    well you can interpret the contest however you want.what makes this photo a suitable entry in your opinion?
    In my opinion its valid!

    Cool - I thought it was a different shot and my 'trademark' total underexposure (intentional I swear!) seems to make it both 2 and 3 d. Thats a contrast I guess...

    Took this on holidays in Portugal-
    3568029450_60a171fc5a.jpg

    Basic question- on my flickr page it gives me two options for linking this picture. How do I edit it (I presume the first one) so that the image displayed (as above) is clickable/linkable to My flickr page?
    1. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pacork/3568029450/&quot; title="The monkeys paw? by dinneenp, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3642/3568029450_60a171fc5a.jpg&quot; width="500" height="375" alt="The monkeys paw?" /></a

    this is slightly outside the box but I think it's fits anyway....
    I've tweaked it a bit in Picasa to make it look like a negative

    By the way the contrast can be thematic also....

    And as such I have a few idea's of my own on that :)

    Thanks superflyninja. I saw at least 2 contrasts between texture & colour. Don't you see them????!!! :eek:;):rolleyes:

    PP was adding a green tint, upping the blacks, adding contrast, over exposing slightly and a fairly substantial vignette. I can send you a pretty good lightroom preset (not my own creation I must admit) as a starting point- if that is any use to you?

    What are the limits on post processing for these assignments? From what I can tell the rules must have changed since the original ones. Also when is the closing date for this assignment?


  • Posts: 5,589 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    I think this fits in a few ways- baby/adult, bike shadow small/humans shadow large

    Maybe a unusual approach to Contrasts ....


    3599303140_1a34d89827_o.jpg


    .... but it makes sense to me.

    I see the rules have changed a bit on this one. We're allowed use old pics rather than have to go out and take new ones. Happy days! Until I get a chance to try for a new one, here's one I baked earlier.
