no prob. one of the things i love about this team is how we get eachothers backs. i have had more words of encouragement since i joined this team than i had the year i was on this site before i joined team suck.
never feel down. even failure is a huge step forward.
love Shadows Save the Day... the composition and colors are awesome.

Well, I suppose the odd comment of 'out of focus', 'blurred' or 'snapshot' might scrape the tender surface of my wounded pride, but on the other hand, if something so holistically evocative of so much were to be, for some, a sort of Total Perspective Vortex then really, I'm not entirely sure which is worse...

Talk about oof and sucking - for the pet portrait challenge I accidently left a neutral density filter on my camera and wondered why it was so dark and hard to focus.
 Embrace the blur.

I just had a brainstorm of a For Sale shot that, I hope and pray, will at least net me loads of comments. With any luck, it'll even be a good picture and get a decent score. With a little more luck, I'll avoid being skinned alive for the content. :)
I hope the low number of entries stays put!

i have an idea for "For Sale". it will either be viewed as being very clever or terribly offensive. either way, i'm shooting the damned thing and throwing it in there to see what happens.
after a run of shooting architecture, i'm going to get back to using my brains and creativity to compete.

Thanks. Unfortunately you may have been the only one (besides me) that loved the shadows, most everyone else seemed to think that it didn't fit the category light on white. They have no vision ... right?! That's the way. |

No, just playing around with curves again. I really don't know how to use HDR but some of those shots I have seen are really cool. |

My "Death" entry is currently at 4.79.... pretty standard suck territory for me.

| I'm just hoping for a score over five for my pet. Though with 226 entries already the hopes are dropping. Maybe I should title it "pet for sale" and stick it in For Sale instead :D |

The "Man" that would be a good challenge. I would like to see what everyone thinks the "Man" looks like.

Too funny! I was just about to say "I bet the man looks like Larus" and post that pic! Or that he looks like DrAchoo and post the one where he's trying very unsuccessfully to look like a, well, I'm not sure what he was going for...

I have two possible for sale entries and a dilemma: kitsch or social realism?

I like social realism so that means everybody else will like kitsch. |

Wow am I ever good at this!!! Ok, so I shot in haste but still thought it was a compositionally interesting pic. Oh well. Sucks to be me. Maybe that should be my new site name...sux2bme...
btw noraneko, you really think my Octopussy! is OOF? Maybe I should get my eyes checked...
oh yeah, for some odd reason my cat is now on strike so I had to take pix of someone else's pets. (Would've submitted a pic of my bf for pets but just watch, I'd get DQ'd for THAT too!) |

I don't suppose you could encapsulate both at once?

I love kitsch - but don't trust me.
We all say go for it.
