this is interesting image, what is it? endoscope image? or some sort of virus?

This is actually a picture of a "Koosh Ball" toy as seen though the end of a paper towel roll. Interesting, isn't it? [:)]

Just took this one on the weekend - thought it fit well (even though the closed date has passed.)

Hi Everybody, I just finished selecting the finalists, and wanted to say that, although I was a bit apprehensive about choosing "Darknesss" as subject, I'm now quite pleased that I did -- and quite impressed by all the submissions! So a definitive "thumbs up", and thank you, to all that participated!


And with so many great photos, selecting the finalists for the voting wasn't easy. I tried to put photographic quality, creativity, and "level of darkness" into the equation, plus having a wide range of rather different images, although sometimes it seemed that I might as well have flipped a coin...


Anyhow, thanks to "Whatsreal" the vote should be open soon, and I'm already looking forward to the next assignment ;-)


Ciao, Colin

Thanks Colin, looking forward to the finalists you have chosen! Let the voting begin!

Hello Colin,


After the voting ends I would like to know your opinion of each photos (or at least of each of finalists)separately.





I hope you will be able to block some time for that





Thanks

As Colin said the excellent posts have been narrowed down a little to 8 finalists. You can vote in the first post in this thread between now and Thursday. Good job to all who participated.

Congrats tothe finalists!!! They are all fantastic! [Y]

strange.....when I view the hummingbird pic the tail is cut off, when I signed in toask why (it isn't in the original) it displayed correctly.


Any thoughts moderator?

I'm still seeing the one with the cut-off tail. If whatsreal putts the boundaries to 800p wide it will be fine.

Yeah Jan....that's what has me confused. The orig pic in the streamis 800, so how did he become cut off when placed in the finals?

I was stupid, I didn't sign in, no wonder I couldn't vot.


anyways, I guess people here are more like dog than hummingbird or whatever[;)]


good luck MattG! and everybody else!

Congratulations MattG!


The photo of the dog is really a nice play on darkness, with both the subject, and background being very ... dark.


On to the next round ;-)


Regards, Colin

Yep congratulations to MattG!!! [Y]


Looking forward to the next assignment [:D] Please make it quick, I have summer break so I have quite some time to put into a new assignment [:P]

congratulations MattG....good looking pic and DOG.


Next subject?


whoops....I noticed I inadvertently deleted my pic from flickr after reading theNiknonian's portfolio suggestions. [:$]


It was Joel's fault I did this.......[:D]

Thanks Everyone! I am very close to choosing the next topic. It's between two and I like them both of course.

Beingthe over-the-top dog lover that I am, congrats to the model (and photographer)! [:D] I hope your model is going to get a terrific new toyout of this!

Denise

Your Victory was well deserved. I actually liked yours the best too!
