Stepping Down

I like the shapes and shadows, the shots textures and lines really lead you into the frame and around the bend which I is great. I do think I may have liked it better without the person stepping into the shot but still a very nice image.

I really like the scene you captured, the detail and composition are very nice. My only nit pick is the yellow cast is a little to much for my taste but still a very nice image.

Nice image but to me the angle of the face is somewhat odd, great tones really does give her a Barbie look. Likely a DQ for the added text though.

Just saw this one and read through the thread, pretty funny story. Similar story but not as messy , my parents got my brother a sweater for Christmas one year and it still had the electronic tag on it, when my brother opened it we got a kick out of how my dad had shop lifted his gift and we were able to kid my dad for a long time about about it, we even put in requests for items we would like him to shop lift for us for the following year. His tag may have beeped when as he left the store but he is so deaf he would not have heard it anyways. In my brothers case he had to take it back to the store and explain how it got it as a gift, never did hear how that went.

The key wording is if, Tom mentioned the shot has been validated so the if portion is no longer a question. Just because you can not accomplish this effect does not make it illegal. Why is it so hard to congratulate someone and trust they were within the rules until SC makes the call!

Again great job Tom!
