This has to be the most imaginative entry I've seen.
I give you a clue – turn the number of the entry upside down, back to front or inside out, it’ll stay the same.

WAP! :bow

    Thanks for the correction Brett. You are right, I got the number wrong. I meant the one before that - Pizza Delivery.

    Yea thats a nice entry indeed!

    For me its difficult to match it
    to the competition's title, but thats
    probably because I'm not a native
    speaker of english and keep having
    problems to match the topic myself.

    Well, I wouldn’t call it picturesque, anyway.
    How about ungewöhnlich? :D

    Seems so, I guess it matters more to
    submit a good picture than to fit the
    category like in the Assignment section. headscratch.gif

    Well, for WA following the subject does indeed matter. deal.gif
    We're doing some relatively basic, 101 type of stuff over there, with the idea being that one needs to learn the rules before s/he starts breaking them. It's like a high school - your teacher may be a total moron lol3.gif, but you better do what s/he says if you want to get the good grades.

    LPS, otoh, is the life-like situation. There are rules, too, but not that many (size, time and some hint of the subject), and the rest is free for your own interpretation.

    Just my 0.0002 of the f/stop... :hide

    The LPS themes are not black and white. Top flight photographs can stray quite a ways from the theme and still win because it will entice the judge to stop and think about how the photo meets the theme. Andy used the term "grabby" and I think that is key to understanding the competition. If you grab the viewer you have some leeway with the theme, but if you don't, you don't. The shot I try for in this competition is one that grabs the viewer right out of the gate and then offers a surprise in how it fits the theme. Both parts are hard, but grabbing the viewer comes first because if you don't succeed at that you've lost before you started.

    Well, reading through the judges’ comments I would think that they did focus on irregular and picturesque. Andy more so than Shay:


    Andy:
    Neither irregular or picturesque to me.
    Nice idea - not conveying either subject to me.
    A nice plane. So?
    Nice family snapshot but it's not contest-worthy. Neither irregular or picturesque.
    Neither irregular or picturesque. Fairly clinical, sterile. Step back!
    Not picturesge or irregular, at least not without the title. Not enough anyhow.
    Exactly. And why did you enter it in irregular or picturesque?
    Neither irregular or picturesque, sorry.
    Not irregular. Not picturesque. Is a lovely loon, better even if he was facing the viewer.
    Not irregular. Not picturesque. A nice portrait though.
    Have a seat, this isn't picturesque or irregular.
    Not irregular or picturesque to me. Bee looking away doesn't help.
    Awkward composition. Not enough snow to give me a sense of irregularity that means something.
    Techincally well done! Would be good for ad-work. It just didn't grab me for irregular.
    Not irregular to me. Not anything really. I'm struggling here.
    Not picturesque. Not irregular.

    Shay:
    Neither irregular or picturesque to me.
    Repeating patterns don't strike me as irregular.
    Beautiful! But not irregular or picturesque enough for me.
    Beautiful portrait! I really like it, but it doesn't look irregular, and the surroundings don't look picturesque.
