This one, even though you've got pieces of towel stuck in your cheese grater, it's still got the most incredible color. And besides, those little fuzzies give it extra texture :-)

I agree Point. I am quite shocked with the results to this one.
I am so excited about the new one I am actually in the 6s right now. (don't mind me, I'm still a newbie).

This was my highest rated challenge! Congrats to the top 3... and to everyone! Great job!

I have an OUTTAKE, that I wouldn't mind some comments on. I didn't use it (1) because I thought it was too dark, esp. down near the bottom right corner, and (2) because I thought it was too photoshopped. I used curves (practicing!) on the whole image. Read the comment I left under the photo, too.
What would you have scored this?
Thanks.

While I like the outtake for it's psychedelic characteristics, Karen, I think the one you posted was 'bellissimo!' :)

Which shot do you think I should have submitted?

Karen...personally I love seeing effects like this one. I've played around with that as well but I think you did well in choosing the one you submitted for this site. I would have rated it higher than most I think, but a lot of folks don't like photoshopping here... (my thoughts are, I think it makes it your own in a different way).

Thanks as well for the comments left in the other forum thread about my bucket....I read your comment and I left a comment on yours too! :)

Thanks, Kollin!
I gave your submission a 9. Thought it was creative/different. I do, however, like "redsideview"! :-)

aelith: I like potter's tools B&W, and section.
I don't understand why they look pixelated though. Is it how pbase loaded them?

Karen --

Just wanted to let you know how good I think Panache looks with the adjusted curves/levels. Beautiful :)

Thanks! I owe alot of those corrections to Brumos! (from his advice)
What do you think of the outtakes: "Look to the Sea" and "Untitled"?
Just curious.

I was just looking at the results for "Not As Fluffy..." and reading the wonderfully positive comments.

Even granted differences in taste, I am astonished that a dozen or more people voted this is a 3 or 2! But no negative comments, not even to be "helpful."

What's that all about??

I will go out on a limb and say "the world turns differently for some". A matter of taste? Historically the top photos have had this occur.

You mean out of 269 people you don't think there are gonna be some...ahem...differing opinions :-)

I actually can appreciate someone saying they just hate a picture on a personal level more than giving a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo.

I mean, my daughter hates, despises...cannot even smell hamburger but loves steak. Whats THAT all about?

Many thanks also to those of you who took the time to offer helpful critique. I value it highly. As the weeks go by I am more and more appreciative of what a great learning site this is.
Psssst.....EVERYONE....Thank YOU!
