this is the cutest cat .. i reckon it'd be a close thing if there was a competition for cuteness between our hugely gorgeous katee or your luna ... and that's saying something from someone who is so much more into dogs than cats .. :):)

Close Call

omg owen .. i cant believe 248 out'v 556 .. i also cant believe how few comments you got .. weird .. its an excellent photograph ... just fantastic .. i like the title too !! ...
if this did crap i'm thinking my entry in 'dreams' might end up with less than 4!!! .... this totally blows me away .. altho, when i think about it 5.7 is a pretty good score ... but for someone who has all 7's on their profile page except for a lone 6.99, then maybe 5.7 is pretty ordinary .. 5.7 for me is quite good!! ..:)x

yep, i'm with jon .. cant work out the score either ... i do think that you're high contrast shadow guy might'v gone better, but i'm usually wrong trying to gauge wot the the voters like ... i love the atmospheric feel to this image .. the lamp is excellent and so stark against that gorgeous dark sky coming down to the glow on the horizon .. i feel that it may have been the darkness that gave you the low score, but trying to please to the majority is very difficult .. i've found in dpc that sometimes entries made by the most artistic, original and creative photographers often just dont appeal to a lot of voters .. :)

omg ... i'm excited !!! .. think i better take a sip of coffee and recover .. ahhhhhhh thats better ... i love this image coz it has a sort'v old fashioned advertising feel to it ... we dont have many tins anymore for the more common types of biscuits ... the more fancy ones can come in a tin ... this conversation is making me all excited again .. i think i better come back to this later .. !!xx

Day08 - Patience

Comment:
OMG .. you have a name for that ant .. the amount of ants we have around here is astronomical .. to remember all their names would be just about impossible ... and because they are all very similar in appearance it would make remembering their names even harder .. i usually repeat the "person's" name after i'm introduced so i will remember, (its also supposed to be polite too !!!) .. unfortunately i didnt repeat the names of the 120 ants that i was recently introduced to, when a new batch made an unwelcome appearance in my kitchen, due to the rain .. i decided it would be a waste of time trying to remember their names seeing i have the ant-rid stuff out and those ants will hopefull soon die .. (i'm very polite, but also a murderer .. i'm a very well rounded yet conflicted personality!!) .. anyway, i'm sure those 120 ants will be replaced by another lot real soon ... the 120 is a very conservative estimate .. its more like 120,000 !!! ..
oh bye the way .. i love this flower shot .. the ant is making me feel remorse for the 120 ... i said before that i'm not into flower shots that much, but your ones at the florist doing the wedding were superb ... if we had any flowers within a 2km radius of my home i may be tempted to go and photograph them .. its raining, maybe tomorrow!! ..:)

Day 8 Jeannie Beanie

Comment:
wot a gorgeous dog .. i love that beautiful adoring expression .. how wonderful that you have another dog after that very sad and distressing experience with albert .. and i'm sure the pain will ease, especially seeing you have jeanie ... i know that one dog never replaces another, but the joy you get from having this lovely dog around should soften the pain of your loss ... it must'v made the whole thing heaps worse that you lost all your photographs of albert .. the one's you took from your camera phone are gorgeous ... :)

Day 7: M Mountain
by cgino

Comment:
like this was ever going to be a square crop!!?? lol lol .. wot an amazing scene and an excellent panorama .. i find that i'd be wanting to sharpen up the mountains, for instance, and possibly the grass and leaving that beautiful softness in the clouds .. but in some ways the gaussian blur has added a sort'v interesting texture or feeling to this wonderful image, which is a different treatment to the usual sharpening that we all seem to do most of the time .. i'm as guilty as anything for that!! .. i really really like the slightly desaturated look .. it totally works for this in my opinion .. :) .. the sky is awesome, not only the clouds but the very intense dark blue/grey .. did you have a polariser on for this shot??..
i'm an insane lucisart addict and there's no way i could have this in photoshop without running it thru a lucisart treatment .. its such a shame that i cant use it in a basic edit challenge ..!! :)
