Nice, but the background is a little distracting

Great work ... a difficult one in charcoal. Well done!

it's a fantastic work.., good luck to you.

Congrats

Fair enough author. Good luck! =)

u did fantastic and very creative work here author...best of luck

Tis is beautifully done, and I really see what you are going for but didn't the rules say:
"The goal of this contest is simple: Draw a CD, a Record, a Tape, or an 8-track. No other forms of musical recording please."
Wow, if I'd drawn that, they would have pulled it in a heartbeat. They have pulled mine for a whole lot less. Good luck though...it is really well done!!!

I didn't know about the 8-track tape.. anyways.. thanks

Excellent Idea.. I see the time line here, a vinyl or phonograph record, then a jukebox, then a cassette, then a CD and on the top iPod..

love the design, love the idea, and love the minimalistic effect of this. good luck author!

thats really creative..brilliant stuff author
goodluck

by the way this was my 500th comment on pxleyes hehe

Nice idea and execution. I like how it's a totem pole. Good luck!

Congrats

Congrats

well done

simulate!

Loool, this is the hardest entry ever. I would never guess that.
Beach + cow + pizza = Beowzza

I am very impatient about this... I can't wait to figure out what this is!!!

I got it! Beachcowpizza! Right?

beautiful kid! great pic.. gl

That is one zonked out kid. I remember those days. You're right... they're a lot cuter at this age.

It would be nicer if the front were more in focus. I would suggest cropping closer to the moss in focus.

lovely, so relaxed

Well, children have an energy that is almost impossible to follow; but when the charge is off... zzzzz... quickly!

Cute girl....And really she looks damn tired.....Nice capture....

this would probably be really cute but it is very pixelated.

Author, I agree with Ade and will offer the following...read the guidelines of every contest CAREFULLY, just because an image CAN be entered in a contest...doesn't mean it SHOULD be entered. ( I learned this one the hard way at first!), the worst comments are NO comments at all, take into consideration that this is an international site and being such, some comments that appear rude are simply a language barrier thing (at times) and welcome...I hope you do well here...

as far as this entry is concerned...it's already been hammered...I'll take it you already know...If I can ever be of assistance just fire off a PM...

Ahhhh...Laguna Beach, been there many times in the past, lived not far from there (Irvine)...yep, still looks the same!

ps - not film photograph... film as in recorded image and frozen frame... a regular cause for the jagged edges you got there...
It was a simple question... an attempt to avoid giving a 10% vote on a computer glitch that may have caused a distortion on the image... but, hey, next time I'll just say "great shot!"...

Bashing? Dear... I never meant to bash... I only mentioned it was poor quality, which is, in fact, a technical comment, may I say...
Mine was a pretty simple comment, if you can't handle that kind of comment, you better get ready, 'cause I have read some pretty caustic ones around here.
Important for you to remember entries are anonymous... there is no way for anyone of us to know what level you are in...
Sorry you got so offended by what I said... Take a chill pal!
The world will indeed not end...

now now children................ .....welcome to the site author! Yes, you are correct, this is a fun site, but at the same time, we all strive to enter our best work! Your entry will get votes, no doubt about it......but it will also get comments like those which mperri has already made.....if you don't like these comments, don't enter work which will attract them!

author... First and foremost, you do not know what equipment I use, do you? If you knew, you would not be saying that...
But, considering this is a photography contest, the quality of the picture counts for as much as the composition... hence, my comment...

I am not arguing it being on topic... just not appealing, that is all...

looks like a tip..............

Was this taken from a film? Looks very poor quality!

Sorry, but this does not look like and appealing beach...

Cute!
