Ashanali Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 The finalists are up on the canon photo5 site now. I didn't see any DOLers work there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm not particularly impressed with some of the finalists, particularly for the 'close up' brief. IMO there were a lot better photos entered than some that made it to the final selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I agree - there are some gorgeous shots there but at the same time, i'm very disappointed with some of the selections. There isn't one splat shot there that I actually like. I saw some great photos in that brief too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I know two finalists in the portrait category (the girl in the picture frame hanging from the tree and the 'reverse portrait' looking through the glasses to the kids playing on the beach)... I only pulled out three of those photos and said, "wow" when I was looking through all the finalists. I agree - I think the judges have tried too hard to find their finalists this year and overlooked some great work. This is what I voted for Bokeh: "Alleyeska Photo5 Bokeh" - I like that they didn't stick to something easy and even though it isn't sharp, it still works and has great colour, composition and a "magical" appeal. Close up: "100's and 1000's" (the one on the spiderweb) - The brief was "close up" and how much more close up can you get? You can even see bead on the spider's webbing. Portrait: I was torn. I loved my friend's one with the photo frame but I also love, "Black, White and Read All Over" - that is what got my vote. Very effective use of negative space and creative portrait. Splat: "Bathe My Way" - How can you not love this? In the midst of all that colour and chaos, the photographer has still been able to draw your eye in to the pink milk splash. That is skilled. Practically Black: "lawrencew" (the one in the ballarat alley way). The brief said they were looking for dark and moody and this is. It is excellent in terms of composition and there is still detail in the shadows. It's skillfully seen and captured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becandcharch Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hmm... wow, im really surprised I do like some of these but also think there were some more deserving entries. Some I have had to take a closer look and see if I missed something. Nope nothing else. Oh well, good luck to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellatrix Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Im a little bit suprised too.. there are some great ones there but like Bec said, I think there were some more deserving ones. Ah well, all the best to them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraNik Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Mmmm yeah, I agree. Not really impressed with many... I've even seen other entries that are of the exact same thing that were done better (the eyelash one with the 100 and 1000's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Is there a way to scroll through them without having to individually open and close each photo you want to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becandcharch Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Is there a way to scroll through them without having to individually open and close each photo you want to see? I dont think so Kirislin I loved this one for the splat brief http://www.flickr.com/photos/hueystar/4051173185/ TerraNik I thought the same thing when I saw the eyelashes If you have a read of the blog on the photo5 website most people have said they are dissapointed with the choices. I'm so glad I did it though. Made me definately think outside the square. Edited November 9, 2009 by becandcharch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I loved yours Beck but I scrolled through a few pages and couldn't find your lovers. I think it would be very hard to submit something that was noticed, it's a bit like a lottery, just so many entries, you've got to be very lucky, as well as submit a very good entry, to win.
