My entry
Got a lot of comments on the color. Just wanted to post the original (except for resize) to show that although I did tweak the color a bit, the snail really was colorful before pp.
evidently alot of people thought mine was set up...
but it was just happenstance, my family was volunteering at the Wall that day..if I had set it up, I'd make that lady move her head!!
I considered going down the blurry flower route again, but only shot this on the 29th and didn't finish processing & realise I had a good one until days later ...
Not that either of these (nor my submission actually) was generally a good FS, these were two more outtakes from our session. I had gone to Daves specifically with DPL album cover in mind. His kids were running around with mine as I was shooting and both of his took turns sitting with him. An impromptu family shoot sort of. I believe these images ended up as being Mothers Day gifts for his wife.
Doc, you picked the right one.
Joe, I like your outtake better for the unusualness of it and the stories it begs. Your entry was, of course, much more DPCish.
Goran, I LOVED your entry. Has much more energy than your outtake!
Don, both are excellent.
Nicolas, I don't think you know how to take a bad picture.
Elvis, tough choice! I liked the entry but the others certainly don't suck.
I'm not unhappy with my scores at all but I thought it was cute and funny to have mom's butt in this picture, it gave a reason why the cub was getting wet...but apparently people would just have liked a boring centered cub better. I'm way off on what looks good I guess. Oh well, thanks anyway to all who voted on my image.
