Bottom left looks like you're about to cry.

I like.

I want a decent camera.

I want to be able to take decent pictures.

I wasn't last

I was last for technical again, but then I have no idea how I could even begin to improve that, and as they were just candid shots of the ratties, I can't say there was all that much technical knowledge going into it (unless you count leaning the camera on the cage so you don't get bars thru the shots)

Does the one that won not say emotion to anyone else?

It's an interesting photo, but emotion?

Hmmm...

I guess its a hard round to judge. I really don't get how Colin's shot got more theme points than mine when it was the same concept. mrk's shot was technically good but it just seemed like a portrait rather than an expression of emotion. I've got loads of shots that are like that. Bleh Silly round. Gregeff's was excellent. Did it say emotion? I'm not sure. The problem was that people were showing the result of an emotion rather than an emotion. Very tricky.

Agree with you on most of this. Colin's shot is a good concept, but it's so similar to yours that I don't understand the differing theme marks either. mrk's is just a portrait (a lot of people seem to have done this) and looks completely emotionless. We both know how he likes to come up with long-winded stories on how it's relevent though (remember the button? ). Lots of the entries are photos which I wouldn't class as "emotion". They're just portraits.

However, I do think Gregeff's shot is a well-deserved winner. Yes, it's the result of an emotion, but the guy's face says it all. His emotions are raw and on the surface. Really like this shot as a competition entry.

I must admit, although I know little about photography, I love MRK's shots. I rememeber at the 'Pool meet DRZ and Cy said how he went against the grain. I still love his shots though. Gregs shot was good. I must admit I don't know where your shot came from DRZ (no offense intended, I just don't see the emotion).

mrk is a brilliant photographer but his ego is twice the size of his skill level His shot was technically great. Sharp, nice detail, well composed but it was just a kid. Didn't really say anything to me about emotion.
