Great idea, but would have been better if there were a big line of people. Sonifo Vote 5

Too much negative space. Perhaps a little bit more cropping and contrast adjustments.

Needs more 'intense' showing of large audience gathered.

Enh...could have worked a LOT better if there were a lot more people in line

i hate it when i shuffle around for my keys and put my head on the top of the car then get in the car without thinking about it and drive off only my head's still up there riding around and i look like idiot until finally somebody waves at me in traffic and points and i remember and feel like a dope. lost a cup of coffee like that the other day, spilled all down the roof and kinda ruined the paint.

Good concept, but the cars are distracting and the crowd is small for the movie of the year.

Oh Cute. Movie of the year. A little closer would be nice.

The top half of this shot doesn't really add much. Maybe a closer shot with excited moviegoers in line would have worked better. A trick I learned is that a few people can look like a large crowd if you stand close to them... The empty part of the sidewalk doesn't tell your story, so why have it? Move up to the folks on line and shoot them gathered around the counter getting tickets :) ~ MyQyl ~

In my opinion, there is simply too much "stuff" in this picture for it to convey what I think you wanted it to. If your town is like mine, it may have been the only movie marquee available, but if not, I think it would have been worth it to find another one, that didn't have so much "busy" stuff around it. karmat

Too bad there wasn't a bigger line! =D Good photo.

A few too many distractions (cars, for example) to be effective. I may have tried getting almost underneath the sign and included it and the people in line.

Notice the cars more than the movie name. Not much of a line for the movie of the year.
11/25/2002 11:36:00 AM
Hey fun idea. Good shooting, good thinking!! Justine

With headlines that say Movie of the Year, I think there is too much car in the photo.
11/25/2002 06:07:00 AM
The photo is a little too busy. It's hard to focus on the real subject.
11/25/2002 04:54:00 AM
Good concept but the photo is too busy with no main focus point.

IMO the relationship between the title and picture are key elements in this challenge.

IMO the relationship between the title and picture are key elements in this challenge. Sure would have been nice to have a line of moviegoers stretched around the corner.

the car is far too distracting, as is the person looking at the camera (these things probably couldn't of been helped), but the picture would of had a lot more impact had there been a big queue of people outside the theatre.. doesnt really work that well.. sorry 4 marksimms

good movie. Wish you could have gotten more of the long lines of the sold out shows.

Robert Capa once said "If you photos arent good enough, your not close enough"
11/24/2002 07:23:00 PM
Good idea, I would love to see more people and less cars though. DPz
