superb macro...........well caught.

???

mm, explain..................is this meant to symbolise half a cup........

good take on the theme.................thinking outside the box.................lol

mmm, nice recovery............

cmyk, just where does it say how big the figures have to be............nowhere, that's where......! this piece is on topic, and well executed, not just some flat, lifeless cartoon piece, that could be produced using paintshop!!

hey, I'm not arguin that the bimbo isn't good, she is very good..........I was just making a point about the source.........it is very small, not that in itself is a problem, the size should not matter, but it is on it's own, and difficult to find. The shot itself, is cool, well made.......I like it!

lovely piece of machinery...well caught. It would look good as a black and white!

superb catch.............nice coloring...well done

you're not looking hard enough rick!............the hi res shows them very clearly!!!

well waz, I had to open the hi res to be able to see the source, and it is just a tiny piece at that!...........I think it could have been better used. This pic is more about a blond bimbo with a gun!

good work, good idea. well done.

mmm, let's not get to anal about this..........how about you vote on the shot for it's technical merit, go on, give it a try....!

you are entitled to your opinion author, but you named the shot, nobody else.

much better....

lol..........be afraid, be very afraid...............

good effort, but,imo, the contrast is a little high, and is causing some of the detail to be blown out. Sometimes, contrast can be detrimental to the shot, as in this case. You might want to try reducing it a little, to bring out the detail without blowing the highlights.

good fun shot, but it is a little 'flat'..........imo, you might want to try increasing the levels, and bringing up the contrast a touch, not too much!..it will give the shot some depth.

doesn't look like this is used anymore......

nice angle, and good dof. I might have cropped the shot to lose the power lines behind the machine, or moved around it so as not to catch them.

interesting shot, good use of levels for the colors and reflections here.

good capture............looks like the machine is working hard...well done.

the horizon on this needs straightening...

can't see much of the 'sailboat'..

I didn't think ghosts left shadows............!

sorry, but what is white and fluffy about this!

lol...........I am sure you don't my dear!.......

this is a fabulous sculpture..........and very original I think......I have not seen anything like it anywhere...well done.

have you never heard of the Goose who laid the Golden Egg Kyricom..........

now this is what I would call minimal use of source...! not easy to find at all!

unfortunately author, a lot of users do not know how to judge on technique and talent....this apparent in more than just the 'chop' contests, it happens in the photography contests too...

mmm.........the raw shows what was shot, and it was this!..............very strange indeed.......I am sorry for doubting you, but it really does look like a bad PS job..

mmm, looking down the length of the blade would have been kool......

we have the same rules here...

ok, I see this now......the shot is great, I wasn't knocking it, just wondering ...

so you use a Canon!

more fuzzy than ghostly...

I was looking moe at the green halo effect around the boy, where did that come from......and the 'hard' finished edge at the top of the halo above his head...........I am sorry, but I have to agree with Mark

personally, graphic or otherwise, and as a non chopper myself, this is probably the best one I have seen here yet.........the hi res is excellent........the idea is very clever, and is way outside the box most have used here so far. Congrats author!!.......Just what is minimal use of source anyway..........??

excellent catch...........well done.

brilliant....

why is the man with the gun see through, at thirty seconds, he should be solid, surely.......great effort though....

nice work, very ghostly.............

imo, this was cheated of a place...........

please can we have a hi res for this.......

so, maybe crop the image, bring up the contrast a little........it can be improved, the hi res is pretty good quality

Author, do you have the exif info for this shot, something as good as this would make a superb subject as a tutorial, for those of us who aspire to learn the techniques required to shoot pics like this.

so different to the other entries..........thinking outside the box. I like this very much.

this was a complete surprise to me my friend, I didn't think this would be yours.........it is so much different to your usual work.......

eggcellent............work....
