3 Glass shadows by Mark J
Nice lighting of a "standard" shot through the curtains. This has
been done 11 billion times to the 17th power but not all handle the
lighting as well as this.
3 Sun Flower by Bernard Maltais
I actually like this better than the "thinking" one but it needs
some reflected light on the flowers. A bit too dark.
4 Thinking by Bernard Maltais
Done many times, but when the opportunity presents itself the shot
must be taken. It's asking to be done. Too bad a catchlight in the
eyes from a........whatever wasn't there.
Eligible Honorable mention
Disney Concert Hall by Jeff Aragaki
Bound by shadows by Mark J
For some reason I like the Glass shadows better even though I
believe in the keep it simple concept which this one follows more
closely.
Her True Colors by Mark Hensley
Ok, I like cats!Different angle and a bit less clutter so the
eye wasn't drawn from the subject.
Light and Shadows by Vikas
Very, very nice studio shot. I'd give it a 5 for studio work but
feel it exceeds the control that the majority of other challengers
have in their possession and is therefore putting others at a
disadvantage. Falls in line with the idea that voters should
determine whether or not too much darkroom work was being used.
Exhibition Gallery
4 False Adobe
Excellent use of shadow (the subject of this ballgame) to be a
prime part of the composition. Causes me to ponder and also imagine
where this might be.
3 Whirlpool of Shadows by Mark J
Good job but makes me want to see the light setup to arrange this
shot differently. Perhaps different treatment of the shadows in
Photoshop?
3 Moon Shadow by Mark J
Not a lot to say. Is the blue from purposely altered white balance?
Either in camera or out.
Honorable Mention
Hayfield by Teapot
Man's Best Friend by Robert
Inner Sanctum by theblue
Sphix by Steve Huff
In my Room by iso3200

Many thanks Victor,
I have never seen the movie, but browsing thru those shots it looks
like I am missing a vital movie from my collection. I understand
that this film created a big stir when it was first released.
There is very much the same kind of feeling in those movie shots as
I tried to give Unreal. My son has a whole box full of action men
(about 30 of them i think), so I might try to see if I can get a
something from a whole host of them. It's funny I never thought
that a toy could pull off the kind of responce i have got for this
pic.
cheers
rob
