I'm a sucker for cute and furry -- I just loved your kittens in boxes.

*visit family and hope they have a very unique collectible doll - helps to do this the week of the Doll challenge. :-)

So let me see if I have this straight;

keep it simple, over process a shallow DOF shoehorn of a cute and furry naked women in a big fish tank in Iceland, over process using HDR for a perfect 10!

(Sorry no kids in this image)

:-D

Real simple. Just give your camera to Irene. :P

DO NOT use nekkid women....that is a recipe for disaster.....especially as you have the nudie police on here.

What happened to the drops? We must have drops.

Not if they are the furry kind in big fish tanks in Iceland. I believe if an auoroa is in the shot it will zap the nudie police if they tried to vote it low.

Yeah, I also wanted to say abduct IreneM but I didn't want to poison your innocent minds ;)

He, he... I've hired Josh Holloway as a bodyguard. I feel safe now, can't say the same about him though ;-D

It's even more simple: just be sure to have a close-up of at least one eye in the shot or any sort of liquid, preferrably both.

I'm only a few hours away, is the shipping charge more reasonable for me than the folks in Europe?

Not sure about that. Best I've managed with a shoehorn is the low 5's.

In the spirit of suggestion number one I have simplified even further. It's called continuous improvement.

Edit: Actually I realized the order might need to be reversed.......

just shut up!!! you had me at naked women...you had me at naked women....

Everyone forgot silhouettes against a sunset...preferably a naked lady silhouetted against an Icelandic sunset, with a lone drop of water falling off the end of an elegant hand, reflecting in its surface all the mysteries of the universe...

Why don't we just clone IreneM? :-)

The whole move to Iceland thing is a good idea, but in reality, I think those Iceland photogs are quite simply just very, very good at what they do. Now can you imagine Irene in Iceland?? I shudder to think... :-)

Yep... she'd be mortal again. Frozen water doesn't splash. ;-P

Just drop the kids into the tank next to the furry nekked woman... Tah-Dah! There's your kids, your splash, and your water drops.

I'd LOVE to go to Iceland.... but I'm off to Berchtesgaden the week after next for some mountain trekking, so that will have to do in the meantime ;-)
