| I have to disagree with many of the comments, I find this to be poorly composed. There are many better photos in this challenge in my opinion. But thats only my opinion. |

I think this movie one was a twist, inspired on "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1956) from Alfred Hitchcok, with James Stewart and Doris Day.

It is really a very well composed image, and right on with the challenge. No doubt, a well deserved blue!
BTW, I think you broke a record here, a BLUE on a very first challenge entry! Congratulations. |

| This one I had to stare at for awhile when voting. Was wondering why all those books got dumped in there. Excellent capture and congrats on the blue! |

As we say in Yiddish, it's a Shanda. (sin)
I hate when people throw away books.

Thanks for your votes and comments, everybody!
I agree that I should have included the entire container in this shot.
While walking on the balcony surrounding my college's library, I leaned over the handrail and saw the book-filled dumpster from pretty much the same point of view you see in my photo.
This was on the last day of the submission period for this challenge and by the time my model showed up, the sun was already beginning to set (stupid daylight wastings time). The pressure kept me from concentrating, so this was the best shot I ended up with. Still work though, I think.
I'm happy to give those books some final appreciation. Seems like such a waste to toss them, doesn't it? They were mostly outdated physics textbooks, but still.
I know what you guys mean about me winning with my very first entry. Sorry!

I hate it too (when newcomers win ribbons without 'paying their dues'). Actually, I don't, but even if I did there's a glimmer of justice in the world because this is far and away the best entry in the challenge and the ribbon is properly merited.
Congratulations and thanks for entering. |

This is genius. I'm a little sad about all the paper that was ruined to make this shot, but the composition and thought behind this makes it worth it.
Well done! |

| OK, bumping this from a 7 to an 8, would of like to see a better BW conversion, but its a good idea & where the hell did you find a dumpster full of books like that? |
|
|
|
11/24/2007 05:00:05 AM |
| I'd been hoping to find something in this challenge to keep me awake and your little ditty did the job. Like it. Amazing to spot a dead person in a skip full of books like that. Amazing. |

Technicals: 2/2
Composition: 1/2 - crop is loose at top, tight at bottom; higher POV would have been better (difficult, I can imagine)
Challenge Relation: 2/2
Originality/Creativity: 2/2 - outstanding idea!
Overall Impact: 1/2
8 - one of my top picks in this challenge |

| That's cool. I think if you cropped away the sides and left the container only, it would be a little more perfect. |
