I can see where you're going with this one. However, for the image to really work, you need to lighten the image in the eye a touch more. 5

I didn't comment either, but I gave this a solid 10. A truly wonderful shot. (Maybe just a little noise interferance...)

This is a great transformation! The editing really shows a strong argument for allowing more advanced rules here. Superb stuff.

An Orchestra of Colours
by Konador

Comment:
This is a very nice idea, and the colours are simply superb.

I wonder, though, if the overall effect wouldn't have been better had different instruments been chosen and from widely different angles? If you want to concentrate only on the brass section, or even on only one instrument, you could use the bell, the mouthpiece, the top or bottom view, or whatever.

I think people must be scared to comment on these wonderful shots. 820 views.

This is a great shot. The pose is provocative - natural yet arrogant. The tones are spot on, and the composition simply marvellous.

I'm really drawn to this image collection. Even the font choice is bang on. Lovely stuff.

Smiley Fish

Comment:
Seeing as you've used my real name, I've got to comment on this.

Yes. I smile, too, when I see this. You've caught a precious moment. It might be better, though, to crop a lot out of this to focus in on the fish itself. Then the subject would be more obvious and, hopefully, funnier. Nice colours.

What a cutie! and a lovely photo, too.

Merry Christmas, Jacko, to you and the expanding family.

In your comments, you say that getting a nice, sharp, even focus was difficult. I think that the reason for this was that you used f2.0, one of the widest stops possible.

If you had used a narrower stop, like f5.6 or so, more of the shot would have been in clearer focus. What I do when I absolutely need the shot to be in focus is to use my narrowest stop (f9.5). But experience tells me that for a 5-10 cm object f5.6 is enough. You need to experiment.

Effective use of this technique. Well done. 8
