I expected surfers like the pacific ocean early in the morning. Nice shot

Wait...did elvis eat two of the reindeer? Two are missing! Glad you had fun with it.

Cape something, somewhere in Africa. at least that's what the signs say

Is this what the neighborhoods look like? Lush and old wood (assuming wood looks old from the moisture and salty air)?

What a wonderful bit of history

I looked it up. Winnipeg

Oy! Ray...if YOU had that view from above? Well, I'd like to meet your plastic surgeon Admittedly, this is a very unique entry and, um, artistically done?

Was just think the same thing k5683. A little vertigo-ish

Wow.. a beautiful building and you framed it very nicely. Thanks.

What is the building in the background? I want to google now. Thanks.

This is wonderful. NYC is definitely on my places to visit in this lifetime. At first I thought all their shorts were on fire . The lights at waist level contrasting with the dark is very striking. I also like that you did not crop the sky out. It is a nice balance. Thanks for sharing.

This piece has a very strong Native American feel to it with the colors and the look of a mask. It would translate beautifully into a sculpture of wood or metal. I love it. Great job!

This work has lots of hidden items. After looking at it again, I see that it's not a bruised swollen eye but a pair of lips. Very provocative. This one really is so interesting to me. Nice.

I really think this is interesting using the 3d cubes. I agree that doing something with the head may add another element to it. Nice job!

I agree with Drivenslush. I should have been looser on the stringed instrument...but pianos are stringed instruments and just didn't want to go there The moderators will have final say obviously. I think this is fabulous. Thanks for starting us off with a nice showing. BTW, I look at the tutorial as a guide for beginning PSrs (such as myself) and not meant as the driver of this challenge.

I like the edited version even more. I think having less sky adds to the effect. Gives it a bit of a gloominess and the rain works well against the trees. Thanks for considering the change.

It looks so surreal. I really think it is such an interesting shot. Thanks for sharing.

If they are plastic ducks is it murder or hunting? Notice the pattern on his shirt.

Camera survived but author spent 3 days in hospital with pneumonia for walking barefoot in the rain. I like the idea of cropping the sky as you can see the rain against the trees. Might make it more interesting.

Sometimes it is difficult to capture wind, but if you look at the whitecaps, I think this is more than an "ordinary" shot of a storm. I like the fast moving storm with the clear horizon behind. Storms over the ocean are visually interesting because of the rain coming down in the horizon and also the clearning in another part. I think you did a great capture of the diversity of this storm. Good job!!!

I live in Sacramento...don't get much snow. Also new to photog...I am assuming that is snow in the background. How or what did you do to make it look this way? It looks kind of "furry" (sorry for the odd description). Thanks.

Is this an hallucination based on an actual event? Just asking

Absolutely the funniest thing I've seen here. Thanks so much!

Is that you spackling? And thanks for sharing

I can tell it is work because if he bites his lower lip any harder, it is going to bleed.
I like the play of light from the right (our right, his left). Be interesting what the light shade looked like. Fancy I suspect. Nice play of dark to light.

Locksmagic: Is that a slap or a bonk?

Using the magnifying glass to make the houses more visible was very clever. Nice addition.

It's a Braveheart cow.

This is such a compelling piece. The color, light, figure, texture. Even though there is a creepiness (to me) to it, the atmosphere you created is strong and truly speaks of loneliness. Very strong work.

Too funny!

Oy! Just an idea, since you're make the car go fast and the snail's head is sticking out...maybe make the snail's antennae go back like the wind is blowing them back. Make sense?

Maybe he's English and says Eliphino.. And you did a good job with the image too.

Nice angle of shot (from above for those not familiar with the device).

You may have a reason for adding the boy, but I think it would be just as effective without the boy in the picture.

Author: Touche Putty Cat (says tweetie to sylvester)

This is so well done. The depth of the water is consistent throughout as indicated by the columns, the man's legs, the ashcan in the back.; as well as the distortion of reflection caused by the water. Nice work. I also like that you changed the "lighting" to give the look a less sterile look.

Did you hear the one about the mouse that went to Marss?

make that bite

He took a bight out of it so he changed the look...does that waive copyright?

I've never seen it and it made me laugh in its simplicity. Thanks.

Nice lighting on the cat...but I think Warlock may be right about a long shadow just a bit from behind because the front of the house isin shade. Nit picky because I am a cat owner...the pupils would probably be smaller being outside however, he may be shocked sitting on a house. The lighting really keeps the cat from being flat. Nice job again.

Fabulous! Since I don't know photography, did you photoshop it also? How did you treat it? Thanks for sharing.

Made me laugh. Very clever.
