Here is a photo  that I was going to enter into the state fair under creative/digitally manipulated. I was told by a few that I should and by a few that I should not because it was "to weird"  

What is your opinion on the photo.. to weird? Should I have entered this one or not?

Love it!!! Great idea
Ewww, what is it? I like it for now, maybe until I find out what it is. I like weird.
It is a baby growing inside a small clear grape thing.
I like weird, Love the concept! I like the simplistic colors. I would crop out some of the upper left corner as its wasted space and it would bring more attention to the subject (making it slightly larger). I would like to see the transparency of the globe a little more clearly, even thought I can see what it is it would be completely obviious.
Thanks guys! And Joe. You went much easier on me than I did you.. but you asked for it!
I think the picture is very cool. I hope you enter it. I manage a medical practice of Maternal Fetal Medicine and it really was interesting to me. It is a high risk pregnancy practice and our providers do fetal surgeries. I have a key chain that s a similar fetus that gets the same kind of comments as you did on your picture. As weird as they feel about it they still can't quit looking at it.
That is cool Claudia. I did not enter it. I ran out of time and could not decide when it came down to it and had to have my entries in yesterday. So I just chose one of my rodeo shots, don't think that it will do the best but who knows. But at least it was a cool photographic experience for me and I will be able to put it up in my office or studio after.
Cool shot Rusty.
The thing that distracts me most is the green stem on the right hand side seems very bright. I think it really needs to be there so cropping wouldn't work but maybe it could be burned down a bit.
Love the concept though I thought these guys were born under cabbage leaves ;)
Thats what you get for thinking! Thanks Doug! That was one of the critiques that Photosig gave me as well about that bright stem. I will try a burn on it and see what happens. Thanks all for your critiques as well :)
I think it's GRAND and perfect Rusty, "Critique" can mean "That is just ace cool" Your watermark is an "in your face billboard" it that part of the image?
Tanks Steve! Yeah the watermark is very intrusive. I do want it to be an "in your face billboard" sometimes so that the name sticks but there are times when I have a photo that I just have to either hide it more or almost fade it to nothing. I dont know what the logic behind that is I just play it by ear with each pic. Thanks again!
I thought I would mess around with the photo. I thought it was a little to unfocused. My eye had a conflict with the branch on the right. It also looked hazy or something. I also took out the two to branches, and then added them back in but at a lower opacity. I also blurred the background a tad because of the noise. I only spent about 5 mins so its sort of sloppy, but you get the general direction I think the image could go. Such a great picture. It would be one of those pics everyone would walk out talking about. Go Rusty!
