Teaser .. meanie (grin) Given how good this creation is, I think you should come and play regularly. I have commented before on one of your challenge shots that I really like your imagination and style .. love the grain in this .. shadows and textures all work .. very nicely done.

film noir is just what I thought too .. beautiful creative with the brocade table cloth and the antique phone .. the overlays you used make it really look like a photograph from days long gone.

4-AUG 2011 OVERLAYS - a small dog

This one is one of my favs .. I have a little dog, not good for photographing as she is mostly black - but this tugs at my heart strings as there is something about little dogs that make them so special .. your images really show how they love to play and run and fetch .. the overlays make it vintage - the font you used is perfect .. all this and a macro queen too .. life cheated me bad .. bad...

The Clown in Me

Comment:
Amazing effect .. the indifferent emotion in the eyes of the clown are the exact opposite of the feeling he is portraying with the vicious teeth .. more frightening than if the eyes were displaying a more ferocious emotion .. I get such a feeling of being sucked in against my will by the illusion of motion you have created as well - fantastic composition

fascinating collection of images and textures in this creation - the eye with the perfect catch light is watching over the sentient beings who live in the water and under the rocks, keeping them safe from the people in the house. Thank you for the story.

what a skillful job of choosing the right overlay for this scene.. even though it is dark, you get the feeling that at any moment the sky will open up and the sun will blast through again .. love how the rocks in the f/g still have their details and shimmer gently in the muted light. The beam of bright light is another area of interest as it look like you caught the rays of the sun on the water seconds after the sun went behind the clouds.
