What, you don't like having this challenge suggestion associated as something you'd see at Worth1000?

FWIW - I didn't look to see WHO suggested it at the time. I was pointing out the November trend in heavy photo-shopped (Expert rules) challenges. More directed toward the site in general, not a specific DPC member.

Has nothing to do with Worth1000 - very rarely do I go there. In fact I have never gone there unless directed by a link here.

Regardless, it's HERE, it's a 2-week challenge, and it's gonna be FUN :-) I wish a bunch of people would just go ahead and let their hair down and enter into the spirit of the thing even if they "don't have a chance": this kind of stuff is just fun to do. Gawd knows I've entered plenty of expert challenges with work that doesn't come within a mile of Christophe's or Samantha's, and it's never bothered me because (let me repeat myself here) I HAD FUN!

I'll be giving it a try. Guess another zoo trip is in order!

But -- I don't have a dog anymore -- I just have cats!! Why not birds and cats!?!

Oh wait -- that would be bats... :)

How about a Wusband challenge?

Some people see an *alarming* trend in HEAVY PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGES. Obviously these are SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHERS. No fun allowed--& stay offa their lawn. If you want to have fun, you have to go to some other less SERIOUS site where they let you walk on the grass.

Hey. I actually LIKE the grass here at DPC. It's worth 2000 of the other's site's grasses :-)

Me too. The grass here is definitely greener!

Dude, did someone say grass..........;p

If your idea of "fun" photography is putting a birds head on a dog or a dogs head on a bird, have at it. Quality stuff for sure.

Now ... as for green, there have been at least 6 challenges with a green theme, however, haven't seen any with a grass theme. Perhaps it's about time. :-)

I saw the post I linked to when linked at another site I peruse. I thought it was just a cool, fun idea and the ones they had on that post were fairly well done. First thought I had was "DPCer's could do better" as there are some extremely talented people on this site and then I thought "DPCer's are just game enough to have fun with this". I know I am just not good enough with editing to pull off an entry. I certainly will take shots for it (Mom just got a new puppy which is as cute as a button) and I live in an area saturated with birds of all types and sizes. I wish my editing skills were better as I would love to enter. But I certainly will enjoy all the entries and have fun voting, commenting, and I am sure laughing.

Ah...thank you! I apologize, I am bad with names. I too love their collective works. Such inspiration, imagination, and skill.

AND -- I actually beat Christophe in an expert editing challenge once, so miracles do happen! :)

Personally, I'm less and less interested in the expert editing challenges. I used to enjoy them more. However, I still do them. because each time I do, I seem to learn something that helps me in the regular editing in which I am interested. I keep saying it, but knowledge is power, people!

Ok, NOW I'm worried.

I think I figured out my past mistakes. Pretty sure it'll be safe this time.


You do not realize what we have here! In our very hands, we have the cosmic force of
creation itself. In our very hands, we can make life, take it apart, put it
together again, MOLD it like putty. - Dr. Cyclops

Yeah, for a real challenge this should have been run under the Minimal Editing rules ...

I could have suggested Cats wearing tights but I didn't. I think that is a plus in itself.

I know I may never get a chance to win any of the challenges. But when I do enter I just enjoy trying to Challenge myself in doing what I can. But the best thing about it is that I can learn how to do things I never did before. This is my CHALLENGE.

Moriarty definitely would NOT approve.
