Another one of my fav's! Way to go congrats!

Congrats for 2nd

congrats on the runner up spot

good one!

I gotta say Author, U Rawk!!!!

Oh! Wow! This is actually really cool how you got the water textures and colors like that in the sky. Such a lovely entry! It's simply inconceivable not to fav it. GL!

Nice use of imagination! GL!

This is still a medium I've barely touched. You seem to have a good knack for water colors. Well done! GL!

Love the overall environment...........Good Luck Author.

Excellent DOF! GL!

Great shot! Another thanks for the eye candy!

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty fall image.

Lol - I had this one too as a kid. It was my fave along with Hungry Hippos!

Colour and composition is lovely.

HaHa....Caught you! (FINALLY Read the whole comment)....

Very nice work with the lighting here Author...you have surprised me (in a good way of course), nearly spot-on for this type of shot! Well done!

Just a little nit-picking thought here to give a try though...although the shadowing and contrast here is very good (don't get me wrong, love it!)...try taking your light center and high at about a 20 degree down-angle to really get the muscles to ripple and "pop"...

Just a thought and something I've had great success with

All-in-all, a simply wonderful entry...GL

I had a body like this once...but now he's buried in the basement with the other "studs" that were chasing my daughters!

OOOOOH my goodness.

this is fabulous. i really think you could have pulled out a bit on your crop to include the arms fully, as its a tiny bit close on the sides.
but...this is definitely great. i love the contrast, the shadowing, the fact you did it in black and white...and oh lord...well...the subject. *drool*

nicely done author. thanks for the eye candy.

i'm jealous.
purely jealous.
i tried at least 3 different landscapes and gave up on all of them. this is all from imagination?? bah. and watercolor?? author, you are amazing. and yet another fav from me. well done!!!

This is pure talent! Did you make it up from your imagination?

Wow author, what amazing piece of art...It look perfect...well done

WOW!!!!! This is SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL! I am just in awe. I dont know what to say other than VIEW HI RES folks!

Congrats!!!!!

this entry deserved to win! Coz it has an artistic side, great drawing and it's telling a little story... It's sad that ppl in here are giving higher votes for those who they know, instead of voting for art . Anyway, it's my winer! Best of luck, Author!!!

Very inviting!

NICE!

NICE!

If you put the letters from your cache with the "s" at the end of "board" you'll get a boatload of points (plus an extra 50 for using all seven of your letters) for two words!

Amazing shot!

well done

Colorful!

this was my fave as a kid!

Great job on this!

Awesome shot and idea

Shouldn't some of the bones, especially the wishbone, be in it if you're making the nose light up?

Very nice........G/L Author.
