OK, my entry of evildoer pic won't win any awards for composition or style (I took some much better ones of the perpetrator, before he decided I was a candidate for lunch), however these pics do meet the criteria for entry quite well. This is merely the most recent critter that has tried to chow down on me, whilst I am on a shoot by the way.

To set the scene, This vulture was initially quite accomodating and posed for some portraits without any fuss. The trouble started when I wandered off to shoot another bird in a nearby tree, I was concentrating on my new subject when I felt something chewing / pecking at my ankle. Looking down, I spotted baldy here trying to get a meal out of my lower leg, he soon realised that he wasn't going to get through my jeans and started on my shoes, then moved onto undoing my laces so I was wandering around struggling to keep my shoes on (I value my toes!). After trying to pull on my, by now undone, laces and drag me back to his lair, he eventually quit chasing me around (this after about 30 minutes of pecking, chewing and tugging). However, any time I stood still for more than a couple of minutes he would start sneaking up on me again, so I had to grab my shots of other birds and keep moving on.

How do you define evil? I define evil, in some aspects, as a provacateur. Someone or some thing which not only helps you perpetuate an addiction, but helps itself to your hard earned dough. Doesn't matter if the rent is due, the mortgage payment is late. Whether or not the family or dogs have eaten doesn't matter one iota to evil.

I give you evil personified. His name is Benji.

http://www.pbase.com/mdjak/image/72363820.jpg

[T.D.]

Love it, Doc! Give some context. This isn't actually at B&H is it?

[JimAskew]

The evil of speed!

You dont need books to make great shots....well done :D

The evil of speed!

Although this shot is of a car wreck, my eyes are drawn to the cross hanging on the rear view mirror. Very poignant shot Jim.

Thanks. Someone was watching over the young lady driving the car. She walked away from this without any injury. The brand new Lexus was totaled as were the two parked cars she hit. Her car completely rolled over. This was in my neighborhood...speed limit is 25 MPH.

The deer, having had enough of open season on their species, revolted... hitting hardest the very place that was responsible for their slaughter...

The herd quickly overran the place, some even launching through the wood panelled walls to get to the hunters...

No, not really.....I find that image grosses me out, but I do not feel any fear, just sadness...:rolleyes:

No doubt......what is not clear is how was that you were threatened by it personally. Sorry compadre, but the contest standards need to be enforced: REJECTED.

Maria, don't tell me those are your kids.:( Nasty little darlings, aren't they?;)

[MDJAK]

Oh, I get it, now I don't even rate a comment on my entries.

That's okay, I'm going to confront the evil in the bathroom as I help my plumber install new toity bowls.

As to the context of the B&H picture, it was during my 4 day workshop I took recently on Raw workflow. At most seminars in N.Y. B&H, and sometimes others, set up shop. They bring about 20 items, their laptop, have show special prices, and sell products to the attendees by the truck load.

I resisted all temptation, but did try to place an order for the table cloth.

Your attached image collage is obnoxious. Remove it now, or I'm going to tattle on you.:p

[PetKal]

Your attached image collage is obnoxious. Remove it now, or I'm going to tattle on you.:p
I guess it bothers ya because you do not know who he is. The same goes for my avatar.;)
Your world is much smaller than you know, Yankee Doodle.:evil:

[MDJAK]

I know exactly who it is.

IT'S YOU.

[PetKal]

I know exactly who it is.

IT'S YOU.

You better stop insulting me otherwise I'll have a talk with your very pretty wife. That could be doubly dangerous to you, my friend.:evil:

[Phil Light]

I was in the wild taking picutres when all of a sudden this "THING" started charging me. Sorry for the poor image quality but I just snapped the picture and ran for my life! It had evil in it's eyes! The lady in the second shot wasn't so lucky. It was horrible. I still can't talk about it.:(

[condyk]

Small Doggie or Giant with big camera? Or, perhaps a fat Rat?

:eek:
heres your New Year's gift >>>
a scanned in film shot of daughter ,its not a very good one

she is much nicer then the shot shows
picture is a bit wonky with the shading and distortions plus the colours
everything........ is slightly off
but you'll get the drift

other shot ... shows son (in black vest)
its not my shot of him. I like it
you can see the copyright all over
and you can see they are older then those little darlings in the other shots
also they were taken a few years ago



http://www.pbase.com/image/72397332/original.jpg

Oh Marie, poor dear, you forgot to focus the shot before you hit the self timer and ran back to get in the frame.

Is that your mother in the pink?

;)

[condyk]

Sweet ... them pixies up top and the princesses down below :-) I don't like kids that much, tho' they like me for some daft reason :rolleyes:

Okay, okay, so the puppy really wasn't all that evil, and the sky was hastily added in Photoshop :rolleyes:.

REJECTED. The puppy shot is very nice, however, it is not threatening at all.
Additionally, this contest is for genuine photography, not photomontage. We are terribly sorry, please try again.

[asabet]

Sorry, I didn't realize this was a real contest with rules and all. If I can dig up the original shot, you really don't think that puppy is evil or threatening in the least? He was hu-uge, and I was so close he almost drooled on my 10-22mm lens (at 10mm).

its a killer of a winner

Marie thanks for the kind words and for verifying the true terror apparent in that pup's eyes!

Happy New Year to you both!!

[Tandem]

Cricky, this one is a mean brute. He's the leader of the pack and he is hungry for a meal and looking at me like I'm the main course.

Taken during a tricycle trip up Mount Evans in Colorado back in '98.

[Tandem]

Another shot of the evil spawn in action. Look how he sends his Lieutenant up front to slow traffic as his henchmen get ready to devour their helpless prey.

[T.D.]

Nice shots, Tandem, but I have to share a shot with you when I truly faced evil. I came around the corner and was face to face with the cousins of your shots -- and I had nothing to protect me -- no safety of the vehicle, nothing.

It was sheer terror. (Later the table was turned and it was shear terror for them!)

I submit to you Billy, and his Heartless Gang of Kids:

Did you follow for very long? I'm sure they "produced" some evil! Hope you missed it! :lol:

OK, my entry of evildoer pic won't win any awards for composition or style (I took some much better ones of the perpetrator, before he decided I was a candidate for lunch), however these pics do meet the criteria for entry quite well. This is merely the most recent critter that has tried to chow down on me, whilst I am on a shoot by the way.

To set the scene, This vulture was initially quite accomodating and posed for some portraits without any fuss. The trouble started when I wandered off to shoot another bird in a nearby tree, I was concentrating on my new subject when I felt something chewing / pecking at my ankle. Looking down, I spotted baldy here trying to get a meal out of my lower leg, he soon realised that he wasn't going to get through my jeans and started on my shoes, then moved onto undoing my laces so I was wandering around struggling to keep my shoes on (I value my toes!). After trying to pull on my, by now undone, laces and drag me back to his lair, he eventually quit chasing me around (this after about 30 minutes of pecking, chewing and tugging). However, any time I stood still for more than a couple of minutes he would start sneaking up on me again, so I had to grab my shots of other birds and keep moving on.
