OOF

what kind of cat is that ??

you can always crop the pic. maybe if ya crop it just right ya can have the guy wire thats on the very right intersect the pic at the very corner. just a suggestion.

why PM ?? Don't be so selfish. i think our author should share with us all !!

Your image doesn't need to be enormous, anything between 2.5mg and 3.5mg is plenty big enough.

nice capture !! IMO, the plight of the panhandler would of been better portrayed in more subdued grey tones. It would of better reflected the dull, gloomy, gritty life that he probably has. still a good photo. good luck.

wish ya had a hi-res of it.

i gotcha. ya inverted it.

did ya reverse the black and white on this ?? very kool !!

that there is a keeper. high score and good luck !!

light reflection is distracting, IMO.

out of focus, IMO

I am a runner and a bicyclist. And I gotta get my avatar to run a little more cause his gut is way too big !! I got him in training.

when I looked at this under my microscope, I detected a small molecule of green and one atom of yellow. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. just kidding. one heckava entry, high score, and good luck. man, they looks tasteeeee!

I believe the burn tool is a no-no, because it is only working on one area of the entry, not on the total image. I might be wrong.

Nice take on the theme.

IMO, author, we have too many nitpickers at times. It seems that some folks can't see the forest for the trees. IMO, this fits the theme well. High score and good luck.

I see a lot more dark grey then black.

i believe that does the trick. great job and good luck.

they say ya can only use the heal brush to remove dust and scratches from a scan or speckles from dust on your camera's sensor. i don't know about finger tips ! LOL !!!! maybe an sbs showing the original, and then a finished entry with just cropping used perhaps ??

OOPS, author !! Ya just left the cat out of the bag.

kool !! how did ya hold the pin and synchronize the shot with the balloon rupture ??

great photo and high score !! how fast was shutter speed ?

was that a water balloon ? wish ya had a high res of it.

Not enough black to meet the theme criteria.

according to your GPS tag, you were a lot further away from the museum then what your entry shows. are you sure your coordinates are right ?

IMO, the black was not kept to a minimum and takes away from the "green" theme.

IMO, the bright yellow in the middle of the entry, is a distraction and takes away from the green, which is the theme of the contest. Also, IMO, top right corner needs cropped out .

nice pic. I would rotate it just a tad clockwise though to level out the horizon.

imo, it would of been better if there was at least a part of the subject that was focused so that the bokeh effect could of drawn the eye into it.

i just thought of something. that entry of the chap throwing the ace is probably your crooked dealer finishing up your hand, egh ???

awesome shot !!

I just noticed the pistol. and old school dial up. nice touch indeed. And I take it you are waiting for your crooked dealer that is in your employ to deal you your fifth card, seeing that you only have 4.

xtremely kool shot. dark, moody, sinister. I am even thinking that while you were raking in the chips in that rigged game, you were also on the phone participating in either a bookie operation or maybe a wire fraud of some sort ???

Is this OOF, or is this the effect you wanted ? It looks very blurred to me.

very nice, author. candle in cube ???

I figured the distraction contest. because the girl is surely distracted. LOL. my bad.

Must not of lost that much, cause ya still got your shirt. Nice photo.

What was lost ??

are you sure this is the right themed contest for this entry ??

nice photo !! how many carets is that rock ?? soap bubbles, i take it ? placed on mirror. creative

I get it now !! Ya was hanging by your feet from a multi- faceted mirrored ceiling and then proceeded to get YOUR SURREAL ON !! great photo, author.

that is one vivid, intense shot there indeed. you have raised the bar here. and looking at that head, i guess ya also raised the ax, huh ?? a KILLER pic.

where is the barbed wire in the bottom photo?

imho, i see no corruption. help us out here.

too dark, lack of set-up. IMO.

IMO, you need to read the theme of the contest.

Not much of a set up. IMO.

not much of a set up. IMO.

lol!! ya also forgot about the barefooted "dead" Paul, who is out of step with his 3 partners on the cover.
