omg omg .. talk about nearly getting a ribbon ...altho totally the wrong colour .. way to go michelle!!!!!! ... this photograph has really grown on me .. its sort'v magical & the stick helps that illusion of course .. love the postures of the children .. great imaginative approach and love your different processing .. NEVER A GOOD THING IN DPC!!!!!:):):):) ..lololololol .. actually the imaginative approach usually works in dpc, but the different processing definitely doesnt ..
"this is a photographic contest" .. wot tha ..
ummmm .. i think the challenge rules say advanced editing .. wot the person really means is that if he/she can pick the editing then they dont like it .. there's probably heaps more editing by other ppl in this challenge that isnt as obvious, but ppl dont go "this is a photographic contest" ... i reckon as soon as you sharpen you've left 'just' photography behind, and you've entered the realms of digital art .. wotever .. everyone's different i spose, i just dont like it when ppl vote you down for their ignorance .. xxx

wow .. this is MAD .. is this woman real??, i'd say 'not' looking at the hands!!.. you may have said in the b&w but i'v just come visiting your portfolio, so i dont know of any other comments you may have made in the b&w side challenge ... this is the best shot ... reckon it'd go really well in a challenge ... maybe a 'wot tha' challenge!!!!:):)

rocket is just gorgeous .. excellent pose and expression ... love the details especially in his whiskers, those long hairs under his jaw and the one's near his eyes ... a very balanced shot not only re the whiskers, but the entire composition as well ... his he's a very very handsome dog ... :):)

White Flower

i'm not that into flowers either, but hey I LOVE THIS ONE!! .. love the shadows and the dof ... especially love the way that flower is sort'v drooping down on the rhs .. it could almost be a monster with large ears lurking behind that flower in the front!!!:) .. bang in a couple of eyes where the petals form that dark area and hey presto!! ... love the contrast created by the detail in the stamens?? in the foreground flower ..
MY LENS ARRIVED YESTERDAY!!! ... computer guy scott was over fixing a few problems with our computers .. he was here for 6 hours .. i'd just got the four elements shot done when he arrived .. quickest shoot and process in my entire history .. the score is certainly showing me that quick is not the best approach for me!!! .. anyway .. scott and i played around with my new lens which came when he was here .. the difference between my tamron and my new canon is astounding .. i will be grainy no more!!! ...
i know this isnt the place to write all this stuff, but its easier to say a couple of things unrelated to your image in here, than send email right now .. cramps, insomnia, pain .. i'm sure you understand :):):)xxxxx
