 Ok, I know this one is lousy and shouldn't be shown to anyone, anywhere, ever, I know it's boring and unattractive and yes, I know I'm gonna be in the bottom 3 entries, very possibly wielding the brown....but come on, a screaming-faced stone! I may be a bit daft but this struck me as being pretty damn nifty, hehe. I do so love humerous shots, unpopular though they may be. I found this little guy on the beach while I was out getting a shot for another challenge.

Editing included cropping, resizing, cloning out a small imperfection, sharpen and then burning just a tad in the hollows of the 'eyes' to emphasise them a little.

I rather like this shot ... indeed who could resist a screaming face stone? I think cropping it more on the left, taking it right up to the side of the 'face' would have made it more dramatic.

Interesting but seems dull. I might have not made the flash go off... (the reflecting light seems to make it unnatural.

the image seems to be very dark with little contrast in shades or tones to really emphasize the O created out of nature - but it is a very cool rock
