Nice one, had a similar shot, but you did it first.

congrates,..well done!

I agree! GL!

GREAT JOB!!

My fav in this contest! really cool!!

UNIQUE! GOOD JOB!

GREAT JOB ON CREATIVITY!!! It ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not real sure what Craigers meant, but I think this is nice. As far as undeveloped goes, I don't know what else you would do with it. I'm not sure where you got the idea for this Author but I applaud your out of the box thinking, don't let anyone rain on your creativity parade

lol its not hand writing MnM, at least if it is, then its way to perfect and all the letters have been done identically ie. the 't's are all identical to the letter. I am guessing you printed onto paper and then did the set up. Not that this takes anything away. Nice shot.

great shot!!!!

NICE HAND-WRITING! Mine would be all over the place!

nice, well done.

The title,.. that's so simple, but i was seeing repression, restriction!
Never leave a photo so undeveloped , with so much potential! imo!

nice one

That is something!

nice one -- proof less can be more

Not surprised it you, great job!!

LOVES IT!!!

Is this a fencing mask?

I love it

That's nice! good job!

really beautiful, but you still have some greys in the photo, Only total black and whites are allowed.

very nice

interesting treatment

really like this one.

Love it

Great shot!

It should also be a shot of the rock, not a finished product................

These are commercial 'tumbled' stones, not natural finish.

I'd try to eat one.

lovely colours

Yummy looking rocks

Copal isn't technically a rock, but those are cool specimens. I like the insect inclusions. But, the blue ones are rocks, so you're safe anyway.

They look like Jelly Beans!

You gave a whole new meaning to the snow white fairytale lol

Get one with interchangeable lenses, at a minimum

Author, I'd suggest you post (or have a look) in the photography forum. While I'm here though, you might want to consider a 'bridge' camera as a beginner. Most of the functions of a big DSLR but no need to change lenses and much smaller. I have the Nikon P90 and it does a decent job.

I agree with the DOF. It just takes some practice. I myself have a hard time with it but you have a great shot here to work with. Nice idea

a perfect 'laymans' explanation Kiwi........

DOF is all a matter of the f-stop, f5.6 will let in more light, but only a small area is sharp. f11 will let in less light and give a deeper depth of field. When you focus on something it will be sharp 1/3 infront of that point and 2/3 behind. How deep the focus is depends on your f-stop, lens and distance from the subject.

Love the framing

That pigeon was totally looking at you, it's kinda freaky! Cool shot indeed.

I like the composition, but IMO more DOF would make it better! Good luck

No author when i saw this capture i was stunned...this is probably some school/college trip students from Serbia...3 fingers in this position always was and always will represent the Serbia...high marks for great shot

wow...great

cool shot...

Cool shot.

GREAT SHOT!! I liked the way you framed the bird!

I almost wish that really big black tree wasnt in this. Great shot... very scerene

hahahahahaha i like it..its really FUNNY
