Hey Julien, shouldn't this be a single photo entry?

Maybe you're right. I'm a bit in diptych / triptyque but maybe it's not allowed.
My entry for "Trash" was a triptych and was accepted (voted #5).

I'll remove it if not appropriate of course.

Well, I like it. Besides, what's the difference between this technique and other Photoshop compositions that get entered from time to time?

Nicely done.

Cheers,
Rich

Julien and Rich, I'm up for change ... if the change makes sens for everyone.
I remember this being into the rules, but I can't find it anymore, or maybe it was from a different site. My personal opinion on this is that you should tell the "story" with one photo. This assignment should be about improving your photography skills and being creative at the same time. Multiple photos, either side by side or in top of each other, will make this issue kinda foggy. Is there a limit on how many photos we use or what you do with it? Anyway ... just FOOD for thought!

Fred I wonder what is your take on this? Just curious

Regards,
Sorin

I agree with sbkracer, in that I think it's always better if one picture can tell its own story. I think there are cases where diptychs and triptychs etc are highly artistic, but in this case iIm not sure it works.

I really can't tell **how** the small item on the plate relates to the fuel issue? I'm not sure what the 'illogical' part is...? Is it the fact that fuel is so expensive? Is it the cost of transporting food and fuel costs, when it would be better more locally produced... ?

I'm also not keen on the second picture being so underexposed and then the spotlight being so blown. It doesn't really illuminate what the food plate thing is or what the story is. A straight forward exposure would have said the same thing, as the context is to be found (if you can find it) in the contrast **between** the two shots. The highlight seems to over-egg the pudding.

I'd just use the first shot as it's a really good photo.

Sorin : I totally see your point. No problem to remove my entry (I'll go on with diptychs and triptychs appart from the WA).

Suse : What I try to express here is the "Bio"gaz nonsense (at least to me) : breeding to feed cars and not humans
Don't know if you've heard about E-10 (I think it's a european thing so I guess you will) ?
I really wanted to express this relation and was unable to came with something in one photo only and even with that I maybe failed if you didn't get it. Anyway still trying and learning

I got it, and I like the idea.

They're doing the same sort of thing here in the US. Well right now much of the farm land out west is used to farm corn that is used to feed cows. If you throw bio-fuel into the mix, how much is left for us to eat?

Thanks John ! I'm glad I'm not the only one to think that's it's not going where it should...

Cheers,

Clever, now that it's been explained but I was always a bit slow.

Like the idea anyway and I see nothing in the rules against the format.
