 Are these things called view finders? I got hung up in traffic in San Francisco after the Blue Angels show. Decided to pull over and take some shots at Vista Point by the Golden Gate Bridge.

Post processing includes levels adjustment, increase saturation, Neat Image, USM, Neat Image again, cropped, stroke @ 10 pixels.

I really like this image but I'm not sure how this will be taken by the voters.

:D

Hey, nice, you snuck over 6.0. I wasn't sure you were going to make it, but am happy that you did. Too bad it didn't sneak up to 20th. I think I did vote this challenge slightly differently than most. I was less inclined to give the "faces" pictures high scores. It seems like people thought they were just fine, so my bad. :)

Love how the time you chose to shoot enhanced your conept, the color cast and the moon, the sky's gradient...

A little too much blue in the shot for me...it seems to ahve bled on everything. But a true personification shot (which I appreciate) and your focus, clarity and composition are well done. Nice image --7--

This is a great photo. Is the blue colouring natural or did you edit it afterwards? Either way, it really compliments the subject - great!

Wonderfully humerous photo, elevated to personification by clever title.

I know some people will have left a comment about it being a face which I really dont mind as far as I can tell it is still personification. Focus is perfect nice color and subject *8*

works nicely. processing reminds me of Wolf Camera's prints. The blue cast is just a bit too strong for me.
