I enjoy this. Really like what you've captured in his face, and the parallel of the poster profile behind him is an added bonus.

Wow. This is excellent. The dof is perfect. I think your choice of tones keeps this from being too busy, and I like how it treats the light that's coming at them from the side. Big congrats!

Pretty scene. Some editing issues around the palm trees?

Not a Baby's Butt

A sure winner for the 'fart on you' challenge. Personally, I think a butt picture is a fine idea for silky smooth. However, all I wish to perceive is 'cheeks' - this gives me more insight than desired. No vote.

Painting in Silk

Really nice idea! Red might be a little too sat perhaps... at least on my monitor... and I might have put the brush on top of the silk and dipped it in blue paint.

I think you already did ;-) Congrats on a great score. Dang, I have to remember to use duotones next time. Btw, I think the darkness works really well.

Ahem. You know, I bought this bridge fair and square from the fella who owns it so I don't know what you're doing taking pictures of it.

I remember this shot from voting. Dang, it would have been perfect for vanishing point, or symmetry as Jayson mentions. Great perspective - I think you hit it just right. I like it as is, but I also wonder about fooling with the color or smoothness. I'm not sure how, but maybe some kind of inversion... just for kicks. Also, I am wondering about cropping the sides a little to make it more like tunnel vision. But that might make it too generic/simplistic...? Great shot and great location, and a very decent score for a big, gawdy free study :)
