I'm having a lot of fun with the sooc part, but not sure I am achieving the lofi part. As usual, this challenge is turning out to be quite a challenge for me! Especially when I see the fabulous work many have done with the idea. Thoughts appreciated.

    HI Virginia,
    Of all of these there are two that I think work really well with the theme, #1 and #3. While I absolutely love #2, the pose, the composition and the look of it, I don't get too much lo-fi from it sone_nau.gif , but it is my favorite image. #3 looks otherworldly--I like it very much.

    Thanks for the input, Liz. I, too, like #2 the best, but it doesn't scream lofi to me either. :cry I was kinda hoping it was just me.

    Good part is that I have the picture. Which is true for some others I have taken for this challenge.

    Bad part is that I am sort of back to the drawing board.

    Thanks for taking the time to comment. iloveyou.gif

    A great image (a fantastic subject :D), and it says lo-fi to me.

    I too like #2, but I think you're right - not lo-fi enough.

    I actually think #4 looks lo-fi...lots of noise going on. I think the composition is beautiful. This would be my favorite of the 6 you posted. I know what you mean about going back to the drawing board...I've been there all week. rolleyes1.gif

    Put me in for a vote for #3 as well. #2 is my favorite of the bunch, but I'm drawing the same conclusion as everyone else. Regardless of the challenge, you should print that one.

    I'd like to say #4, but something about the image results make me lean toward #3. I like the pose in #4, the grain... maybe it's the grey of the skin tone... I'm not sure.

    I think #3 has got it. Enough detail taken away to fit the challenge with enough left to make it a wonderful photograph. The pose is great, the expression and the VERY high-key aspect.

    While I LOVE #3, I think #3 or #4 better fit the theme. I also really like the school bus, #1. And the longer I look, the more I really like #3 very, very much.
