Location: Melbourne
Date: Oct 10, 2005

ISO: 100
Shutter: 4 sec
Galleries: Humorous
Date Uploaded: Oct 10, 2005

Crop, usm, selective colour, colour balance, Brightness/contrast, resize, border, usm save for web

Only having the on camera flash I got the background shadows. Because of the first shutter flash, and selective colouring change, they have been minimised. One day I will get a lighting system.

OK, I was never so far from average rating with my highest rated photo. I gave it 10 not because of its pink border or harsh shadow, but because I was involved with such a subtle, emotional and sudden personification of this training mashine (I guess) not to notice weak technical points. Those big innocent eyes, delicate hug of the thing (human side is a bit artificial) - I was completely indrawn. I realy liked it - thank you.

Took me a little while to see the other "person" in this shot. Not sure what she is, some kind of excersize machine maybe?? Good photo.

Ummm, who is doing the dreaming here? Really strange image. I'm thinking I should call the cops, but who is really getting harmed? ;) Strange (as I shake my head). I think you used the 'ghostly' technique well here. I would have liked the color cast to be a little less pink but that's a personal choice.

hahah. it took me a while to get this - it's clever! if you could have avoided casting such a strong shadow on the wall, I'd like it better - but conceptually this is very good.

Took me a moment to see it. Very clever. Interesting use of exposure. Would have prefered to have the backdrop further back to prevent the immediate show outlines of the subject. Well done.
