Firehouse Humour - Green Tar and Feathers

visiting my faves...

this was my first fave. the thing that struck me about the image was that it was so, well, eye-catching. sure, post-processing was pushed to the max, but, all the same, it takes a great base image to begin with. this is a great example of just what can be done--if you have a strong base image.

this is an image that i would not attempt to duplicate, not in the sense of finding a tripped-out fire truck, but one that i would keep around as a reminder of what is pleasantly possible, if you get it right in the camera.

another thing i like is that this image is two years old, and it is still just as strong as it was yesterday. lastly (and this is a BIG deal), mario is still not only very active at dpc, but has over a 5.8 average after over 140 challenges! keep it up!

very nicely observed. the balance of patterns, lines, tones all work to keep this interesting. i also like the juxtaposition of the soft clouds with the strong buildings. strong work here!

whoa...i'm going to have to give RSE another look. even though your treatment is killer, it does help to have a strong base image to work with. good job!
