Challenge: Fruits and Vegetables II (Advanced Editing V)
Collection: goofy/spooky
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

 This is intended to be a sort of tribute to Giuseppe Arcimboldo (//www.abcgallery.com/A/arcimboldo/arcimboldo.html) whose work I adore. I really wanted to do something more complicated, but the veggies would not cooporate. I tried to give this an oil painting feel. Lemme tell you, it's just gotta be easier with paint!

The lighting and color on this is just wonderful.
The joke is the frosting on the cake.

The figure you created is exceptional and I gave bonus points for the creativity. I think I'd liked to have seen just a bit more light on this, though. He's actually kinda cute... (OK, OK, it's been decades since I've had a date..)

Such a funny face. I think this is great. You created a very attractive classic still life with a hidden joke in it.

I really loved the face in this one, especially the mouth! I gave this a 7 in voting. It would have been higher except for it being so dark. Though that might have been what you were going for. I really expected this to place higher.

You are starting to rival Raish for the OOB shots. Maybe he's the king and you're the queen. The face is great in this shot. I like the nice dark contrasting background. I really thought this should have scored better.

The effect is too dark and red-toned. Hardly looks like veggies.

Heh, very cute and creatively done! Reminds me of some of the works of the italian painter, Giuseppe Arcimboldo 1527- 1593. This little man is made up of all sorts of veggies. My critique lies in the lighting. I appears too dark on my screen. Portions of the Dunce fade into shadow such that some of the outlines of the individual vegetables get lost in the shadows. Either more lighting was needed to better illuminate the vegetable man OR selective editing to either gamma correct or up the brightness/contrast levels.

Cool composition. Dark, though.

Very nice - maybe a bit too dark - otherwise good job

Wow. Good are, but slightly too dark, even for an intentional low key.

quite dark on my monitor ... cute idea though ... just wish it was slightly brighter

Cute idea. Wish the veggies were a touch more vibrant (not much). Great composition.
