Well, in my opinion, this is a very ugly image. BUT it's a very ugly subject, and this was an excellent use for the "spin" challenge. You won hands down in my book. Bring on the OOBIE!!!!

OK first comment, I am not really a fan of this pic, I can see the Political connections fine but the set up for me is wrong. It just seems very flat in appearance, also the light dark divide is very harsh, the vase at the rear of the photo is also misplaced.

I would say i like the thinking behind the shot, your imagine is very good much better than mine and with that and a little time i can see some stunning scores coming your way

Title made the shot. Wondering how many just didn't get the connection?

Okay, Raish, I absolutley love this. I would have given it an 8 or 9 - maybe even a 10 - had I voted. I'm adding it to my favorites so lots of people get to view it (plus it really is a favorite).

I don't know......I understand your artwork here, mocking Pres Bush and all, but this is still a photography contest and I'm not too excited over the composition, color, tones and your use of lighting in regards to your photograph.

Sorry. :(

They look like Ted Rall caricatures. This gets my Brown Ten.

I think it's great that you tried to convey spin in the political sense -- I think you are the only one in the challenge to do that, so points for originality to you. On the other hand it doesn't really say "spin" unless you read the caption. There are a number of technical difficulties, too. The Bush figure seems out of focus, I guess the other figure is supposed to be Condi, but doesn't look like her. She also blends into the background. Is Bush standing on a leaf? Is that symbolic? Let us know!

U-h? Maybe I'm sorry, but I can't see what this is about, neither as a photograph nor as an idea.

there isn't anything in this image that conveys 'spinning' to me ...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/29/2007 04:50:02 PM
IMO...a poor choice. Doesn't really meet criteria, except in title only.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/28/2007 03:12:59 PM
uh?... not sure what to think.

This image is just too strange to say anything about it.

I guess I am missing something because I don't get it.
