Add your comments, questions or general discussion about the Nov Contest entries as well as the contest itself here. This is also a great place to share your techniques or ask others about theirs.

i see you've given us another easy one....not! i'm beginning to believe that most of the challenge/contest moderators around here are sadists

of course, that makes all of us working on it, masochists. a tricky image indeed! shld be fun.

oh, and you need to include the actual deadline time, T. you've got the voting date, but not the cutoff for entry time.

Craig

edit: replaced my first with this current one. may happen yet again

You might want to double check the rules...

I have to complain , I know am not skilled but I refuse to enter a contest that calls for retouching this (see attachment) ... and from that come up with a baby like the one shown by Craig ??

T Paul · #5 11-02-2005, 06:53 PM

The best way to download the images is by rightclicking (or Cmd/Ctrl clicking) on the link and using "Save Target As".

Marthig · #6 11-02-2005, 07:07 PM

OK I am sorry. First for making a comment at the posting thread and second about the complaint, guess I am too sleepy and wasn't doing it right

Now I downloaded it.
Thank you T Paul !!

T Paul · #7 11-02-2005, 07:17 PM

Kraellin · #8 11-02-2005, 07:28 PM

Hope this isn't against the rules!

Just had to help a bit - Try turning it sideways - See it now?

I am abit confused here, when i downloaded it, it was a picture of a baby, did i download the wrong one?

Caitlin · #11 11-03-2005, 07:57 AM

That 5mb tif file seems to have a lot of jpg artifacting in it.

Is it meant to be that way??

kschulz · #12 11-03-2005, 08:15 AM

Caitlin - 5MB? I downloaded the 8MB file - there doesn't seem to be any JPEG artifacts (and there shouldn't be, given that its a TIFF file, unless it was resaved from a JPEG

). But, there is something like a matte texture to the surface that is a part of the actual photo. Just makes it more fun...

caitlin,

i noticed that too. to me it seemed like the hi-res scan had picked up the paper texture and i went 'oh oh, looks like an FFT job'. so, i worked on the smaller-res scan

Sorry - I meant 8mb... I think it must be a jpg resaved as TIF? See attached

I know it says no whacky backgrounds but I didn't think adding the toys would be since a lot of professional photos have props. Still, if it is where it doesn't qualify, please let me know so I can change it. Although, I'll miss the cute little ducky

LOL

Still if someone could let me know either way that would be great. It's my first time entering in one of these things.
