This is as close of a 24 hour warning as I'll be able to make, so 28 HOUR WARNING! (I think I've learned my lesson as far as DSLR SC topics go. If there is a next time I'll do something like "Lit by the Sun...or a Lightbulb...or a Flash")

Not a biggie, summer has hit and alot of folks who are usually on have been busy;)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand...Done. Thanks for your submissions (meaning no more), I'll have them judged for tomorrow. Just a preview of my judging: great work everyone.

[Nistelrooydude]

Ok here goes, you guys are making this hard on me.

And the winners are:

1. Monty28428: Great, very spooky shot. Do you want me to get you in touch with Al Hitchcock?

2. SQuiP: Very interesting portrait, I've never seen anything done like that.

3. Soadrocksever: Great compostition, the tall grass really makes the shot.


Thanks for all your entries. Once again, great job everyone, they were all fantastic photos!

[monty28428]

Wow -- Thanks Nistelrooydude! I think I'll pass on meeting Al Hitchcock for a few more decades :-)

Really great photos everybody and I hope to see your entries for the next challenge!

[SQuiP]

Thanks Nistelrooy! Monty, great shot - the bird's eye is quite creepy :)

hands down Monty's was my favorite. Loved it!! I also loved Flo's as my 2nd fav...it was my fav until Monty's "Nevermore Not Exactly A Raven" pic.

mine? I just had some fun in PS with a train trestle support. I like the geometry and did debate if I should have used the clor version only with more contrast or a greyscale. I know not everyone likes the such pics, but I enjoy the geometry. Plus that support is almost 100-years old and still strong as ever. Just amazing.

Congrats to Monty!!

You all ROCK! Congratz!!:D
