Hey, we both picked the right color for this challenge lol. That IS a pretty pendant and I like how you used the mossy background to enhance the colors.

Creepy Dog! I like the way you processed it to really bring out his mean eyes. I wonder if you added a little more contrast if it would really give it a more dramatic feel. Just a thought. I bet this a the nicest dog and he's getting a bad rap from this shot.. LOL

Oh. Bruce_the_Robert, "Only then to be one piece of the discovery" really gets to me. Never thought of an historical dimension, of the incredible pretension of all "great" civilization. Thomas King, in his relatively recent Massey Lectures talks about the difference between stories, or story, in N. American Native culture and in Western civilization which he says is based on an either/or logic; I would add also on a "thing" logic.
And JerseyGenie, the suggestion of "theatrical mask," is brilliant. Also putting us closer to Japanese and other Asian traditions as well as Native ones. Transformation is a great theme.
I am moved.

Edit to correct name.

Yes, pretty sure it does have a tilt; remember wondering how/if I might crop it, but just wanted only so much/just enough dock and line detail.

I liked your entry (and the pairs of trees and lamps with just the one guy) but this has a nifty kicky feel to it.

LOL! I get a kick out of your notes. I do that too, sometimes, just play until I get tired of playing then stop. I like the texture but maybe a bit more subtly applied and I'd like to see it lightened just a tad. I took it into PS and added a bit on the light end with levels - gives it a completely different feel. Try it and see what you think.

It really does have excellent, rich contrast. It may just be a picture of a thing, but it does demostrate the power of B&W.

From the thumb I wasn't sure about the processing, but now that I've opened it up, I quite like it. It somehow makes the dog more threatening. Very nice idea of how to handle the shot.

Excellent look on the dog's face. I would almost like to see this in a closer crop. Fantastic shot - very dream like. And I can sense the apprehension, which is underscored by the title.

I would go for a wider shot from a lower angle, depending on whats on the distance, but the tones look very nice, I like rainy days for b&w.
