 i wasnt feeling that crash hot this morning, and had to go to a parents/kids group ...
the kids were outside playing in the DIRT, so obviously i thought of the 'DIRT' challenge, coz i'm obsessed with dpc ...
seeing the 400D is with me all the time, i whipped it out straight away and took a few shots ... and not that many coz i wasnt feeling switched on ...
i was going to use some dirty sheep for this challenge, but when i downloaded the shots from this morning i thought buggar the sheep ..... sorry for swearing ...

these are the sheep

three idiots!


i'm happier with this entry than with any of my others ... i should get more than 5.5000 this time ...

thank you everyone for your positive comments

So, I know this is an old entry, but it really caught my attention. I love the depiction of joy that's implied solely by the dirty hands. Not to mention the dichotomy of the hands and anglically clean face. Priceless!

Haunting image... The juxtaposition of the ultra clean, pure, innocent face against the dirty, vulgar, dark hands is masterful.

Roz, how in the world did I miss this! Wow! What an amazing job you did on this. Jeeeeeez, I feel like I can reach out and wipe the dust off those fingers -- like they are right here in the room with me.

Way to GO!!!!!!!!!

Very cute. Like the contrast between the bright face and the slightly dirty hands. Skin on the face has a sort of odd feel to it - can't put my finger on it but a cute shot none the less. Back to bump you to 8.

Face looks too neat imaged for my taste. Where's the texture? It's there in his hands but not the face. I find this to be a big distraction.

Great contrast betwen dity fingers and clean face in the background. Good job on making the eyes pop without looking fake.

Did you let'em lick the fingers afterwards, or is it cocoa and water? Super contrast, great emphasis on Dirteee-fingers.

Love the contrast of clean and dirty. Like the way the dirt is the focal point. Maybe crop out the shirts? My favorite in the "Dirt" challenge. Nice job.

I love this. There are two distinct parts to this shot. Very fine and very gritty. Good job. 9

Rosemary's baby? I think the dirt's more real than the innocence, so there's 6
