I like the shadows

just a touch OOF

Very pretty shot, but the cow seems incidental

Looks nice... GL

I WANNA go to Nimbin!!! (sounds a lot like Saugerties, NY [Woodstock - the real one]).

Nice. looks like a true craftsman

Is there an axe in his other hand?

Actually, the grammar of the theme does specify live cows. It says "Humans and other animals may be in your image." The word "other" denotes that the subject be live.

Always take a bunch - focus on different parts if you're using auto

Very cool. You can tell where the soil level used to be. Josh might be right about the grayscale. might also play around with cropping a bit off the top and right so it isn't so centered

Wierd. They almost look fake

Looks like it might fall over soon.

Very cool shot. I think I might crop a bit off the top and the right. This would decenter the roots more, keep the grass at the bottom, but eliminate the tree at the right.

Wierd. Doesn't look like the roots went very deep.

looks like the hill has eroded away. Interesting to see the root system

almost looks like an insect

looks very serpentine

nice color to the bark

Cute... but not a cow

Positive HIV test?

What's Nimbin?

Looks yummy, but I think you could lower the greens just a touch... seeing it in the apples

Nice looking salad... but just a little oof

Very cute... but not cows

But that's based on the faulty premise that any of those have quality coffee.

Very nice composition

Cool "circle" ...might crop just a little closer

nice bokeh, but could use a focal point

Very cool shot for the theme... might crop a little closer though

Needs to be red in the center... like "HAL"

McDonald's is quality coffee?!

wow... gone for two days and the world implodes. The mod has obviously looked at it. It looks as though they don't agree with me. I'll live (although hands are DEFINITELY not tools ). Vote and move on. All this personal stuff should either be handled backchannel, or in the forum - but not on some innocent third party's entry.

Nice, ummm ... tool

No, hands aren't tools. see comments under theme. Not all jobs use tools... such as this one, for example

The balloons are not a TOOL. The ballons are the resources that are made into a product. A tool is a mechanism used ON a resource. Saying the ballons are the tool is like saying the lumber, or the finished house, are the tools of a carpenter.

wow... I wonder if I could get a couple of those to move myself after holiday dinners

This is a nice shot... but it isn't really of a "tool"

That's a drink? It looks like an aquarium

I've always wanted to try this stuff. it's in too much literature to ignore.

Gee, and to think I just use black cardboard.

Ummm, since the theme is singular, do you mix all those together?

Yummy... build strong bones and teeth

I'm not a big celery fan, but I love lime so I guess I'd try it

looks yummy
(closeup of just the side of the glass might make a cool abstract)

looks like the focal point is the guitar, not the drink

looks like a B-52 (cocktail)

It just kills me that people pay that much money for tap water. Did you know both pepsi and Coke (Aquifina and Dasani water) lost a court case and had to admit that it was nothing more than just good old Atlanta tap water? not to mention that if you took one of those bottles and filled it a third of the way with oil it would represent how much oil it takes to manufacture one bottle. I just get my water for free

If you put it in the right gobblet with some dry ice it could make a great "evil brew" in an old horror movie!

I like the backlighting

We drink maple syrup around here (in very small sips from pretty small glasses)
