    I mined archived photos to find things that looked like they were manipulated digitally after the fact. That’s the best I could come up with this week. But since, as idle_hands noted, I think the ideal shots would be optical illusions not just odd photos. So if any don’t look close enough to the theme I’m ready to see them deleted. 🙂

    Oh man, did I misunderstand this one.
    Elsinore, you know what to do.

    Stapler, I think your shots are fine for the theme.

    I hope I started this contest off with a bang.

    Without that lens, I would have had to torture the cats more.

    It’s a lot of darkening, but I think the new rules allow for it.

    So if any don’t look close enough to the theme I’m ready to see them deleted.

    I’m thinking this week calls for a lot of leeway. The theme is a little open to interpretation, and I think as long as people are posting stuff in good faith thinking it looks like a trick shot, then it should be fine.

    Oh man, did I misunderstand this one.
    Elsinore, you know what to do.

    What’s wrong with them? You did the zoom-during-exposure thing, right?

    Oh, ok then, nevermind.

    Oh, and happy birthday idle_hands, the cookies were delicious.

    Thanks, not overly happy with it and its kinda hard to tell whats going on in it, but I figure since I uploaded it and all my other ideas fared even worse I might as well enter it.

    My “4th choice” this week was this silly bird. I like the shot enough that I wanted to post it here for your amusement, even though it didn’t make the cut. Maybe I can save it for the “show some critter that stood perfectly still for a handheld evening shot except for one bady part” theme? 🙂

    I’m having trouble narrowing it down from 6. Two are unnatural night skies caused by overcast skies reflecting city lights on long exposures, two are multiple light sources on a bus, & two are infrared.

    I can’t tell if I’ve used any of them before, because the FSM isn’t responding. Here they are. Any thoughts?

    See, that’s why we should use my suggested theme for a contest. Then you could use three of the photos that you did not enter for this one. Theme idea: “I should have used that one” or as NoBigDeal suggested, “B sides & unreleased tracks.”

    This was a hard theme, I thought I had a good idea and was going to hold a glass bottle in front of a boat to have a boat in a bottle, unfortunately the bottle was way to thick and you had no idea that there was a boat there.

    Yeah, I think you would need a piece of colored plastic or glass in the shape of a bottle in front of a ship. Too late now for this contest.
