If you make all that the background for a macro of a flea on a puppy's nose I think you'll have it covered ...

Don't forget to include the woman in the scarf with the colored pencils too.

taking a shot of a naked babe tends to do well here as well...just title it to fit any challenge, as long as theres flesh :)

( or seal the deal with the naked babe, puppy, cute kid, all standing in shallow water at sunset...)

I'm totally with you man! Nothing wrong with going for the crowds once in a while; it's really the best way to judge if you are a good judge of how others judge photographs. Might even learn a thing or two in the process. Just don't get too sucked into it. :)

Once you see my photos come off the frontpage I've had my dpc ribbon kick for a good while. expect a bit more of the good old fun and unusual stuff from me soon.

I was starting to do quite well with images that were personal and my own that I liked much more than any of my ribbon winners but it just got too frustrating when they started coming in 4th and 5th place. I was so near ribbon territory that I could taste it! Now that my burning need for acceptance has been met I can move back into my little hole.

Haha...this will be fun. It's kinda like...I'm going out of my own box in order to be inside the box. I played around today with some shots and I gotta admit, taking cliche pictures is harder than it looks. For me at least...

I'd actually paint the rose with the light, instead of using another source to light it.

Hmm, now I'm intrigued. Never tried it, but I think I must now.
