I really like the depth of field usage in #1, #6 would have gotten my vote if it was just a bit more in focus.

skysidhe · 02-17-2010, 09:27 PM

I and 5 are very nice but 4 looks like a commercial print.

TheMercenary · 02-18-2010, 09:43 PM

Crayons just had the best combination of color and macro. Well done.

glatt · 02-19-2010, 07:29 AM

Yeah, I voted for the crayons because they are very colorful and the composition is pretty good. I almost didn't enter the macro contest because I knew I couldn't beat the crayons, but I thought my needle in a record groove was pretty cool too, and it captures the essence of a bygone era. Getting that shot was a bear.

Shawnee123 · 02-19-2010, 07:34 AM

It was a tough choice, as they all are, but something about the needle pic fascinated me.

Pico and ME · 02-19-2010, 07:58 AM

Hmmm, I didnt know that was a picture of a needle. I still cant tell what it is...it looks a little bent up and rusty to me.

Shawnee123 · 02-19-2010, 08:10 AM

That's why I liked it. It makes you look at something you've seen all your life (if you're, ahem, of a certain age) and look at it in a different way. Art.

The "rust" is a reflection of the yellow/orange plastic Audio Technica stylus housing.

Pico and ME · 02-19-2010, 08:19 AM

Wow. Ok, now Im really impressed with that picture. Shoot and I cant change my vote.

glatt · 02-19-2010, 08:24 AM

Thanks! I still think the crayons look better.

classicman · 02-19-2010, 10:06 AM

I lost the perspective on that - now that you explained it, it is a very good shot.

lumberjim · 02-19-2010, 12:33 PM

I thought jinx would win this one. Her shot has real depth, crystal clarity on the focus object, and a cool back story.

jinx · 02-19-2010, 01:17 PM

And Jim ate the crayons after he took the pic...

...and now there's a circular rainbow swirl pattern in the toilet bowl.
