The photo by Geoff Powell would be the hardest image to set up. While the photo by Gordana AM is the best when it comes to the lighting and color. Lastly, the most dramatic photo would be by Luigi Benedetti. because of it's lighting and overall feel to it.
J.Richardson P.1
i think the shot of the cookie falling into the coffee would be a pain in the butt to set up. but the work the guy went threw to set this up was well worth it. this shot is really cool to look at. when you drop cookies into you coffe you dont see the specific droplets splash out of the cup.
T.Hess P.1
I would have to say the egg and pear where the egg is in between them i feel like that was the hardest because you don't want to break the egg.The one with the lemon on the wall because it just pops out. The one with the camera in it because it doesn't just set one mood it sets many and its bugs me. I think the most dramatic one is the one of the letters that make love in the shadow that one shows someone wanted it to be seen.
H.Cooper Per.1
In my opinion i feel that the photo with the two pairs and the egg would be the hardest photo to get. I feel it would be challenging to balance the two different objects perfectly and long enough to get a good photo. I think the photo of the lemon and the green wall of some sort uses the best color because the yellow pops with the green backdrop.
K.Derschmidt P.1
I think the one with the coffee cup and cookie was probably one of the harder pictures to get, because you have to take it at the perfect moment or else its lost. I really like the one with the pear sitting on all the cherries, or whatever they were, i loved the color in that one. I think a cluttered one is orange tomato one, it looks like they should be tomatillo, but its orange.
c.brewer p.1
That one, where there's a cookie falling into a little white cup full of some delicious concoction, probably was the hardest to set up specifically because of the timing. The picture with the pears and the egg, or simply the pears in row, are probably my two favorites when it comes to lighting. The most emotional and dramatic picture is the dying apple, because it's just... shocking. You don't see fruit like this- people usually aim to make it more fresh looking, delicious and ripe and vibrant. I don't know why, but I really love that picture.
A Gonzalez P1
I think the hardest to set up was the cookie going into the cup of coffee, the best one that uses lighting and color is the pear on top of those berries. The one with the most clutter is by Mikel Arrizalaga. I guess the most dramatic would be the cherries going into the grinder thingy.
S.Quintanilla. Per. 1
I think the hardest photo to take was the one by Geoff Powell where the cookie falls into the coffee because the timing has to be just right. I like the lighting where the background is dark and the foreground is colorful. I don't think it's too cluttered because you can really focus on what they are trying to make you focus on.
M Silva P. 1
In my opinion the picture where the wafer is being dropped into the cup would have been the hardest one to set up. I think the first picture by Giuseppe Bognanni photo has really good color because the flower pops out at you. I think the one with the old milk bottles is too cluttered, and the most dramatic or emotional is the broken pot with the fruit inside.
T.Horne P.1
I think that the baby in the water would be the hardest picture to set up. I think that the fork in the water was the best lighting. I think it was mikel arrizabalaga. The baby in the water.
A.Deeds P.1
I think that the splattering coffee was the hardest to set up. I think the picture of the pair sitting on pomegranate seeds had the best use of lighting. I feel the mikel arrizabalaga picture is too cluttered. I feel the Gordana am picture is emotional, because i feel like someone just bludgeoned a pomegranate.
A.Johnson P.1
My favorite one is the one with the cherries and the pits piled up. The one with the wafer landing in the cup of tea or coffee would be extremely hard to set up because everything has to be perfect. The one with the milk bottles would be very cluttered.
D. Riley P.1
I think that the hardest one to set up would be Geoff Powell, the one with the cookie falling into the coffee. I think that Pedro GoniO has the best lighting and coloring. I thinkthat thre one that is too cluttered is the Mikel Arrizabalaga.
-S. McQuown period 1
The photo of the coffee by Geoff Powell is by far the hardest to set up because the photographer has to be ready to capture the perfect moment. Gordana AM photo of the pear is most colorful with the best lighting. Most dramatic I'd say is Gordana AM's photo that spells out "love." It's in black and white, and gives me a creepy, uneasy feeling.
K.Kolsut Period.1
I think the hardest shot to set up was the baby underwater. The photo with the best lighting is Antonio Diaz's. I think the one that says 35 examples of amazing tilt shift photography is the most cluttered. The most dramatic one is the Guideppe Bognanni.
S. Matheson Period. 1
I think lots of these shots were hard to set up, but the hardest one was the egg in between the two pears. You would have to balance it perfectly. The picture I thought used the best color was the bowl of apples by the window. The most cluttered picture was the one with the flask, the books, and the camera. I feel that the most dramatic or emotional shot was the one that has those things that spell love.

B. Watson Period: 1
I think that the hardest one to set up would probably be photo #15 by Geoff Powell. The photo with the lighting and coloring I liked the best was photo #5 by Mikel Arrizabalaga. The photo that feels too cluttered to me is #18 because it is more crammed than others. The photo that seemed the most dramatic was the first photo by Giuseppe Bognanni.
M.Christensen p.1
I think Geoff Powel was probably the hardest to capture because it just seems hard. I really love the color or the edit in the pictures of flowers. The apple with a lemon in it i think. Im not actually sure.
E. Berry. P.1
Photo number 15 would be the hardest picture to take, because it looks really hard to set up! I really liked the one with the coffee cup and cookie, its looked like it would be hard to take the pictue. The ones that spelled love were the most dramatic!
Erika.Zitzelberger. P.1
The toughest shot to set up would probably have to be the two pears and the egg. The picture of the lemon on the blog uses lighting and color great because you cold tell the whole picture was well controlled. The most cluttered was the one with the hat and books because it was to much you don't even know what to look at.
J.Rosales
p.1
I think the hardest shot would be the one with the cooking being dropped into the drink and making it spalsh out. The one with the best use of color was the one with the pear sitting on top of the grape things. The picture with all the fruits, corn, and the bottle was too cluttered. The picture with just one little brown leaf all alone was the most dramatic and emotional because it's all alone.
M.Orton
The hardest shot to set up would be the coffee splashing out of the cup! The one with the bottle, flower, and lemon uses color and lighting the best. The one of the camera and other objects is to cluttered. The picture with the leaf alone is the most emotional because it seems sad with the leave being all alone.
A.Champ P.1.
Geoff Powell's shot of the gingersnap dropping into coffee. Mikel Arrizabalaga's photo of a Russian military hat and flask just is too cluttered to me. Carlo Pautasso's photo of two roses trying to reach eachother, one of them is real, the other rose is a photograph of a rose.
T. Losness, Period1
The hardest shot to set up would have to be the one where the egg was balanced and suspended between two leaning pears. The patience it must have taken to get it to actually stay like that long enough to take a picture...my gosh.
I felt like the sailor photo with all of the things a captain would have in his cabin looked very cluttered and dull. I really like the one with the fork pressing into the water. The lighting was awesome because it created an illusion that the water was more dense and it made the water look more blue so it would stand out. The most emotional one was proabably the one that spelled out "LOVE" although in the photo "LOVE" is spelled with a backwards L and E. This might mean that love his twisted and backwards from the begining to the end (L is in the begining of the word, and E is at the end of the word) I mean, that's just what I would think if I were going to make a guess at it.
J. Smothers period: 1
I think the one that was the hardest to set up was the one where the leaves are falling out of the bucket. The one with the best lighting I think is the one with the lemons and apples. The most cluttered picture is the one with the books and camera. And it seems like the most emotional picture is the one with the one rose and then the picture frame in the background.
K. Nagel P.2
The cookie falling in the coffee cup would be the hardest to set up. The lemon with the green is the best lighting because it makes them look contrasting. I think the spoon with water and a flower is too clustered plus none of them go together.
D.Jansen P.2
I think the picture with the splashing coffee would be the hardest to shoot. I think that the picture with the lemon and green background is the best color one. I think that the leaf and white background is the most emotional.
A Sauceda Period:2
I think that the hardest shot would be the one with the cricked pot with the leaves falling out. I think the one with the best color and lighting would have to be the lemon with the green background. I think the pair with the red/pink is too bright. I think the one that is the most dramatic is the one with the orange in the apple suite.
A.Willis P.2
THe baby was probably the hardest one to shoot because the baby might not smile. They all use color and lighting pretty well. The one that was too cluttered was the picture of the camera with a bunch of junk behind it. But then again that picture was the most dramatic because its a picture of a dead vietman solider i think.
M. Melhus P.2
I think the hardest picture to take would be the one where there is like a splash in the coffee. I think the pear used lighting and color the best. I think the one with the books and camera is very cluttered. I think they are all pretty dramatic and emotional.
A.boland P.2
I think that the picture of the cookie falling into the cup of coffee. But the picture with the pear in the cranberries is set up so you can see the shine on everyone and it looks amazing. Although the Russian one is cool but maybe a little bit to much.
Ian M-W
Period 2
The photo of the object being dropped into the coffee looks like it would be the hardest. To get the perfect timing of that photo must have taken a lot of focus. The lighting even adds more emphasis to the still life shot.
M McClure P. 2
I think the shot with the water, fork and flower was the hardest to to set up because the water was in the perfect place, yet still almost making it look natural. I also think this same shot uses lighting and color the best. I think the any color thou like picture is wayyy to cluttered. The picture that is most dramatic or emotional would be the Sven Fennema. The lighting is dramatic and the dust on the object gives this picture a sense of time.
M.Preston P.2
I think the hardest shot to set up was the picture by Giuseppe Bognanni. I think one that is too cluttered is the picture by Micheal Feugeas. I think the picture by Gordana AM uses color the best.
B. Ennis Period 2
I think the photo with the coffee splash would be the hardest photo to take a picture of. The photo with the lemon and green background, has the best coloring. The photo that is cluttered if the one with the hat and books.
T.Beard Per.2
The photo of the coffee and cookie by Geoff Powell is the hardest to set up because the photographer has to take the picture at the perfect time. Gordana AM picture of the pear is most colorful with the best lighting. Most dramatic is Gordana AM's photo that spells out "love." It's in black and white, it is really neat and kind of gives you a creepy feeling.
S Lovell
P2
I think the baby was the hardest to set up because it's under water. The pear sitting on red berries to me is the one with the best lighting and coloring. The one by Mikel Arrizabalaga was to crowded because they had a lot of stuff in the picture and nothing caught my eyes right away. The prbimages is the most emotional because it's most plain picture but has a creepy tree that's seems emotional.
K.Morello P.2
The picture of the cookie splashing into the coffee would be the hardest shot to take. And the shot with the green wall and the lemon has the best color. I think the red rose in the white vase and the grey background is the most emotional.
T.Fryett P.2
Out of all the still life pictures I think the one by Geoff Powell would be the hardest to set up. Perfect timing of the cookie splashing into the drink is extremely difficult unless you have one of the cameras that takes one shot for ever millisecond. Giuseppe Bognanni's picture the lighting in fantastical and they layout beautiful w/ the fork in the flower the colors compliment each other instead of clashing.
~C. West P.2
I think the hadest photo to set up was the Gordana am. Unless they just droped the pear on the ground. Over all I think the pictures are really cool, and a lot of time put in on them.
T. Fischer Period.2
I think the cup of coffee with the dropped cookie would be the hardest. I think the one that had the best lighting was the black table with the fork. I kinda think that the one with the pear and the berries is a little cluttered to me.
A. Herberger P.2
I think the picture with the cookie making a splash in the coffee was the hardest photo to set up. The picture with the rotting green apple had the hardest lighting, and was used the best. I think the picture with the camera, the hat, the map and the books was the most cluttered.
K.Seibold P.2
I think one of the hardest photo to set up was the Holger Droste photo. The photo that that uses the best lighting is the Pedro GoniO photo. The photo i think is to cluttered is the Mikel Arrizabalaga photo. The photo I think is too dramatic is the Geert Vyverman photo, it is not understandable and I do no even know what the object is.
M.Whitman p-2
I believe it would be quite challenging for the cookie dropping to the coffee. and I cant chose between the rest..
A.Lindberg
P.2
The ones i think took a long time to set up where the ones that tell a story or ones with a lot of props.. the one with the pear.
A. SPrague period 2
I think the photo by Geoff Powell was hardest to set up. And i think that Gordana AM used color and lighting really good. The photo by auster was to cluttered for me. And the photo by Giuseppe Bognanni was the most emoitional.
A.Thomson
P.2
I think the metaphor shot would be the hardest to set up. I think that abstract would deal with lighting the most because the more or less light would distort the picture more and make it seam more even abstract. And the metaphor one would seam more dramatic and emotional.
T. Tinker P.2
The hardest one to shot to set up was most likeley the one of the cookie falling into the coffee. I think the lemon on uses lighting the best. A lot of the pictures were dramatic so I couldn't really chose.
E.Wymore Period 3
I think the Powell photo would be the harder photo to set up because of the coffee cup has it's drink coming up out of it, which would be hard to capture. I think the Mikel photo is too cluttered, your eye is drawn to too many things. I think the Gekas photo is the most emotional one.
E. Angier P.3
The hardest picture to set up would half to be the picture by Geoff Powell. It looks like a cookie dropping into cup of tee or somthing The splashing motion is amazing and frozen perfectly still.
T.Munoz per.3
I think the picture Giuseppe Bognanni is the hardest to set up. Gordana AM has the best lighting. I don't think it is to cluttered.
D Guisinger
P.3
i think that the one with the cookie and coffe was the hardest one to set up. The one with the apples used the best lighting and color. The pic with all the captian stuff is to cluttered.
S.Snyder P.3
I think the hardest pictures to set up was the cookie and coffee one. It'd be really hard to get the right timing of taking the picture while dropping the cookie into the coffee. I think the best lighting is the peaches in the window by Mr.Ingard. I think the picture by Michel Fuegeas is the most clutered. I think the most dramatic and emotional one is by Artstew88 of the rotting apple in the dark.
R.Simmons
Period 3
The hardest shots to set up in my opinion would be the underwater ones, or the cookie falling into the coffee. I like the darker lighting pictures. I think the picture with the camer, hat, and books is too cluttered. Lastly, I think the most dramatic is probably the slowly rotting apple.
J. Gallagher Per.3
I think Geoff Powell was the hardest one to set up because the timing has to be perfect. The photo with the white bow is the one that use light the best. Mikel Arrizbalaga is the most cluttered in my opinion.
B. Comiskey P.3
I think the hardest shot to set up would be the pear in the cranberries cause it would be hard to make sure it stood just the way you wanted.I really like the lighting in the picture that is on the blog right now. IU think that the one of the fork with a flower isn't really cluttered just strange.. It docent nessicarilly "go together"
K. Polkk period 3
The shot of the cookie, or whatever it is, falling into the coffee cup and splashing up would be the hardest to set up. The most dramatic would probably be the lemon sitting on the mossy ledge above the water.
K.Kruger Per.3
The cookie and the coffee looks the hardest. The russian themed one was the best lit and the best colors in my opinion. The picture with the dying leaves and the wood background looks the most cluttered.
S. Jost Per 3
u think the hardest shot to set up would be the leaves falling out of the vase. the best lighting photo would be the apples and peaches in the bowl next to the window. the most cluttered photo would be the camera with the books and the glass.
B.Nowland P.3
The photo I think would be the hardest to set up would be the photo with the leaves falling out of the brown vase. The photo with the nectarines in the white bow; use lighting very well. The most cluttered photo would be the one with the books with the russian hat on top with a camera in front, the camera doesn't seem to fit in and it just pushes it over the limit of being cluttered.
B. Leonetti Per. 3
I think the best picture was the one with the baby! it had the best lighting and it was probably the hardest one to get.
N,vega P3
I think it would be hard to get the picture with the cookie falling in the tea. I think that's the coolest picture though. I like the Lighting with the cherries. It gives it a old feel to it,but at the same time there's color. The picture with the tomatoes I think is way to cluttered for my taste. The picture Any.Colour.you.like is probally the one with the most emotion. It makes me think of like a dinner and like good food.
R.Jacobs P.3
I would say Geoff Powell's work with the splash in the coffee cup would be the hardest to set up.
I think the lighting in the Auster photograph of all the leaves on the is the best as the light really brings out the leaves and the water drops on them.
Antonio Diaz's photo I think is the most cluttered, The Newspaper and the little thing in the bottom right isn't really needed and would still get the image across.
The most dramatic image I think is the photo by Pedro GoniO of the lemon.
J. Brady Per. 3
I dont think they mightve been hard to set up, because there seems to be only a few objects. I think eddie o'brian uses light the best. I dont really think any are clustered.
B.Little Per.3
The hardest shot to get would have to be the one with the cookie in the coffee. The one that uses color the best is the one with the lemon on the green wall. The most dramatic shot would still have to be the one with the cookie in the coffee.
S.Orozco P.3
the Geert Vyverman photo is the most complex and ornait photo out of all of the other photos. the Mikel Arrizabalaga photo is to clustered and has too much going on out of all the rest. my favoriet idea in the group is the wintermoon photo. the best lighting is the Amy Hopp photo.
the one with the 2 peaches balancing the egg in between each other. The one with the lemon on the curb is my favorite because it uses some bomb ass coloring. The one with the russian hat and all the things around it. The photo with the pomagranits is really dramaaaaaaaaatiiiiiiiccc.
D.Podloujnyi Per.3
The one were the flowers are all white because the making it white with how dark it is makes it look cool. The one with the army hat, and the drinking bottle because it shows how hard it is in the army. The rotting apple because its all be its self, and a lot of people can relate to it.
A.Stumbaugh P.3
The hardest i think to set up would be the baby in the water. The lemon and the mossy or bacteria curb i think would be the hardest to ues lighting. I think the most dramatic is the Carlo Pautasso.
L.Katzberg Period 3
The hardest shot would have been the smiling baby underwater. What baby in their right small minds be dumb enough to do that, and the parents... The 1st tilt shift looks a bit to cluttered. The greatest lighting is in the any colour you like pictures. Though most emotional goes to Mikel Arrizabalaga, with the communist atire displayed so no chala.

J. benjamin P.3
The photo with leafs would be the hardest to set up. Inless he randomly set them up like that by accident. The military one is to packed in my opinion. Though it is a great shot.
