Strad Offline Image Upload: On Re: # 276 Egg Toss I caught these two artist's models playing catch with an egg. This was a lot of fun to make. Believe it or not, everything is photographic. Nothing was made up in Photoshop. Edited by Strad on Dec 17, 2007 at 03:05 PM GMT (Reason: Added a little blur to the egg) Dec 17, 2007 at 10:02 AM

Steven Roberts Offline Image Upload: Off Re: # 276 Egg Toss How cool is this shot. Looks like a wooden version of the Will Smith's movie "I Robot" A really nice approach to the WA not to mention Endre, the toys!! Great comp. Steve R. Dec 17, 2007 at 01:08 PM

Steve Spencer Offline Image Upload: On Re: # 276 Egg Toss Hi Endre, Your shots are always so creative and have such wonderful lighting. This is a very interesting take on the WA. Good luck this week. Steve S. Dec 17, 2007 at 06:48 PM

Mark Speight Offline Image Upload: On Re: # 276 Egg Toss I agree that this is a great shot, but perhaps its just me, i cant see any "motion" in it..... Dec 17, 2007 at 06:59 PM

JHut Offline Image Upload: Off Re: # 276 Egg Toss Yes I do think I like the egg blurred. I love the color of the wood constrasting against the brilliant blue background I also like the surealistic design. Dec 18, 2007 at 12:01 AM

Karen Gilligan Offline Image Upload: On Re: # 276 Egg Toss Endre, Love it! What a great take on this weeks WA. I agree with the other the blur on the egg really gives the shot some motion. Very well done, good luck. Karen Dec 18, 2007 at 12:15 AM

I'm so glad you like it! I can always count on you to amused by my stuff. Actually. I was at a complete loss over what to shoot when i happe4ned to be in my oldest daughter's room and saw the wooden artist's mannequin. Immediately, the whole photo popped into my head almost as you se it here. The only thing that I didn't anticipate were the wispy clouds outside when I went to set up the shot. That accounts for the background. All best wishes, Endre PS: I've never seen that movie. It looked kind of interesting from the trailsers. I'll have to rent it. Dec 18, 2007 at 09:33 AM

Strad Offline Image Upload: On Re: # 276 Egg Toss Thank you, Steve! I'm glad you like it and always appreciate your kind comments. I try to use natural light whenever possible - which always seems to come out the best.

Strad Offline Image Upload: On Re: # 276 Egg Toss Thanks, Bill! I'm happy you like it! i frequetly like adding the shot of the Moon and Venus into my more abstract photo creations. It's kind of a little lightmotif of mine. All best wishes, Endre Bill Sutherland wrote: Tremendous work Strad. I like the added touch of the moon and star. Dec 18, 2007 at 09:47 AM

Philly Rains Offline Image Upload: Off Re: # 276 Egg Toss Endre, you are indeed the MASTER! What a wonderful composition! I love the sky with the moon and Venus, and I think the shadows of your models really add to the overall image. Great addition with the blur on the egg, although I didn't see the previous one. I can see that it wouldn't have been as dramatic without it, so that was an excellent touch, my friend! I think Fred's gonna love it, too. Dec 18, 2007 at 09:46 PM

Carrol Offline Image Upload: On Re: # 276 Egg Toss Endre, I LOVE this photo. Wonderful idea and execution! It really holds my attention! ... my eyes keep traveling around the image. Bravo. Regards, Carrol Dec 19, 2007 at 05:30 PM

Strad Offline Image Upload: On Re: # 276 Egg Toss Thanks so much, Carrol. I'm so glad you like it. A long time ago I learned a little about ideas of classical artistic composition. This one is in the X pattern which is why your eye bounces around inside the frame. All best wishes, Endre Carrol wrote: Endre, I LOVE this photo. Wonderful idea and execution!
