This is a shot of my friend playing in the mud. It did not turn out very good but after adjusting the brightness I decided I really liked it so that is all I did in edit was adjust the bright ness.

Its true I was going for a more abstract picture I did not intend for it to be so blurry but after I looked at it more the more I liked it so nobody (well a couple) quite got the idea but thats ok I am not putting to much effort these days to winning a ribbon, its just for the fun of photograhy!

Congrats on the Oobie. Certainly a different view on the art. I gave it a one and appreciate it more now the limitations of the challenge have been removed.... challenges are so limiting ;-)
now this, i like. it reminds somwhat of a trick we used to do in art college. if you tear a polaroid off its backing as soon as it's developed, you can slap it down on some nice watercolour paper, run it through a press (or just stand on it), and you get an image very close to this in appearance. i'd love to see this 10 feet high on a gallery wall. a big gallery.
the cmposition works really well, and his positioning is wonderful - you can feel the pause to get the breath, holding hte wet arms out form his sides. great work, well done in doing what you wanted, rather than what you know will score well.
I don't understand how the quality of this picture could be so bad. Is it a picture of a newspaper picture? Hmmm Sorry it doesn't work here. Better luck next time.
You'll have a hard time scoring high with an image like this on this site, but there are a few of us who appreciate and enjoy the abstract, artsy quality of it. Not really a sense of action, so the applicability to the challenge is shaky without the title, but it is otherwise a very interesting shot.
I'm not sure what to say about this photo. The framing and composition are excellent. With that said, the noise level is horrible. There is no detail in the picture anywhere. Was this a mistake, on purpose, or a young photographer learning a new camera?
