I found myself thinking about this photo the other day. I wasn't looking at it. It has happened several times. I enjoy it.

This is such a dramaticly lighted photograph. Absolutely love it. The idea of the bulbs w/the pears is fab. Tone and composition are spot on. Very create - I really like this!

Yet another victim of the DNMC police. Great shot, though IMO it's less creative and surprising as your other shots.

oh oh., that makes them related. DNMC DNMC DNMC., lol JK. This photo definately met the challenge. At least on the Deep End of the Lake.

I think this should have done better.

Edit to say: I had this pegged for blue

Nice play on words and image

Wow, how wonderfully surreal... the minimal lighting enhances the image.

Like it! In German, a lightbulb is a Glühbirne, literally a "glow-pear". :^)

Great shot, but maybe I'm too hung up on "exactly two objects".

Nice idea, good light, well captured.

Has the dnmc police visited this image? Well, I see only pears and bulbs and that equals two. Pluraity is artistically excused. Bumping to 8 to offeset the object counters.

Probably the coolest entry in the challenge. You've made an excellent connection between pears and light bulbs. 10

Wonderful mix of items that make up a unique still life. It works ! My only critique would be the lighting. Very nice photo and composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/02/2006 04:10:47 PM
there are more than two objects in this composition.

Title 10, Comp 10, Detail 10, Crop 10, Exposure 10
What's to say? This is a great shot. Classic with a modern, techo-twist. Perfect sync with the challenge, too.

I'm curious if you've gotten a comment like this - 'This is DNMC, the challenge is gather exactly two objects that are totally unrelated' - I got a comment like that on my photo. Your photo has pears, lightbulbs AND a plate - I guess that's 3 objects. However, I find your photo quite acceptable and very nice on top of that. Good luck to ya!

Sorry, this is a really nice shot but for me it's DMC "Gather exactly two objects..."

 10/02/2006 09:12:49 AM
The lightbulbs have stems! YAY!

Exactly two objects?
