 I am currently down in Florida visiting and these are my lovely parents who decided to play along for a 10 second setup and shot for my brilliant idea.

The light on the foot was unavoidable. I am pleased with the end result well enough.

I really like the lighting in this shot. And the pink shirt really pulls it all together. Nice job.

I like the light and the angle
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is good; I love the composition and the position of the models. The brightness of the colors is slightly distracting though.

I like the lighting of the overall picture, with the exception of the line cutting across his foot.

Like the lighting. Nicely done. Totally believable!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That is so true! If you wanted to add more realism here you should have had her smack dab in the middle of the bed because they also take up more room.

I absoltuely love this pic. One of the few original ones! The light on the man's foot kinda throws me off though...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool perspective and I like the funky colors & lighting. Back to bump you up to 8.

Very good concept, but I'm not sure if I like the end result. My recommendations would be to almost entirely burn out everything around the bed because it is very distracting from the image. Also I would burn out the strip of light going across the foot of the bed. Next I would also recommend using a diffusion effect on photoshop to soften the image.

This is one of my favorites for this challenge because it is just too true in my home! My poor hubby shivers the night away, if he manages to stay on the bed - I am a confessed blanket and bed hog!

Color and frame both work well here. I like the crop too, only nit-picking is the light across the bottom of the shot (open door?) Second time aroun, bumping up to a 9.

She may have the blankets, but I am sure he will get her back with his snoring!!!:o)
Good idea for this topic.

Hang on, it's the other way round for me....

I like the concept but I don't like the processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/15/2007 08:37:30 AM
A great use of unique concept. Great lighting and image quality. Distortion of image adds tot he interest level. A bit too blue overall and a few jaggies from sharpening. Still I'd give it a 3rd place finish.

I really like the softness and colors here, the streak of light coming in on the bed at the bottom right is a bit destracting but its such a great idea and it was well executed!

 01/15/2007 01:20:03 AM
that's a good one! I wish the bed was more centered... 7

Hilarious! Terrific subject, I can relate :) A bit too dark around the sides, especially on the left.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/14/2007 07:20:19 PM
Nice concept, and the color also looks really nice. The pink contrasting the blue brings your eye over to the guy with no blankets. One of my favs of the challenge.
