I still have a digital copy of the final draft on one of my old PC’s or a backup drive.

Anybody knows if this thing is pre-1992? It had no badges and I barely had time to take its picture as I walked past by it rather quickly:

Iguana

It has that 80’s look and feel but I could be wrong.

I expect the classics to be more than covered this week, so maybe I’ll show some love for the mundane,…

You know your entire posting history is on your stats page, right? “Fun Guy” is on the Grouped by Contest tab, page 3, and it doesn’t look like you used that particular one.

Ima still a little bit confused. When I think of a “landscape” I envision a relatively subject-less photo. I mean, other than the landscape. The description has that bit about ‘the primary subject’ and ‘detail and intimacy’. The example of the statue in foliage (which I really like) looks more like a subject in a setting than a landscape.

Definitely not feeling any love for my shots this week. Did I really suck that bad with all three?( you can be honest it won’t hurt my feelings anymore than having my pictures completely being ignored.)

I’m prone to feel the same in some contests…

I think it to be less measure of your shots than a measure of the competition.

Just my opinion, but I think this theme should have been changed to photo collage, formerly mosaic for just the reasons being given. There was too much confusion between mosaic and collage. I thought the 4 to 20 photos was just a guide line to distinguished between mosaic and collage NOT an exact number. Again, just how I saw it.

Are you going to leave it out in the rain so it rusts and then make a photograph of it? That would be cool. Stupid, but cool.
