 Glued crayons to a canvas.

Heated them to melt with a heat gun.

Then, I shot them.

:D

I really dislike Minimal challenges.

At least let us crop, please.

I think that it was appropriate for the topic but unfortunately deja vu at DPC.

It's funny that you express a desire to crop in your notes. I share that desire for Minimal Editing, but with this image, I actually think of any cropping decision that wouldn't weaken rather than strengthen your presentation. I hope you saved the original creation! I bet it makes a fun conversation piece now.

Oh, and you can process your outtakes to your heart's content and turn them into acrylic prints ;-)
