ravnostic, still can’t figure out for sure what the secondary image is. I’d guess either the rooftop of another building, or more likely an empty fountain ( those round pipes would be where the water comes out? ).

CauseISaidSo, yes the b-side one, it’s gorgeous.

Choc-ful-a, thanks much for the feedback! I wanted to use Rusty Sail, but swapped it out for the B+W Buster profile–it’ll probably turn up in a future contest. The other two I entered were my “absolutley must go in” for this theme, so of course the dog is doing better 🙄

rav, what’s the story with the double-exposure bee? Looks otherworldly.

Choc-ful-a, the houseguest is far-out, man 8)

Cause, the snowy mountain is spectacular! I too had a hard time deciding this week, b-sides here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42385982@N06/sets/72157626007121333/

I’m hoping to do better than our last arty theme, Artistic Bent, where my “best” was 130th place 😳

🙂 That model sure has a stretchy face!

Excellent, congratulations!

I figured since this was an International competition that I’d have NO chance, so I didn’t even title them when I submitted.

I’m not at all surprised you did so well. You are really incredibly talented, don’t let anyone else tell you different! Congrats on this, I’m so happy for you!

Wish I could go with, sounds like a neat day of fun. Sorry to hear about your aunt, hope the treatmemt goes well.

/a gallon of water? How freakin hot is it going to be?

[Zero_Exponent]

Ooooh, neat idea.

Ya, what he said, very creative solution!
I like that first pic of Blerticus. The soft focus works well there.

The wallflowers are tres cool. I’d save that last one for reflections IIWY.

Thanks for the input and well wishes all–woke up from my nap just in time to post.
U-man, if you’re still stuck, #2 would be my vote.

I could really use some hep here, I’ve got some possible entries, but can’t narrow it down. Do any of these jump out at you? They’re all in a row on my Flickr photostream FYI, so if you goto the first link, you can keep clicking “<- newer" til you hit the end.

Please help, I’m sick, and tired, and can’t think clearly.

We’ve always been open to worldy influence with patriotic/flag stuff. I say this theme should do the same and include letters from all languages.

Does anybody see a problem with that?

Are these allowed, or am I too far outside the box here? The pictographs might be a bit much – I don’t think owls, cats, etc. is what you were going for.

[Zero_Exponent]

Let me add my late congrats as well, mopsy!
I knew I was in for an ass-kicking on this one. Long exposure and non-solar light are two of my greatest weaknesses. I learned a lot from seeing everyone else’s though.

[Zero_Exponent]

A couple scarlet aarrgghhs have crept in, I see. Great theme–lots of good pictures I’ve enjoyed. I echo the peppercorn kudos.

Thank you too. I think I hooped myself on the voting for that one though. I noticed some dust/dirt on the image, so I cleaned it up with Picnik. When I went to save the edited version, it crossed my mind that it may change the URL. I checked Fark after, but it still had the unedited version showing. It’s gone now – so yeah, my bad, sorry about that 😳

[Zero_Exponent]

Can you explain what’s happening in the second one please? Strobelight and motion or … ?

I really like the second one, called “pepper pile”, as a photo. But I doesn’t fit the black theme as well as the ones you posted, so good call… I’d definitely keep it in mind for another contest though.

Thank you very much – I like how all those peppercorn shots turned out, so for sure I will look for an opportunity to use them 🙂
