1. OK

[intheflow]

2. That was hardly a machabre entry you put in there.

Sure, the "veins" in the title is reminiscent of gore, but really, Dude, I think you're mellowing with age.



:P

[alfredo]

3. I've not been myself lately. I have one of my eye, but I wasn't sure if

I had used it or not. What do you think? Is it disgusting enough?




I put olive oil on my skin to make it shiny. I sat the camera in my lap, bent over and let everything go slack.

[intheflow]

4. Nah, not scary.

But then I've been looking at your various self-portraits for a few years now. Maybe I just can't be scared any more? :shrug:

[alfredo]

5. Too old and broken down to be a badass.

[ET Awful]

17. Believe it or not, I did NOT see this before I entered mine

:P

[alfredo]

21. Mine is ugly, yours isn't. Yours is hopeful and bright. Mine tends to the

macbre.

6. Blue's "Midnight Blue" is beautiful

9. Thank you, Alfredo.

:) I have to find beauty in the raindrops this year, that's for sure.

[alfredo]

10. You seem to have the knack.

I've taken a break from beauty for my images, but I never take a break from enjoying it when I find it. Thanks.

7. Robb

Ohgod I love that shot.

[Robb]

12. Thanks!

Better to be lucky than good!




...Or better still take a whole bunch and throw away a ton where you missed it. ;) Nice thing about skateboarders, when they see a camera they go all out. :D

[NashVegas]

14. Ha!

Nice thing about skateboarders, when they see a camera they go all out.

Ya gotta love it.

8. Zinnia Rising is my kind of image. It's kinda like the four way Mesc

I ate at the Goose Lake Festival. Very nice.

Seeing things one doesn't normally see and recognizing it is the task of any storyteller, no matter the medium.

The Cherry Barb photo is very passionate with it's use of color. The composition is sweet.

It's going to be one hell of a final.

11. Cherry barb -- wow!

That's really a beautiful photo. Reminds me of a Van Gogh painting.

[ThingsGottaChange]

15. Thank you, priller and alfredo!

This is my first post in the Photography forum. Mainly because I finally found a pic I had that was good enough. I am not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination. Just got lucky a few times!

I also want to say how in awe I am of the fab photographers here on DU! The pics in this forum are stunning!!!

13. Turtle Muffin = Best. Picture. Ever.

:rofl: I love it!

[Eurobabe]

20. I'm hungry, lucky that muffin is nowhere near me

or it would be a headless turtle muffin. :rofl:

Hats off to you pros, this forum is an endless source of inspiration! :thumbsup:

[JeffR]

[Tindalos]

23. I made it!

This week has been so crazy hectic, I didn't think I'd make it. Now I think about it, I probably should have
picked something other than a bug for a subject. I purposely avoided flowers because I thought there would be
more of them.

The competition is very tough here. Great photos.

[JeffR]

24. ROOM FOR ONE MORE ENTRY n/t
