I guess I didn't beat the erotica after all. I didn't actually think I would.

My personal opinion is that this is just a little *too* strong and sexually suggestive for DPC.. but what do personal opinions matter?

Good job catering to the crowd.

For the record, I didn't use neat-image, or a smoothing program.. sorry. My black & white conversion and the skin of little girls was *that* culprit.. but thanks for assuming. Appreciate it.

I'm entirely excited about my first ever 7+ score. It's an honor and a major achievement, especially since it was achieved using children in a nude challenge (even if a lot of people thought Breeanna, who is only 8, was the mother, or an adult.) I'm really happy I hit 10th place too and stayed on the "visible" page.. that's a gas.

For everyone that finished above me.. congratulations, your tits and muscles beat me. *big grin*

For everyone that finished below me, keep trying.. I've finished in your positions many, many, many... many times.

This marks my official hiatus. It's a great note to end on, and I'll see you in comments and in the forums, but the challenges aren't where I want my photography to be these days.

It's been a gas.. and.. hey.. comment some on this and get me to the 150 comment mark eh? That'd *really* rock.

HAH! I know who nudie boy is! nyah nyah. ;) Now.. let's talk blackmail..

Just kidding. In all seriousness, I really like this take on the challenge. Great sense of humor, and a great set of .. shoes. I have a bald spot too. We must unite!

Color has a little too much yellow cast, but other than that I like the lighting and comp and everything. Don't get certain things stuck in the dryer door!

Good luck :)

A wonderfully candid and inspiring moment captured here. Deserving of a much higher score. In fact, this whole challenge features dozens of hidden gems down in the mid 5s that absolutely don't deserve to be there.

Another photographer to add to my list of favorites and to draw inspiration from. These are incredible! I'm absolutely in love with your processing technique. Keep up the great work, and look forward to seeing your stuff in challenges.

(take it from a fellow child photographer though, don't get too discouraged with the lack of child friendly challenges :))

Take care!

This is adorable, but I'm not very keen on the framing. As a candid, it's nice, but given a little more room on the left, and less on the right, would have given the child more of a presence. As it is, she's almost fading off frame which is a pity. Your post work, however, is absolutely gorgeous.

Originally posted by annah: tho, i see no real connection with rain besides his hand position, it is still a nicely done image.

The fact that his hand position can speak and say, "ahh, he's feeling for rain", make this photo as strong, IMO, as any photo where you can see rain or raindrops. Also. the ground is wet :)
