Congrats on 3rd, elemare.

Congrats on 2nd, maiaschka.

This is great! I especially like that its lighting neutral, no bright sun light or dark shadows.

Lots of shapes, lots of textures, a nice hi res. Yup, this would make a great picture for beginners to advanced.

Wow, I can see all kinds of possibilities here. The high res is wonderful!

This is a great shot, primarily because of the wing. Insect wings can be problematic when trying to mask them, but because of the clarity of the shot and the clear blue sky behind the wing, it would make masking much simpler. I'd be happy to use this photo.

For me, the fog is just a little too dense. As a chopper, I can add my own fog effects. What I'd really like to see is this little island on a slightly overcast day (few or no shadows). My imagination can come up with all kinds of uses for it then.

Congrats for 3rd!

Congrats for 2nd!

Congrats on 3rd place, se7en!

Congrats on 1st, majkman!

I love the contrast (but poor ballerina).

Congrats, Glockman!

Congrats, roon!

What a great idea! Its like under the ocean, but in the sky. I like that you not only showed what your little aliens look like from the side, but from underneath, too. Is mama losing one of her babies?

I love this, especially in hi res! I love the detail in the vest, the little buildings way in the background, the color choices. I'd also like to say thank you for the SBS. You not only showed how you did it, but the creative process, too. Tilt the head back, close the mouth, lose the halo. Great entry!

I like the display in the thumb, especially the blood pressure readout. lol

What beautiful colors! But such a sad story...I especially like the texture you gave them.

May I just say, Yowza! The sources are well blended (and what great finds!), the SBS is informative and the idea is chillingly represented. I'll be popping this into my favs now.

Congrats, Glockman! Love the little curl up at the ends of his 'stache.

Congrats, oziipop!

Congrats on 1st, roon!
