The week’s theme is not something shiny ?

@shajuke : very good job

Very nice everyone! I just went through the entries with my little daughter. Both of us chose fdo’s entry. So, this is where my vote went.
BTW: Great first post and wonderful image. Keep it up, it is always good to have more people participating :slight_smile:

Thanks Megeon, and it does look like rarebit forgot to change the theme name for this thread. :smiley:

Great entries everyone! I was undecided on whether to vote for Helge’s entry, or FDO’s, but I ended up voting for FDO, mostly because of the amazing Christmas-ball material.

Hello Guys!
Couple weeks ago the challenge was “Juxpositions” and I couldn’t make my work on time. so I finished it a few days ago and I want to show it to you!

“Would You Bomb It?”, not pure, 1500 Samples
Imgur

(Thanks to Andrew Price’s Architecture Academy for the plants and to Heinzelnisse for the Tank)

In the war against Hamas, Israel faces that dilema every time. Hamas known for using hospitals and schools for storing ammo and shooting missles. So would you bomb it?
Please give me a honest feedback to help me get better :slight_smile:

btw sorry for giving you a link to my Flickr, the image’s size is 10MB and I can’t upload it here.

To me, this is a 4-way tie between Photox, fdo, YAFU and shajuke. Having modeled jellyfish before and knowing how hard it is, I’m going with YAFU. :slight_smile:

@eyalmu Thanks for sharing. Without going into the politics of it, I’d say the image could use some DOF and maybe some more dramatic lighting. The bricks look too flat. The plants and the ammo are pretty convincing.

Rarebit, you got the theme wrong. It is supposed to be “shiny”.

actually shiny can be anything without definition its all about how its interpreted


Merry Christmas Everyone :slight_smile:
