Sounds to me like ya all are egging the author on !!!

Whats an A4 and A3 ??

Salvadore Dali used these in his art sometimes. Called "soft watches". Clutter on the right side of pic is a distraction.

This is THE BOMB !! We need more of this levity in our world. Love the sharpness and composition. HIGH SCORE, and GL, author !!!

I ducked when I first seen it. Thought it was punching thru my monitor screen. good shot.

Nice entry. Except for the door behind it. Its distracting, and takes away from the subject.

What kind of tunes do ya listen to ?? I am going out on a limb here and say either classical or jazz.

Can't wait to see the answer to that one, Frisky !!

Urban running ?? kool shot.

good photo. I like the two ladies on top of your head. Cause they look like 2 bicyclists with helmets on getting ready to hill climb !!

real nice. A tad off the vertical though.

A stunning example of sometimes less is more. Good job.

Simply beautiful !!

maybe a tad post edited ??

Very good photograph. High score, good luck, and welcome to the site !!

Lets cut to the chase, author. You have violated the cardinal rule of anonymity, because we know that you are the author of both images. By the way, the other image got this one beat by a country mile, IMO. If I was you, I would delete this one.

Ya gotta rotate it via your software, and then resubmit the image.

Theme states no animals. Scat, cat.

When he stood on one leg and fluted out, he was DA MAN !!

Nice shot, but the object is very obvious, IMO.

This here is a keeper !! I like how ya captured 3 generations there. The knickers are a hoot. The bicycles are a double hoot. High score and good luck, author !!

I don't see any motion blur here.

Forest fire ?? Good capture indeed.

Uncanny how it resembles another entry in this contest.

Good shot. Ya raised the bar on this one !!

Beautiful rose. Dark squares on top and side tend to be distracting.

Line in background tends to be a distraction.

I had made a previous comment on this entry but I guess I forgot to hit the "say it" icon. Anyhow, I love this photo, and there is something about the hue that adds to the "dereliction" look of the beetle. Good luck on this one.

Felt electric bicycle. You cheated !! Just kidding. Good shot.

IMO, this appears to be the same image just separated in half. Just my opinion though.

I don't do the chop contests. but this here entry, author, is so kool. How do you manage to cut and paste the bat wings so good, given that they are so thin and wispy ??

Don't forget to put that camera in that case before ya go. You know how them baggage handlers are.

Interesting shadows indeed. 2 sources of light created the 2 sets of shadows ??

Them 2 birds in the background are having an arial domestic quarrel perhaps ??

Where is the hi-res at ?? All I get when I click on the hi res is a sized down version of entry.

I like the DOF, but IMO, it would of been better if the focus would of been on the tines. Also, I think the background clutter takes away from the fork. Just my opinion.

This is quite unusual. Is it a model or what ??

It looks like a unique, rare solar event !! A BRIGHT FULL MOON IN THE DAYTIME. And if ya look real close up in one of the windows on that one building, ya can see 2 ladies a peeping at that moon with a telescope. Oh, the shame of it all !!

Wow author !! What a shot indeed !! The water still has the shape of the balloon. Awesome !! I don't have much vote power, but you got all I got with this one. What was setup ?? (shutter speed, how was it timed so well, how many takes, etc) GL, author.

Do they have highways on Mars ??

This is one great shot !! Its fairly easy to capture animals and insects that are camouflaged due to that is the way they were created so as not to become prey, and also allow them to be predators. But this one here was so much more creative. Good luck, author !!

Nice entry indeed !!

He's probably got a six pack of Old Milwaukee in that cooler on the left. Just an ole country boy dressing up his trailer !! His woman is inside hooking him up with some fried catfish and hushpuppies.

Sorry, author, but me thinks I am gonna have to shut this project down. Way too many safety violations here. That's why there ain't no workers, cause they all perished falling off that scaffolding. Nice entry and GL on this one.

Nice pic there, author. It's like the big ole bright orange monster is destroying it's bland, dull, boring surroundings so it can reign supreme. ARRRRGH !!! ARRRRGH !! (that's what Tim (the toolman) Taylor would say. Remember him ?? MORE POWER !!

By gollies, it appears that the whole pic is covered with squares !! On theme for sure, IMO. Gotta ask ya why are the benches and tables so enclosed ??

That's a cutting torch.

I m finished !! LOL !!

Lookin like that, someone might wanna give her a good peeling !!

Good one !!
