The Perfect Picture: Rembrandt-style self-portrait and animals from below

To be honest, I found that animal shoot almost impossible for some, if you want to see the differences in creativity etc. then you should give them all the same animal. Then you can judge fairly, what are you supposed to do with a tarantula, for example, although others could have made more of it. The Rembrandt shoot was fun but it can't be otherwise than that they were helped with the lighting, you also saw all kinds of people by the lights and the windows. Not so strange if you're just starting out but in my humble opinion those photos are not just their own work. Notable detail, a number already didn't know how to handle a tripod, let alone lighting with lamps, reflectors etc.
