Hopefully these guys will give everyone a break from the butterflies, birds, dragonflies and airplanes.

Maybe a tad too over processed? It wasn't the best picture to start out with and I tried to salvage it in photoshop.

I like the end result... a little dark and creepy (and not a butterfly on a flower - which I took several of for backup just in case)!

yeah, some slight processing problems. a weird sort of halo effect, as if you dodged the bats with a broad stroke. that's why you *only* got a 9 from me... ;)

I thought this one was going to ribbon. Seems like many viewers don't rate pictures as highly unless the subjects are soft and cuddley and colorful!

Dark and eerie - looks like a movie poster.

fantastic image - love that two are starting to awaken - the processing here is spot on - very metallic and otherworldly

Awesome capture of these bats, are they fruit bats? I love the tones of the image; they look happy napping up there.

Great shadows and tones. Incredible idea for the theme.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2007 05:44:19 PM
marvellous, if over-processed-looking. No doubt very saleable. I don't like the toning - seems to me that it would have impact without it, and it only pushes the viewer into a reaction (s)he ought ot have anyway with a little looking. Great visual sense though.

Eww, so creepy! LOVE the editing, gives it a horror story feel. Very cool!

Haunting shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/21/2007 11:00:56 AM
I suppose this is a difficult shot to get, considering the light conditions these creatures live in. They are really scary, and there are lots of details here... Well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/20/2007 11:11:01 PM
Nice shots of bats, but a bit dark to recognize much detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/20/2007 05:49:20 PM
Great photo - love your PP. I happen to like bats, but I know many people don't. I hope you don't get voted down for that.
