Background? Theres a background?

Relatively happy with this finish. Incredible really how two shots taken at the same session (although with different lighting setups and backgrounds) can finish next to each other. Kev pretty much had the drop on me for the first half of the week, but I managed to pull it back towards the end.

Also a great battle with my teammate SaraR who pipped me to the post in the last day..

Fern shots in a bokeh challenge are sooooooo over-rated :) This is an amazing image - I predict a ribbon.

Gorgeous.

If you ask SC they might sort out the spelling mistake for you. I think they have done it before. Some people may mark you down for it. GOod luck!

Unlikely to be a DPC member.. so not really meeting the spirit of the challenge.. it really isn't that hard to be honest.

OK, I am thinking this is probably Whiterooks entry.

Dude, I am still not convinced you dont go out of your way to get low scores.. seriously, all you needed to do was nail the focus on this one and it would of done better than it probably is doing now. But the focus is on the background leaving a slightly out of focus Bear. The shingle behind is pinsharp and the colours and exposure are actually rather good.. Even if you had asked Rob to stand still for a couple of seconds while you pop of a couple of shots would of helped.

She`s HAWT!!!!! I love the cigarette butt in the ashtray next to the bed - adds that little bit of class to the whole image. I can imagine that bed has seen some Whiterook action!

Oh, Poop! I thought it was gas!

Its all relative.. I saw this and thought "hahah-ewwwww" at the same time.. You have balls brother (thanksfully cropped out of this shit shot.

I don`t know if I could find myself calling it art, but if I recall at a DPC GTG (get together) in London, we all met up at the tate modern gallery, one of the exhibits was literally just a huge crack in the floor (see here)

however, I remember a number of us discussing it and wondering how it was art - one person said one thing, another person had another idea - but the thing is, a lot of us was standing there discussing a crack in the floor.. so surely the fact it promoted discussion amongst so many people of different backgrounds makes it art. Art is intended to provoke reaction, stimulate conversation... Mate, you ticked all the boxes with this one.. oh and yes, some of the commentors below joined me in that discussion of the crack in the floor.. go figure.

Did I find it offensive? most certainly. Did I find it funny - sure, on a base `childish` level it made me giggle in my head. Do I have respect for you posting it knowing it would get `panned` (ho ho) - totally..

I think some of those who were really offended should check out work by highly respected artists such as Tracey Emin or Damian Hirst - they have shocked in the past but are very well respected in artistic circles. (well, Not Emin so much anymore).
