Challenge: Tilted Horizon (Basic Editing)
Camera: Sony DSLR-A200
Date: Feb 17, 2009
Date Uploaded: Feb 17, 2009

 Instead of the first mentioned meaning of horizon (earth meets sky), I took this shot from the perspective/definition of horizon as:

"range of perception or experience d: something that might be attained " "Merriam Webster"

The book IS a dictionary which is representative of seeing 'new horizons', the glasses are the 'range of perception' and in terms of the meaning of horizon being a background thing, the back of the book, meeting the background is a horizon as well.

The book is tilted, (stuffed a piece of folded paper under several pages to tilt it) the glasses are tilted and the point of view of the book is tilted. :)

Post Challenge:

I loved the comments that I got because even though it was seen as a DNMC (and I can see why), the comments were aimed at the photo itself and not just a DNMC comment. I'm especially thankful for the scores in the 5 to 10 range and quite pleasantly surprised because I really just went with what I wanted to put in this time and what I felt had meaning to me. It seems that many understood that and I thank you all!

I wrote a comment and it never posted - how annoying! I have to say that I did not get a sense of tilt from the book. Maybe because the area before the book is so dark? For me, there is no reference horizon that would give me a clue about the position of the book. I can see where the glasses are at a slight angle but it just makes me think of one of those books that are hard to keep closed. I like the yellowish sepia-tone color - makes me think of one who is trying to read in the dark using only candlelight.

Nicely executed but without the title I'd have thought it was in the wrong challenge.

"...submit a shot with a TILTED horizon used effectively."

I don't see a horizon at all... But, anyway, I'd like to see either more or less of the glasses. Cropping them there looks like an accident to me.
