clever set up
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This begs the question, how'd they do that! A lot of attenton to deails here, lovely gradiation on the background. The shadows are crip, yet the overall lighting mood is soft. Can't wait to read the details behind this one.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:25:32 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 09:43:38 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 07:59:51 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 07:12:17 AM

tighter crop better IMO, nicely executed, 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:03:56 PM
cool idea but u can see the cloning out of whatever was holding the tacks...neat idea...just needs better execution...5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:19:13 PM
Interesting shapes and shadows!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:13:24 PM
Very cool! curious what it would look like with a little more contrast. I think I'd crop it in a little tighter, also. all the space at the top and sides doesn't add that much.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 02:36:26 PM
Cant wait to hear how u did that - great
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:47:37 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:43:35 PM

And well balanced.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:25:11 PM
I don't remember who shot it, but I do remember this shot. Still as pondering to me as ever. I do like that and the dynamics of the shot.

great composition, and light, very nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Neat. Simple but effective. Your background looks a bit noisy, maybe just because of the shallow DOF. A nice job.
