Ha! Same here. I much preferred my advanced edited image but either way it's a boring shot.

Based on this post, nowhere. It's not even submitted. :)

Hey! Don't out my top contender here! Those post-its are EXTREMELY artistic. I'm quite proud of them, actually.

That was the most agonizing submission to date! In the end, I chose the one not that I liked best, but that I thought would be the most interesting.

The one I rejected had water drops, green bugs, pentacle shaped leaves, spiders with green teeth, and they were all dancing in a wine glass. It was awesomeness personified in a macro.

So you can only imagine how cool the other one must be! Looking forward to your votes!


At least to didn't serve it all on a bed of green post-it notes atop a light box. Nice restraint.

I believe color shifting is legal in basic as long as it is aplied to the entire image. Show us your snots


Snot gonna happen

With the widespread adoption of wind turbines as electric generators, I'm thinking of starting a business where the wind farm can call me in case of persistent still air -- I'll be there within two hours and take off my lens cap ... ;-)

Almost came out of retirement for this challenge because I love shooting jumping spiders which have wonderfully irridescent green jaws. Of course I had seen two large ones the day before I noticed the challenge and now I can't find one to save my life... :(


I'm so glad!! Because your jumping spiders are awesome and we wouldn't have stood a chance...

Or maybe you can't find one to save theirs... :)

I am trying something different and not sure if folks would like it! they might say DNMC! But I think I did good with the shot, praising my-self ;)

It makes me green thinking about all the bugs, wine glasses, and water drops I'm going to see. And yet again, it makes me green ( with envy ) thinking of all these good technical photos that I, as a mere mortal, am not yet capable of shooting.

So, does "green as your primary color" mean the subject should be predominantly green, or could the frame be predominantly green (i.e. the background) with a complimentary, non-green, subject?

Don't eat beans or onions the day before.

Excellent advice for first dates, too. :-)

Squirrels = Pests = Bugs. :)

I'm with Melethia here. Looking forward to see the results, and I don't mind a bug or drop in a green wine glass :)

Freudian slip or intended pun! ;-)

(not a bad idea, though... a macro of green vomit... it certainly would be different...)

In the triumvirate of DPC cliches that often get mentioned - Insect Macros - Water drops - Wine glasses- i actually really enjoy insect macros a lot. I love insects so that helps. Never seen a boring insect. I also really like a lot of the water drops as well. I admire the kind of zen-like patience that those photographers use to get the images and the endless patterns and zen like physics that appear.

I hate wine glass shots though. Those things should be drunk out of not photographed.

I really don't care what people enter as long as it's not a water drop or wine glass. They make me....well fall asleep.
