This is a great idea author but it lacks of presentation.
I think that if you spent a little more time with the composition (setting it up / frame it / lighting) this would be a very good entry.
No offence author!
As i said it's a great idea!!!

Is this a Western Electric Company phone author?
At the bottom of the phone,on the ringer knob has an arrow with the indication " < LOUD > "?
If so...we have the same phone even if we are half the world around!!!

Nice warm colors!

Great DOF.
Love the leading line on the left.
Very good eye author!

A phone book would be more suitable (for the composition IMHO).
You would fill the empty space behind the phone with an item that fits more with your composition,but that doesn't mean that this composition is bad!
Good job author!

Nice DOF.
Did you place the clock on the b/g for a reason or just to "fill" the "blank" of the frame?

Since you came up with this idea (witch is a good one) you should try a little bit more to impress the feeling/mood of a praying girl to God IMHO.
The model"looks" like it's sleeping.
You could use light/shadows (with a flash) to give us the feeling of faith/hope!
This is too flat for my taste.
A nice try no matter what.

Fair enough author...Good luck!!!!

A tighter crop (the knobs only) would be better IMHO.
It would create a colorful repetitive pattern!

R E S P E C T

Back ground (b/g) is whats behind the main subject on your photo!

IMHO the label/brand of the product should be in the main focus on a ad photo.
Colors are great (purple is a little BOH) models pose it very good but i can't see the name DIOR any where...
If i was about to buy this sunglasses i would like to know/see what the brand is.
Of course this is my opinion after all.
GL

A wider frame would be better in this case author.
The b/g is a good choice but the whole composition should be in frame!!!

Put a cigar in to the gun maybe?
This would all so be GREAT in b&w with out the key light (the light in front that lights the lady).
Using only the fill light would create a beautiful silhouette of the lady & gun in a totally black background(mind the light on her face & hands).
Still a nice composition...

The look on her eyes is very funny.
It screams....i am boring!

It's a shame that such a beautiful photo has :
empty windows_4c55da76400d4
as a title!!!!
Nice mood.

Since this is a set up you could include the lower part of the cups dish (just a little wider frame on the bottom).
I like the table lines,they add depth!

I like the cinematic frame & the white leading line on the road.
Very nice use of rule of thirds!

Artistic...

A dead dolphin?

Open PS.
Go to "Image / image rotation / Arbitrary / & set the angle value.Try it & you will see it's quite easy!

Very good entry.
Reminds me a scene from "star wars the empire strikes back" where the aircrafts where fighting in the tunnels of "Dark star".
Light helped a lot!!!

That makes sense author.
It just couldn't be noise!!!

Is that think healthy???

I keep coming on this one cause i can't figure out what is "that thing" that makes the back ground noisy but ONLY on the black part of it!The whole photo is hell sharp (the glass,the white foreground) but as the eye travels to the background (on the black part) there's something that "looks" like noise but it can't be!
Help author...put me out of my misery!

Great D O F !

Yeah....that's very...........V E R Y old man.
When i first saw this i didn't even knew how some one can do something like this...
I remember seen that on pxlshots November maybe December '08...if i am not wrong(please correct me if i am wrong)
Its very nice to have you & your photography back man!!!

wow....

wow...wow...
Calm down boys

waahahahahahahaaaa....
Very funny author...
If you can't afford money for a tripod this is the best idea!!!

I all ready vote very high for this author so please if you be so kind re-shoot so the whole dice is in the frame....this is a fantastic photo!
Bravo!!!!

ade
Sad but true unfortunately

We humans are pigs....

You should place the mirror closer to the board so theres no "gap" between the squares.

Waahahahahahahhahaa
Very funny author...very smart!!!

What lens do you use author?
I think that if the f number is very small (1.4 - 1.8 - 2.8 f.e) you get that effect.Happened to me a few times!
I am not sure about that...i think it has to do with the DOF.

It's a square all right author!
But vignettes are not allowed.

aaahahahahaa!!!!.Hello there wind.
Yes it's me in the beginning thats why i said is not THAT bad.

Great structure / clarity / colors!
Hi vote from me author!!!
From that angle i feel like i am hiding from something...that is the feeling that photo gave me!

One thing for sure is that her eyes are eye catching!!!
Cute little girl author.
She's got attitude

cmon....
is not THAT bad!!!

The choice of the background is not very good (it's a towel)?

Aw...
You crop it too much my friend.
At least the car is gone!
GL.

The background is a little "messy" but cute little girl & make-up author.
Great eyes!

Beautiful.
A whole different world down there!!!

I agree with you my friend
Lets all calm down a bit!

Actually no Locksmagic.
I download this photo & i increase contrast 2 in PS & the chips looks very good (because of their position the light source creates a "border" around them on the spot that chips&background meet,so increasing contrast does the job with out "loosing "the shape of the chips).As for the focus,we don't know what author shoots with so the photo might just be very "low" resolution.
The photo uses the rule of thirds pretty good imho.Placing it "dead center" it would be very "flat".
But then you might be right & i might be wrong.
Just speaking out my mind as everybody else!
Btw author i play poker too (on FB,not with real money)

The right foot of the kid is not in the frame.
Flash is not the best choice here author.
The whole set up could be more "careful" ( with out the distracting things on the background).
If that was your best idea for this contest you should set this up a little more careful (imho).
