be in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 06:10:11 AM
She should be more focused.. great idea though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 05:36:52 AM
Good concept, poor execution.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 05:24:41 AM
This'd be great if it were in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 05:13:17 AM
Good idea, bad focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 04:47:03 AM
Focus would have scored this one *much* higher. Good idea, subpar execution...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 03:48:25 AM
focus appears off to me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 01:45:38 AM
Yucks. And out of focus, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/23/2005 11:57:24 PM
interesting idea but it is slightly out of focus. Also considering the title her facial expression should be one of disgust not what it is here. Sorry if that is harsh.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/23/2005 10:23:07 PM
Focus could be better. Thats nasty LOL
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/23/2005 08:11:44 PM
I think this would have been an awesome picture if only the girl's face were more in focus. Two possibilities here: 1) the camera focused on the wall (see how it is sharper?), or 2) you might have been too close to the girl and so you couldn't get a focus on her and the wall was the best the lens could get.
