I'm interested how you got this picture.
08/23/2002 05:41:00 PM
extremely original idea...wish this had been zoomed out a bit and maybe on a solid backdrop. Lisa

This is a creatively excellent photo :) The concept works nicely.. I would love to hear how you did this shot after the challenge :) - jmsetzler

This is one of my favorite 3 for this week. I'm still wondering how you achieved it. I would have chosen a black background rather than the green carpet. Why did you crop out so much of the pencils in the bottom? The ghostly pencils on the wood block are very cool.

Neat idea. This looks like a shutter speed trick. But I'm not hugely educated on that, I'm guessing only by other photos I've seen similar. The concept behind this is great with the "chip off the ol block" theme. Very clever. I also like how you got the pencils lined up both on the block and the floor. The block seems unnaturally orange, which makes it look like the color has been messed with, but then again, maybe the block really is that color. Who am I to judge when I've never see that block before. Great job with this. Good luck in the challenge.

Intriguing.....Please tell us how tis was done
08/21/2002 08:18:00 PM
the composition is muddy... not really sure what I'm looking at or what I'm supposed to be looking at.
08/21/2002 04:42:00 PM
Very interesting and well executed shot.
08/20/2002 08:49:00 PM
very cleverlydone..reverse reflections? good concept and execution
08/20/2002 01:41:00 PM
I love the texture in this. The detail (reflection?) at the bottom feels too low in the frame. I'd either like it higher or not at all. How did you do this effect? I am dying to know!

08/20/2002 11:02:00 AM
Now thats something. I like this. 8 -lennier
08/20/2002 04:59:00 AM
I think I like this but I'm wondering exactly HOW you got this effect without use of filters or special effects? Mirrors, maybe? I find it hard on the eyes, but makes me keep looking to try to figure it out.
08/20/2002 03:27:00 AM
A very creative idea! Colours seem a little strong and the reflections at the bottom right are a little confusing.
08/19/2002 08:08:00 PM
I really like how you id this - the transparaency - maybe a tutorial is in order
08/19/2002 06:02:00 PM
How did you do this effect - a glass sheet? Whatever it is, it's a great idea and it works well.
08/19/2002 03:12:00 PM
Meets Challenge Theme:oh yeah!

08/19/2002 10:36:00 AM

08/19/2002 10:17:00 AM
Interesting effect
08/19/2002 08:05:00 AM
I had to look at it a long time, but I like it.
08/19/2002 06:16:00 AM
I am oh, so curious about this shot! Very creative and interesting. lhall
08/19/2002 06:12:00 AM
Excellent idea! Good work!
08/19/2002 04:08:00 AM
Very odd photo. It's a bit too grainy.
08/19/2002 02:30:00 AM
This is a really good idea. The base of the picture is a little confusing on the eye (I think) but, other than that, it's OKâ€Â¦
08/19/2002 01:10:00 AM
I like the picture but don´t the bottom where the pencils meets I think a "crop" so you only can see the No2 in the OFFICEMATE pencil had done better at least in my case. -rocco22-
