hey deb .. hope you're well ..?? ..
obviously you're real clean tho .. these amazingly luxurious shower cell facilities look like ppl would be falling all over themselves in an effort to be first to SK1 for their daily ablutions !!!!! .. now i'll have to check the spelling of ablutions coz it doesnt look right ..
one minute later .. nah .. its right .. weird .. who uses the word ablutions nowadays .. or the word nowadays .. now i'll have to check that one too .. it looks strange as well .. nahhhh its right too ..
anyway .. enough blathering on ..
love the combination of the mould and the obviously pristine shower cell and stuff !! .. the desat and the added green is excellent ..
you should get them to print it out and hang it in there .. ppl would be assuming that either the place got a real good clean or that the photograph got mould on it ... either way it would confuse them ...
well maybe that wouldnt be such a good idea .. !! :) ...

yeah charlie .. i've just read wot you wrote in the thread .. i opened this last night but didnt comment coz i didnt know wot to say !!!!! .. it brought to mind someone hanging and not from the gym bars !! .. i didnt want to offend you so i said nothing ..
this image evoked a sort'v disturbing feeling in that the legs look like they belong to a child and yet it looks as if she's being hung .. the background just intensifies the feeling .. makes me think of those dreadful times when they'd burn the 'witches' .. times of terrible ignorance .. every time we live in has terrible ignorance, but different ... but wotever .. :) ..
anyway .. i think in answer to your question as to how to make it look like she's more at a gym than actually being hung .. i'v got no idea except maybe to overlay another photograph of her at the gym where you can see her in action so it links it up with this one .. ?? .. i'm sure other ppl would have better ideas tho .. :)x

i like the crop just the way it is .. personal taste i spose ..
charlie is this straight from the camera? ..
it looks like a brilliant straight from the camera image, altho if you've edited it then you've used a very subtle and delicate touch .. one small thing, which i didnt notice in the first 6 or seven views!!!!!! .. is that her face is a tiny bit pink ... ?? .. wotever !!
coz this is a wonderful photograph of your daughter .. :)

Stakeout

quote .. JuliBoc Quite a shifty looking character. :P
i totally agree ... !!!!!! lol ...
well it seems that the voters didnt like it but that often tells us nothing .. look at how many of mine bomb out that are absolutely amazing and incredible images .. lol lol LOL !!!!! ... as in .. ha ha ..
this is a great image .. its very appropriate for the title .. if this had gone in a 'stakeout' challenge you'd have got a ribbon for sure .. think i've said something like that about something else .. but it is so true .. free studies are buggars .. so many ppl and so many harsh critics and often some absolutely amazing entries .. ppl pick their best of the month .. and some of these ppl are the 'best' in dpc .. so yeah ..
you got a few positive comments tho .. so you obviously pleased some of the ppl .. :)

Drought

Comment:
this image brings to mind a very hot african summer .. i know you dont live in africa, but i think it can be pretty hot where you do live .. i like the vignette appearance it seems like its on tv or something .. like a documentary from the 50's possibly .. it has a very old fashioned feel .. like an old photograph that's been sitting in someone's cellar cracking up .. !! .. excellent colours .. :)

love the smooth look .. your dog is very photogenic .. great combination of images ..
we should start an 'expert edit the dog' side challenge !! .. this is our amazingly gorgeous minuature fox terrier ..

at first i wasnt going to put this thumb in here, but just mention it, coz this is your image etc etc .. and then i thought is shouldnt matter .. i wouldnt mind if someone put their image in a comment on one of my photographs .. :):)
