Challenge: Clichés and Sayings (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z10
Location: Dining table this time
Date: Apr 28, 2006
Aperture: F/4.8
ISO: 64
Shutter: 1/80
Galleries: Still Life, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Apr 30, 2006

 Well, I think that there will be a lot of other people using this as their overused phrase, but that's ok. I like advanced editing rules much better; I would like to have at least been able to dodge and burn a few choice places, but I suppose I got spoiled with my first challenge entry. I am guessing that this one will score much lower than my first, but we'll see. Also wanted to note that the bowl filled with mostly alphabits was way boring, so I had to bring captain crunch to the rescue.

here's my after challenge try:

You asked for comments on low scores (4 from me). The competency of the picture is fine - it's in focus, well put together, I don't have to squint at it and so on. I guess I'm more than a little hung up on the principle of pictures being visual things and depending on a visual language. Taking a picture of a word (or acronym) spoils that. So there is self fulfilling prophecy in your alphabeti spaghetti there...

yeah, I agree. I was estatic that it finished as high as it did... I was sure that I was going to get pounded with a few things, I'm just wondering what other people saw... (the same stuff as me? or something I didn't notice?)

I love the decisions you made with this.

I would have pushed the brightness just a hair though if it were me.

Great shot. Deserves a place in the DPC hall of fame!

Good one! :) There are some blown highlights there but I think they add to the overall character of the image this time around.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 06:24:25 AM
Yup gotta agree, gave it a 1!!!

Just kidding! :) Like the shot and composition and DOF, just think it could use some more contrast, seems a bit flat as it is.

ROFL and well done too

I'm looking at DNMC wondering what that means & then scrolled down. That made me laugh out loud. Well done.

Hilarious...great shot...and VERY creative...but sorry to say this DNMC IMO...kidd'n
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/06/2006 08:21:17 PM
Hilarious! And DMC. I also like the contrast of the milk with the bowl and the letters with the colored cereal. Nice job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/06/2006 08:12:46 PM
What a collection of colors. Great DOF and sharpness.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/05/2006 08:46:09 PM
You are witty and fun.... so creative and a great photographer as well!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/05/2006 07:55:09 PM
Very creative! Very nice colors and I really like the focus (and how the bowl kinda fades out of focus at the top). One of my favorites of the challenge. Good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/05/2006 07:04:08 PM
Ha! I was hoping someone would use this well-worn cliche...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/05/2006 12:04:38 PM
LOL! Ah yes. :oD Clever.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/05/2006 08:39:34 AM
Very clever. Well excuted. Hope you ribbon.

 05/04/2006 10:15:27 PM
Creative idea on a certain level.

 05/04/2006 07:10:33 PM
LOL - Love it!

Excellent presentation on the challenge subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/04/2006 03:22:29 PM
Sorry this doesnt meet the challenge! :-) Very nicely lit and colored. Very creative as well. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/04/2006 12:26:56 PM
Funny, I had an idea almost exactly like this! Of course I was too lazy to use it...

Think this should place in the Top 20.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/04/2006 09:05:33 AM
Funny and perfectly executed. This is really well thought out, even put a bright colored cereal in the bowl that would really make the spoon stand out from it. Excellent!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/04/2006 06:37:52 AM
LMAo... yeah that IS cliche isn't it :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 06:21:29 PM
Very witty. Maybe DNMC is overused a bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 05:41:08 PM
The most hated cliche of the bunch. Nice work
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 04:58:06 PM
funny. a 9 from me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 04:36:01 PM
Now that is a Cliché we have all heard of. :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 03:21:15 PM
nice image, good exp. compo, etc., and damned funny to boot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 03:13:08 PM
Definitely an "often heard phrase!" I give it a 7 for clever.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 02:03:24 PM
Clever idea and shot. Good one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 01:54:34 PM
1st place!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 01:07:38 PM
Brilliant ... I'm not personally familiar with the phrase (hah!)

I like the choice you made with the cereal base to be colorful and textured. A little more DOF might have made it pop a bit more. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/03/2006 10:28:59 AM
Nice. I'd be interested to see where this ranks. You know since it's not on the cliche web site it must be DNMC. 8.
