no, I think the presence of the buildings adds a sort of 'menace' feel to the cloud.......like......"the aliens are coming"...........lol

lol..........yeh, I guess it will......

I think there is a copyright issue here..........you need to change the brand name!!

this is superb work, although I am confused as to why the bag chain is in gold on the b/w image...........it is almost too good!

I bet they only had one kid, she looks more butch than he does....

the whites are excellent considering the condition of the original shot. The skin tone is not so good, it doesn't look real. The rug is good, and the wall is not too bad, although I would not have chosen this color for it.

good effort, good luck

in hi res, this is oof..........also, imo, because of the profuse amount of green, the bug is lost a little...

magnificent..........................this is what I was looking for when I suggested this contest............this and a few others like it here..............superb.

lol....good thinking author...........but, you mean to tell me, you live in a completely bug free environment...........how lucky is that, or not, as the case may be...........

excellent capture all the same.....the detail on the abdomen is great, well done and good luck

good effort, good luck

you can shoot like this as an absolute beginner, you will go a long way.......just think a little more about composition when shooting. ....have a look for 'the rule of thirds' on the internet, it will help you..........you may well find a tutorial here on pxl...welcome and good luck.

just as I said they do....nice shooting btw !

great shot of an ugly mother.............lol. I like the hi res too........good luck

excellent catch.......... the hi res is superb. good luck.

waldo, be careful with your accussations............you rubbed people the wrong way once before! This looks real enough to me, These unusual clouds are called lenticular clouds because of their lens-like shape and they tend to form at high altitudes, normally aligned at right-angles to the wind direction. They have often been mistaken for UFOs in the past, due to their odd shape.

two same and one different!

I think the coloring job is pretty good, it still that older feel to it though.

a little dark...

excellent capture author...........good luck.

good catch.........don't they look cute and cuddly close up.....lol

nice hallway, but where is the symmetry, not including the rug that is...

did we not see this one recently, or was it BC?

yes, I agree with mellanieb.........I think the lines created by this would make this a stunning entry.

nice interpretation of the theme, well executed, well done.

very tasty, but the lighting is a little harsh..........it could use some sort of diffusion to soften it a little...this would spread the light a little, and also kill off the hard shadow behind.

sometimes, simple is best..............well done.

I agree, this is a busy shot..........

sorry, it is good catch, but I agree with the flash comment from Jaws..

I think what the goal is suggesting is that you take an old 'damaged' photo, repair it, then color it...although, the wording does actually say....' - take something old or even damaged'......that does not say to me that 'damaged' is compulsory!!!

excellent restoration work...........have fun coloring it.

great catch...........but I would say this is more 'close up' than 'macro'........

this would have had more impact, if the stopper appeared to be hanging....otherwise, this an upside down shot of a part filled bottle.....!

beautiful shot..........The only improvement, imo, would be to crop out the 'bright' section of wall at top right

excellent effort............good luck.

you see Dimitri...I am not the only one who reveres your work............what Have I been telling you my friend................The best camera on the market in the wrong hands is just junk!!!!

sorry author, this is a cool shot, but............'Pick your favourite colour, choose a flat surface and put three objects of your choice on it. The objects must have the same colour.'..........................have another go, you have time

good effort.....go try again, you have time....

thanx, only asking, you don't mind do you..............I knew it wasn't photoshop!..........

imo, this is close up, not macro......good effort though.

pity, this could have been a good shot with a little more effort. The highlights are blown, and so a lot of the detail is gone.

outstanding............well done author.

fabulous work, good luck.

good shooting...........good luck

should have come to me, I gave a load of bugs away last week........lol........the 2nd one looks pi55ed....lol

mmm......a magnetic personality you have......lol

ah, we are much more friendly here..............well, most of us.....

mmm, there now seems to be a trend for shooting up thru pylons such as this.......lol.............I was about to shout at you for stealing my pictures.....

fantastic work............it would have been nice to see a few more intermediate steps along the way to this.
