Thank you everyone for the comments and votes. Didn't finish where I hoped but then again I never do. :(

I was really confused about what was meant by abstract but knew what I wanted...guess I should have used this in a different challenge. Looking to get it ready for sales so if you're interested keep an eye out.

very cute image, love his expression and your lighting.

Have you tried desaturating all but the bibs? Might not be enough of them to give the full effect but that is usually makes a really nice image.

absolutly beautiful! Love the colors, the placement, the sky..wow. The grass seems a little bright for these types of clouds but seeing as the light is coming from the left, it could be correct. Reminds me of home :(

Great job.

Still Standing

Comment:
and now I have that song stuck in my head.."Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did...Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid...I'm still standing after all this time..."

wonderful subject, you'd have a hard time getting me to leave a site like this. Not under your control but I wish there were more clouds in the sky. Not sure what it is but something about the area directly around the house is bothering me, seems like a fog or smoke but doesn't look right...nice picture anyway.

Just found this

Absolutly beautiful. I love the colors and the framing and how you have sharpness in just the right spots. I bet this looks stunning full size. Well done.

I am not voting on this image because I won't be able to do so with an open mind (and seems to be a few rules violations). I do not like the idea of you portraying military personnel (looks like Army) bagging someone in a seabag and looting. I don't know if you are trying to make a statement about something here but if you meant to stike a nerve (which is really the meaning of photography and art) you certainly did here. Military personnel (from all countries) are way too often seen in a bad light and don't need something like this completly unflattering image...enough said.

Oops!...I did it again

something very strange going on at his feet...or lack of feet. Stuff doesn't look right there. Also feel it would be better if he was like holding an x-ray to help the image of pulling the wrong tooth.
