Dirt Bag

Yep, yep. Very clever. Dirt, plus a cliche to boot. :D I like this very much, the only thing that seems off a bit is the background. Not sure why, but it doesn't seem to fit this theme that well. Obviously, JMO. :P Good luck in the challenge.

Dirt- Nothing More....Nothing Less

Very nice abstract. Interesting color tone as well. Only minor complaint is the far right edge should have been cloned back just 10 pixels or so. Good luck in the challenge.

A little help here?

:D Really getting into this aren't you? He-he. Hope this makes the front page as you've earned it with a well thought out and technically sound photo. Nicely done.

The Dirt Dweller -- A Portrait Of A Worm In His Environment

Wonderful tone and texture in this photo. This is an image I can appreciate. May not be glamorous enough for the masses when it comes to scoring, but it's a well thought out shot. Only minor negative for me on this is I think you should have moved the camera a little to the right as the bottom right corner of the photo is falling OOF. Bottom left is sharp. Of course that is assuming you didn't crop the left side off. Upper right doesn't matter as much because the eye isn't drawn into that corner like it is the bottom left. Yikes. That's a lot of verbiage for a "minor" complaint! :D Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.

Zebra 3

Hi. Just wanted to say this image (from the thumbnail view) made me take a look. For quite a while I was stumped as to what I was seeing in the OOF area to the left. At first I thought the ear of the OOF zebra was an eye and the optical illusion was quite compelling! :D

Cool shot - some of the others you've posted are nice also, but no time to slow down much right now to browse. Take care.

You certainly got the impact you were looking for with this lighting I think. It's very nicely done. Good luck.

Ok. Admit it, you were just jumping up and down with glee to be able to do this setup weren't you? :D I have no idea if it fits James Bond or not, but it's certainly a well done "splash" type shot. Good luck.

Nice work with the setup. Certainly mimics the James Bond look just fine. Something funny with the post-processing I think as there is a distinct shadow around the man. Most likely from feathering a selection and getting some bleedover from the prior background? Just a guess. Anyway, good luck with the challenge.

A View to a Kill

Some potential here with the idea. The pupil and iris are clear, but the remainder of the photo is a bit noisy/grainy. Just not "clean" enough for the "wow" factor IMO. The lines above and below the pupil are somewhat distracting as well. All JMO of course. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
