The more I look at this the more I like it. When I wrote my comment I thought about removing the bit about the spelling but left it in. Man that must be annoying hearing people complaining about the spelling for a week. lol sorry.

Bumping this up another notch because it has a wonderful Holga-esque quality. Would ideally like just a hint more light.

Sinco? Fireworks aren't traditional here for Cinco de Mayo. Nonetheless, this is not your typical fireworks shot. I actually like it out of focus like this. Makes me want to get my 3D glasses out.

Not legal for basic challenges but Image Stacker would allow you to shoot multiple short exposures to simulate a longer one so you could have a noise free final image.

I always really liked Troy Paiva style photos. I think without the additional ground lighting this would work better but still quite interesting.

This is my favorite so far. The connection is perhaps a stretch but the look of the photo is great.

Like the photo but the frame is highly distracting.

'Til I'm Blue in the Face

Not a lot of people liked this image. I think the pattern of markings was a little distracting. Interesting idea though. I would have rated higher if focus was back further so that the eyes were sharp as well. Some additional lighting on the eyes would also be nice or you could go the other route and rake the light so it darkens the eyes.

It's funny, nearly everyone felt negatively about the blue tape but that's what made the image for me. If you didn't have the tape it would be a boring photo. With it, it becomes humorous. I wouldn't listen to the others on this one.
