Challenge: Propaganda (Classic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S50
Location: In a school

Date Uploaded: Nov 18, 2003

 Some kids in school. I wish I could have gotton more of the soda machine in the picture, or that the kids were not wearing red, so I could have highlighted the soda machine by playing around with the saturation. Such bad flourescent lighting. . .
Photoshop: One curves adjustment, and a channel mixing adjustment for the black and white.

That's a great shot. I really like it. Man, what is it spitting out free change or something? They can't be all that hard up for a Coke.

The great coca-cola propaganda box. Nice theme, clever, a bit too posed but I like the black and white, but the red and white of coke are such an icon- and sharpen the focus up a bit.

They all look hooked to me. Could have been a better photo but I think I get your meaning.

It feels more like advertising....

Worshiping at the machine of sugar and cafffine? Funny.I wish you had gotten better resolution - better light. The graininess and the blurr don;t add to this for me.

Has a very gritty feel and I like the motion blur of the first girl in the queue. Could do with more of the Coca-Cola logo in the frame.

not sure this is propaganda, and not commercialization. I like the blur, the look and the photo.

this is a ten, bonus points because you found it, instead of putting it together. more bonus points because it's candid of people, more bonus points because you have several sets of eyes, each doing something different. very good work, way to go.

The message is clear: line up to buy Coca-Cola. Technically, we have a lot of grain and motion blur, but the target audience is also clear. Not bad.

where's the propaganda element?

Nice! The lighting is great, and the image works well in black and white. Good composition: the eye focuses on the persons at first, and then is guided to the coca-cola vending machine. Very dark message, beyond the ad-like surface.

Propaganda? Coke pushing itself on school students? Overall the shot feels like a snapshot, and doesn't give me a sense of what you were going for. 4 -danny
