It is not acceptable to post a head shot and say the whole body is the subject, in this case the head is the subject and you'll have to show maximum 60% of the head.
After reconsideration head shots will be allowed as being part of the body.
great, it's a lovely photo.
It's a very nice shot... but allowing "head shots" as a close crop is a cop out
the eyes are pretty cool .. extremely cool
Whatever Kyricom - it's your theme suggestion but I remind you that it says the following:
" perform a 'close crop' on a subject of your choice"
perhaps you should of written "perform a 'close crop' on a subject of your choice with the exception of people."
I notice on other headshots you commented that they were cool shots and didn't refer to them as a "cop out"!!
This is a nice shot, but not a close crop (people or otherwise). The cop-out comment was directed towards the mods, not the entrants - sorry if i ruffled some feathers
Even though I can't see the rest of the photo, I am supposing that no matter what, this kids face would be the subject, so really 40 % of this kids face should be cropped. I had mine removed too and had to fix it and I realized afterward what was meant by cropping the subject. I think what the mods are looking for is cropping 40% of the subject or focal point.
Well k5683, the term Close Crop is a form of composition, it doesn't mean that we all get out our Photoshop and chop our pictures until there is only 40% left. In this image I have cropped him closely by placing his eye on the line that would be consistant with the rule of thirds. In my opinion, a little bit more thought has been put into it. I don't normally enter contest themes that degrade the quality of my images, and if I thought that the theme required us to chop it up then the entry wouldn't be here.
I understand what you mean. In fact, I didn't want to crop mine more either I had already cropped the picture as a whole 40% but they wanted me to crop more because the actual "focal point" or subject wasn't cropped. I love this photo and I'm sure it'll do great just because the quality and everything about it is awesome. Who knows what is wanted here sometimes
some get flagged and removed even though others don't that fall under the same situation. Luck of the draw I guess
