Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Immovable (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
Location: Iceland - Reykjavík
Date: Sep 8, 2008
Aperture: f/7.1
ISO: 640
Shutter: 1/50 sec
Date Uploaded: Sep 8, 2008

 The idea is someone trying to move his/her own reflection. There is a large building here in the neighborhood that is made from glass and I thought it would be nice to use that building for this purpose.

I am not making any expectation and just submit for the fun of it and this is the first time I submit for a DPC challenge.

Crop, added contrast and sharpen.

Have you explained that to the site council? Next time, I would make sure you explain that up front... though I would appeal the decision right now. You would think that council would know dates since this is an international site.

This totally sucks! My camera is set for Icelandic time zone and is taken in 8.sept. and that is written 08.09.08, in the USA zone that is written 09.08.08 and therefore is my image taken on 09. August according to them.

Great Idea. Would have preferred if the crop did not cut off the top of his head int eh reflection, and more room at his left foot as well. A square crop may have worked well here

I'm still relatively new to DP but I would be shocked if this does not get a ribbon! Great reflection! Awesome!

I really like the lighting, saturation, and contrast in this one.

If reflection is the theme of the picture, you need less background noise.

a bit to much flash but really good idea

Put a shoulder in to it! Where is the sweat and strain on the model's face from trying to move something immovable? The editing on everything except the model's face looks really good. The face looks pale and blotchy in comparison to the rest of the photo.

Background adds too much distraction,

Nice processing and composistion. I like the reflection but a bit more of a strained look on his face would make it a little more convincing of the topic. 8 from me :)

that is creative.

I like the composition, artistic appeal and colour balance. I hope it was intentional, the lines on wood flooring, shirt and rails just work for me.

Nice photo, one of the better shots in this challenge.

using the reflection as the immovable object is a great idea, I like the processing on this

His face looks a bit blown-out but it's a great shot otherwise.

Could've cropped it a bit tighter to put more emphasis on the guy and the reflection. But I like the lighting and the idea.

Interesting treatment, ominous feel. Cool that both the building and reflection are immovable.

I love this shot. My only wish for this photo, is that the skyline was oriented horizontal to the photograph. But that is a very small detail to make a great photo only slightly better

A tighter crop on top would work better for me
