these people all look like they are enjoying the party, there does not seem to be any sort of chaos reigning here.........if they were all rushing for the door, then maybe that would be different. imo.

partying drunk people can be chaos to some people. I used to bartend and after many years, the whole bar scene was chaos to me--again...in the eyes of the viewer

Chaos is probably more IMO in this entry but I was there and it was nuts and I had random strange women coming up to me giving me tongue. To me, it was chaotic. FUN, but chaotic.

Lovely

Ouch

Just a few minor cuts, but what is art without sacrifice?

i agree with you author well done ! great shot

I hope you got it right first time...............

Stunning image, wonderful work here author...Bravo!

Great shot, love it

Yikes! The extremes we go to in the name of art!

What a sacrifice, but it was well worth it.

Awesome work....best of luck on a sure winner!!

Congratulations!!!

What a gorgeous picture, I do love a good bit of colour.

Great, and really shows that megapixels isn't everything, far more detail in this, than many phone cameras with a more megapixes.

What a lovely bright image. Bend down when taking children and get on their level - it makes for a better image. Cute as apple pie!!!

I'm impressed! GL!

Darn! That's almost the exact shot I was going to do! (except I wouldn't be seen with a Canon ) Good shot. GL

I actually wanted to go with a Nikon D3s but I already had a rather sizable collection of Canon L Series glass i couldn't afford to replace at the time....I've been rather happy with the 50D and have a 7D on order.

excellent shot.. just that flash light or flash light cap is a bit distracting.. I see that you have been collecting cameras.. thats really cool.. would you mind sharing the list of what you have collected so far?

Agree with iquraishi the flash upsets an otherwise wonderful shot.

i absolutely love this.

No hope, Author! a microscopic piece will suddenly stop functioning the minute after the guarantee is over and they will tell you that particular piece had been produced for only 3 months and they will be happy to offer you a 1,03-dollar discount on the purchase of a new 10,000-dollar camera!!!

wonderful idea ! great shot !

@ iquraishi, without giving away too many clues to possible future entries, a partial list of what I've been collecting is: 1929 Kodak hawkeye 2a, this '33 Agfa, 2x '40's Kodak Folding Brownies, 3 or 4 different 1950's brownies (Kodak) 1967 Polariod LandCamera 900, 1918-20 Mahagony 8x10 field camera (the old wooden type with the hood and glass plate negatives) and a few newer ones too...1970's Pentax P3, Canons A - series cameras, Pentax K-100 and a bunch more...at last count there are nearly 25 total cameras

Pentax! (I use a K-7)

Wonderful idea.....I just love the comparison of new and old technology. GL

Congrats on your 2nd, excellent work, well done.

Congrats for your second place!
