3rd Photo Contest for 9/28/2007 - WINNER: UrusaiSevera

[GangstaKermit]

Please vote for the photo you feel is the best representation and take on the theme of "Reflection" out of these five finalists.

Composition and camera skill should count for more then post-production/photoshop work, so please vote accordingly ^_^

Poll closes on the 3rd, and congratulations to all the finalists, and thanks to everyone who entered the contest.

When responding here please write a deep comment on the photos, don't spam with random posts like "cool, voted".

I like the fourth picture, I like the plants coming out of the water like that, And the petals on the water are so clean and new. If i had a choice to re-vote it would have been the forth picture.

The first picture is good, But looking like that i think it scares me. lol ^^

I voted for the 3rd picture just because i liked the colors when it was in that size, but then i clicked it, i just like the colors, but not really in that when i saw the cars a bit blurry, But I like the scenery, it's so unexpecting.

And congratsto all the finalists =3

Lols, yeah. I myself thought about that too. My hands were shaking when I shot the photo. Forgot to use anti-blur. >_<

Hmm...again, this theme seems hard for me to vote.
But, I'll choose the first. Hmm...dunno...maybe it intrigues me, though not really creepy. But it does reflect the oppositions of what one sees. Very impressive. ^_^

[Jagan Eye]

It was hard for me to choose but I liked the eye the best. There was depth in the eye, in my opinion and it was really well taken. The reflection in the eye was really cool and it was taken very well.

[Myrra]

That first picture was just too well done for me to not vote for it.
I'm impressed with how he/she managed to catch the reflection so well.

[Anime Forum]

I voted for the first, the reflection was really well captured, would have been more impressive if it was captured outside though.

[Kaitou Ace]

A bit late (again) ^_^;

Good macro work ^_^ I'd have cropped a bit differently (the full eye, from corner to tips of the eyebrow), and I think I liked the outside reflection more than the one in here, but good macro work nevertheless, and certainly a good shot.


2nd Place goes to:

Good colors and composition, and the black frame works well with the gold. Sharpening it a bit would probably help, and this may sound a bit hypocritical on my part, but I think I'd want to see the line be perfectly perpendicular to the bottom frame, as opposed to the angle it's on now.

3rd Place goes to:

Good shot of a guitar. The crop is probably not the best choice though, I think one of the more standard crop resolutions could've produced a more pleasing shot, but it's very good technically, and the black & white works well for it.

Congrats to all ^_^
