Well, compliments are in order. That is definitely a good tear. At first I thought it might be a "hot pepper" or another type of fabricated tear. But it really tiz the "emotional" tear.

Holy droppola !! There are myriads of drops there. I must get busy. Nice entry, author !!

Yeppers !! That is exactly a drop !! Very accurate. I am impressed !! Historically, teardrops are usually much bigger then the standard drop. But this one is spot on !!

Dreamed vs. Dreamt, spelled vs. spelt, spilled vs. spilt.

Nice tribute !!

very nicely done !!

Good one !!!

You mean frozen ?

Very nice shot !!

I am in the process now of trying to patch together an online 12 step recovery program to help us overcome our pxl addiction.

Nice shot !! Fitting image !!

One word: WOW !!

That was one impressive chop there !!

Well, I must say, you done quite well indeed. I woulda lost patience after one twig and woulda uprooted the whole tree.

outstanding !! It musta took a long time to erase the greyscale layer off with a teeny tiny brush, egh ? If that's how ya did it. High score and GL.

Still in beta testing stage. I need more drops.

Very nice.

And as always, I got my dropometer out, and the droplet meets all the required standards. very nice photo, and GL.

The greyscale is still visible on 2 of the tomatoes. (on the edges) Also red splotch to the top right of the main tomato needs removed. That being said, it is an interesting take on the theme. IMHO, the other three tomatoes should be red also.

On my computer, after I edit the photo, the EXIF data is edited too. Unless I keep a copy of the original, a lot of the data about the image is lost. (camera, ISO, exposure, etc.)

Post a screenshot of the EXIF data in the SBS to show your shot was made in 2013.

I suppose it is encrypted in the image and then extracted using software ??

Will someone please explain to me how the admin. knows the EXIF data of an entry, if it is not submitted by the author. Is it encrypted in the entry somehow ? And for entries that are post processed, the EXIF data is lost, is it not ?

How do they know the data? Especially if the original has been edited?

This one here would of been the winner in the "smoke" contest going on now.

Is this "auto add feature" referring to the camera data below entry ?? (iso, exposure, etc.) Never heard of that term before.

You need to have a screenshot to the Exif Data, showing the date of photography

They had the Daguerreotype camera that required a long exposure time. Hence the noise ??

Yeppers !! Plus you get high score cause I measured that pesky droplet with my newly calibrated dropometer and it was exactly one drop. No more, no less.

A lot of grain and noise in photo. Was that on purpose ?

In fact, the more I look at it, the more I wanna take a towel and wipe it off the table. Darn ole droplet !!!

Interesting shot. My eye is drawn to the drop as well as the cherry.

A very nice pic with good clarity and color. No clutter and simple and to the point. I wish the reflection would of captured the whole glass. With that being said, high score and GL, author.

LOL. !! Just going on a little. That was just a little bit of levity. Which I am well known for in these circles. Just ask !!

What about a comment from lowly ole me ??? ;-0

That's why my electricity got shut off. Cause that's the mailbox I put my check into, and it obviously fell out.

How is this topsy turvy ?

Author, you have broken the anonymity rule by submitting similar images.

Pic is a tad OOF.

The contest moderator changed the parameters of the theme. Originally it was just one child. Then it was later changed to children. So everything is cool.

That is indeed one stunning piece of instrumentation there. Wouldn't it be cool if a heavy metal band rolled one of these monsters out on stage and started whaling away on it ?? Good pic, author.

There is just something about a sax player in a rock band. They are always so spot on when they do their solos. Author, are you familiar with the sax player in the band Supertramp ? (especially the song called The Logical Song)

Gonna be hard to beat this one, IMO.

As always, top of the line entry !!

Now, in my humble opinion, this is one HECKAVA capture here. I absolutely love the blue colors, the baggy jeans on the boy, his shoes askew like kids are prone to do, the girl trying to get the model thing going, the peeling paint on wall, etc. High score from me and good luck, author.

Entry is supposed to be of just one child I believe.

I believe there are 3 too many children for this contest theme. (take photo of a child). With that being said this is a very,very nice pic.

I can possibly think of some other adjectives to describe it also.

I can see very early in this contest, that it is going to be one big argumentative mess.

THAT PIC IZ DA BOMB !! THIS ENTRY EGGCITED ME !!! Max points and GL, author.
