I think this could work really well with the challenge, but looks a bit like a kid's toy, just made out of one piece of plastic, and in this way may have worked better if you made the set yourself.
I think it needed a little more sharpness, and perhaps a slight wider angle - not sure tbh as it doesnt really "grab" me, and even after looking at your original& perspective, I'm still not entirely sure what I'm looking at. Sorry! (As a kinda excuse, I've only ever seen monster truck rallies on the Simpsons! :P) |

hello again,
my whole problem with this one is the effect you have added. i think the cars in the flood is great..... B&W is great.... just not that fuzzy stuff. lol.

I would like to have seen this be a bit sharper. I like the idea a lot and the composition is good. B&W is a good choice given the subject matter. I would have given this a 5 if I had been able to vote. It's just to blurred for my taste. |

| Trading Post - Interesting to see them in color and with more of a true perspective. I did think it was just odd noise that was contaminating the shot. Anyway, the shot left me a bit flat. The shadows seemed a bit harsh and the texture was not pleasing to me. Overall the shot didnt hold much interest for me. In challenge I figured it was just really bad postprocessing and voted according to that. Very tough challenge to rate as the pics were meant to leave one feeling down. |

This feels very desolate! Definitely works well in B&W. The color version is kinda cool, too, but this is definitely more suited to the challenge. I like overall composition - can't see anything I'd change on it. Technically I suppose some might want it a bit sharper, but I like it soft - gives it a dreary feel, which is pretty much what I think you were after. Really should have scored higher. |

| I'm not sure how I feel about the overall look of this. it's a cool concept and may have been better with more realistic coloring. not totally realistic but a happy medium. |

| I have no idea how this was done, or what it is meant to depict. Does it depict "Desolation"...Possibly, but I do not believe this will score all that well. Good luck to you. |

Okay, here goes. I gave you a 7 (one of the few I did rate). And I was going to comment but I had to eat. I so love the surrealness of this image. And I love that, while its in black and white, it doesn't look like a black and white image. I don't know how to explain that but trust me.
Why it isn't scoring well? You have to ask? DPC craves the bright and shiny. This is neither - lose 2 points for that. DPC prefers simple - this isn't that - lose another point. DPC likes vibrant color - none here - there goes another point. DPC wants a vision that requires no interpretation and if it does require one that it doesn't detract from the feel good moment - minus one for missing that. Where are we at? 5? Add in the number of people that are scoring you down for does not meet challenge and your score should reside between 4.3 and 5.3. Am I close?
So, why did I give you a 7 and not anything higher? My scoring allows 2 for meet challenge, 4 for technicals, 4 for emotion. I gave you 4 for emotion, 1 for meeting challenge, 2 for technicals. The contrast isn't as high as I'd like it and the point of view and focus are slightly off and the cars look a little bit fake. But its a really cool image. :) |

| This does say desolation quite well. The tone used is effective. |

| Don't know what I'm looking at here, it could be kids toys in a puddle or full size cars in a pond? The post processing really does it no favours. |
