Challenge: Rope (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Minolta DiMAGE 7i
Location: My Home Studio
Date: Aug 22, 2006
Aperture: F/4
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/15
Galleries: Humorous, Still Life
Date Uploaded: Aug 22, 2006

 Multiple Adjustment Layers, including Hue/Saturation-Difference Setting, Deep Yellow & Sepia Filters, Brightness/Contrast, Equalize, Desaturate Yellow-Increase Brightness, Levels, USM, Merge Visible (a couple of times,) Resize, Save for Web. This was loads of FUN because (as many know by now) I love puns,...and visual puns are some of the best. This ol' world is way too serious (especially right now) for me not to try to snatch a smile from underneath the surface of as many faces as I can.

Way to work in the old joke! Cool rope, knot, and background. I think it would be better with the plastic? thing cropped out.

Nice picture, a darker background would make it unbeatable though.

I think if you would have just gone with 'A Frayed Knot' it would certainly be a candidate for a ribbon...really...'fraid so! Still...I love it...10!

Very poor choice of background for this shot. It is extremely difficult to see your subject clearly, and that doesn't bode well for the score.

Cool idea but the background competes with the image too much.
