nice idea, like the intense background colors and blur...6.

the colors are so vibrant, i like the idea of having the plug in focus. The plug seems to have a cold white light source hitting it-detracts a bit from warm background. Nicely composed though.

Phenomenal colors and lighting, as well as composition. Very eye-catching. I suspect this will do very well in the challenge. 10

Nice photo - dull concept (sorry)

i'm sure there's something here.. i'm just not sure what it is.. interesting abstract.. focus might have been sharper on the plug with the colorful background out of focus.. interesting concept on the challenge..

Love the colored spotlights. Although the DOF you've chosen works great for drawing attention to the plug, there's ALOT of 'stuff' going on in the background: headphone's cords, headband, earspeakers PLUS all their accompanying shadows. It made it difficult at first to figure out what WAS that thing in the background. Since the background is so VERY blurred, it could really benefit from "less is more' perhaps, allowing the viewer to quickly make out a cleaner outline/shape of the headphones. A more 'generic' looking/readily recognizable pair of headphones? Of course, that's only MY opinion. ;) Good work.

The background is really bright and distracting, I like the idea behind this though.

This looks very good, but it does have an artificial quality to it.

Best of this chosen subject. Great use of color here.
03/04/2004 04:55:22 PM
yes but noisy color. pastels would have worked better for me.

Love the colors...
03/03/2004 06:39:48 AM
the fuzziness and the colors in the background sort of give me a headache...I like the idea, but the difference in composure between the primary and secondary subjects are too extreme for me.
03/03/2004 04:44:47 AM
Great use of colors! I especially like the black plug against the colors. My only suggestion is that perhaps the headphones could be just a little bit more in focus. I had to think about what they were instead of instantly seeing the picture. Score: 8

Nice image.... I like the colors and shallow DOF
