#PAINTING contest winners!

Here, we have the results of the #PAINTING contest.
We had several judging criteria:

  • Concept & Idea: Idea, Emotion, Feeling, Mood, Impact, Creativity, Originality, Style
  • Technical Value: Exposure, Focal distance, Focus, Sharpness, Depth of field, Lighting, Noise, etc
  • Modeling: Model choice, Posing, Commitment, Expression
  • Makeup, Design, Effort: Make up, Hair, Dress, Design elements, General Effort level, etc

This way, with this categories, a newbie photographer with a cheap camera, but who would go an extra mile, put a lot of effort into the shoot, etc — can win over a professional photographer with a $5,000 worth equipment. After all, this was a contest of TFP projects, not a contest of who has the most expensive camera, right?

2nd PLACE

Jason cheated a bit. The contest name and theme stated to use a classical painting. We’ve defined “classical” as “the artist must be dead and the painting should probably hang somewhere in a museum”.

Jason’s choice — Jeffrey Catherine Jones’s painting — isn’t anywhere in a museum. Her outlandish paintings are all over fantasy books covers. But she is deceased now, not so long ago, in 2011; so technically — “dead”. Considering this, the submission was accepted and — hey! Won the 2nd place!
