Neat pictures I've taken - Page 63

The contest is at a local fair, you say? I'd go with the butterfly. The ladybug photo will only be truly appreciated by photography afficianados, and I'm betting this is being judged by a bunch of volunteers from the local Elks club or something.

Your are going to do some cropping to the butterfly picture, right? It will gain a bit more impact if you do. You could probably add some appeal to the lady bug if you played with the brightness /contrast/mid-tone too. Too bad you cant submit both.

dmg, be careful. Before we're done with you here at the cellar, we will have profiled and characterized each of the judges, performed market research with people with similar attributes as the judges, and compiled an extensive report as to the outcome (plus or minus 1/2 percent.)

I like the ladybug. The butterfly is beautiful, yes, but the ladybug is fantastic.

Don't automatically assume the judges don't have an eye for art.

That's awesome, Shawnee! Quick...call Zogby and Rasmussen. We need numbers people!

I know I'm

. So, I am not going to say another word until I have decided.

You're not beating a cross-eyed sleeping cat wearing a saddle, not at all!

Let us all know how it turns out.

Isn't that the one you posted on the previous page?

Different cropping...?

His gums look inflamed - better see a dentist.

Cake and shrimp.

Scriveyn · 08-16-2010, 01:21 AM

Very appetizing appetizers

xoxoxoBruce · 08-16-2010, 01:35 AM

Yes they do, but the Friday Fries on the cake look like...

classicman · 08-16-2010, 08:10 AM

That is wonderful looking - Did you do tat yourself or ???

jinx · 08-16-2010, 10:31 AM

My mom has a cake lady... the fries has us laughing all day (and trying to avoid them when it was cut). Mom made the shrimps. None of my food was photogenic enough to bother with... pasta salad, more grilled peppers, sliders, dogs etc..
