Desolate Dud

This was a very good idea, but very hard to pull off without specialized equipment: light box, lamps, special lens, and of course Photoshop. You can accomplish good things without all the equipment, and this is the place to learn. Enter often, try new things, read the forums and tutorials, and don't be discouraged. Most importantly, have fun.

Great shot. And it's nice to see a public celebration for truly honorable achievements. (Over here the parades are for holidays, or for football teams.)

A Chance Encounter with the Real Tooth Fairy
by timfythetoo

Comment:
Absolutely too funny. Thank you. It's wonderful how you captured a classical shot of the child in the "Dr. Denton" sleepwear holding the teddy bear by the hand. It's a beautiful picture in it's own right. But to add that to the hilarious tooth fairy character was genius.

Enter the Woodsman

Comment:
I know there are woodsmen in many of the stories, but this doesn't feel much like a fairy tale to me. In the long run that doesn't matter, because the image will last long after the challenge is forgotten, and I really like this image.

Wish I could still squat and balance like that. I love the angle and perspective. And especially like the pp.

Beautiful picture. You're right that this is not an effective size for it. I'm glad you posted the link to the larger version. The light is much more evident there, and is beautiful.

Oh man, I love this. The colors are so warm. I love the DOF and the flare of the beard and hair of the nutcracker. And it makes me smile -- a lot!
