Seems you underestimated yourself badly on this one. It's great. If it were up to me it would have ribboned.

I knew this was MAKS purely from the style & the model (his son). The worrying thing was I wanted to give it a ten, as liking his style, have marked him high in the past, this time though I dropped it a couple of marks so as not to get into trouble with `friend` voting. Its sad that its come to this.

Even if his son wasnt in the shot, I would of known it was hish, purely because whenever a new filter or style is discussed in the forums, MAK is generally one of the first to put it into practice in a challenge environment, and I take my hat off to that, howevr, and this is constructive critism, he also has a tendancy to overuse a new effect until the `next big thing` is discussed, just look at his tonempaping entries!! (however this could of been his undoing as others know his style and due to recent evernts, felt the need to `punish` him.. who knows).

Nice shot mate. At least it hit top 5, any lower would of been a travesty.

AMEN Mak!!!!!

Oh. . .and the only thing I disagree with you about is your comment that this photo is not brilliant. This photo is in fact BRILLIANT and worth every point of a 7.6 dream score :) !

This is NOT a food challenge; your task is to shoot the stuff you use to PREPARE your food. Have fun!
cant see anywhere in the challenge description that you shouldnt actually have any food in it ... i find it quite strange really, the way some ppl will just about look for something to find in an entry that doesnt fit and then say it DNMC ... and then mark you down ... oh well ... i reckon their weird attitude would pass over into their real lives and they'd be seeing all sort'v negative things around them that arent really there!!! ...
anyway marac ... i reckon this is just the best image .. you've taken an excellent photograph and processed it with style ... i love your imaginative approach and the humour ...
and congratulations on a great place in the challenge despite the 'do gooders' who arent actually doing good at all !!

You may have recieved some 1's because the challenge specifically said this is NOT a food challenge and to use just kitchen ware. I was not one of those voters BTW.

Sorry, I just really have no taste for selective desaturation unless it´s really very originally done with a sense of purpouse (wich I don´t see often and sorry, I don´t see in this picture) so keep in mind I am biased, if you like this just ignore silly old me. I am not that against it I would vote low just because of that but the shot is what I would call average so I voted a 4 and at least thought I should explain why.
