I believe it is a typo, and there shouldn't be an apostrophe.

Though I like the different lighting, none of the picture looks very focused. If you could, try to make some portion of it look crisp.

That apostrophe shouldn't be there should it

'Only a sith would burn down Christmas trees.' Thats it

The Idea is that it is a spoof of the EP.III line 'Only a sith deals in Absolutes' (Obi-wan to Anakin)

Hope that makes sence now?

Yes. Sorry about that. As for the picture not being focused, I'm a bit lost. It was perfect, but seemed to have lost that when I resized it. I'll see what I can do, As the picture quality really isn't the best

Haha I see..

Im having a bit of difficulty understanding the pic. It isnt very clear what the subject matter is.

Nice shot Legoman, I really like how you made the trans-pieces glow in the dark. Did you use some special lighting or just photoshop? I also see you cropped the edges for the black background, but I feel you could still make the cropping with a cleaner finish.

It might be the blue lighting. I know my blue lights can fluoresce some colors like yellow and orange.

I would recommend adding a nice low-medium fill. The plate slope, I assume is the bank of the river of fire. is too dark. i can barely make out any detail on Anakin.

Thanks for the comments guys

I'll work on a better picture over the next day or two. I was using a Ultra-Violet light to make the Trans-Pieces glow

ahh yes, UV will make things fluoresce as well. try to find a wide spill floody light that can come one low. then play with the distance of the light to decrease the amount of light. You just need a little more fill light to brighten up the picture and really bring out some details.

you could also try bouncing light off of a white piece of paper.

Ok guys, I've given up on using a UV light. It's very hard to get a sharp shot in UV light, so I'm playing around with other things. Here's one Idea I've had - Based just after Obi has left Ani for dead

What do people think?

I must admit. This shot was very inspired by Fenris' 'Sick of it all' Shot - Which is still one of my favourite shots ever Which probably (hopefully) came though in the shot

Now that is a pretty sharp looking picture!!! I like it. I like the dirt and stressed look like he just had the fight of his life.

Thanks! Thats exactly what I was looking for

EDIT: here's another one (very similar, photoshopped the face to better show his emotion )

Oh wow. If you didnt mention the photoshop, I would have thought that was a stock face. (I dont have a vast compendium of faces stored in my head yet)

One bit of a suggestion, for a cool shot. Would be to have some red back lighting and some glowing red bricks in the background. So it looks like he is leaving the lava and anakin.

Ok thats weird - I was just thinking the exact same thing as I posted that shot. I have to try it now

EDIT: Have taken a pile of shots trying differnt method's of a lava-ry backround, but haven't had any luck. This'll have to be my final entry
