Feb 06 Contest

[Kraellin]

well, this probably gets me disqualified per the rules, but i just couldnt see a 'great shot' with leaving half a head in there. now, technically, if you REALLY strain the rules, i didnt 'alter the subjects' by leaving one out. they just arent there, but they arent altered (and if you buy that, i've got some property in florida i'd love to sell you).

at any rate, i just went my own way and did it up like i thought it shld be done. if it disqualifies, then it disqualifies me... c'est la vie!

and Ro, we need to have a talk about this sadistic side of you... i like it!

wow--a professional photographer overcome with fatherly bliss and unable to focus the camera maybe (LOL). a tough one to say the least-- all you can do is try to take the focus off that half head! This is the first version I tried on the day the contest was posted, and after 3-4 other versions, I am back around to this one. Nice work everyone.

Exceptionally great work everyone.

palomino had four versions. I was up to six when I said enough is enough.

My final version isn't great. But this contest was worth the effort to try to restore Ro's baby.

Since I had started working on this picture, a beautiful boy appeared to look a little bit sarcastically, like he was watching for my useless effort to fix something. And poor Mom, she can't see at all, she has no eyes...

[garazon]

Another tough contest, and looks like it will be equally tough to judge.. again
Lot's of good work everyone.
Not sure which version this is :o)

Here is my submission

Way too much time invested in this, and I'm still not very happy with the end result. Time to wave the white flag...

Tricky one Ro. I'm glad T Paul's back next month! You're too sadistic.

My first serious retouching job.
That's why I needed a long time to finish it, right before the deadline. ( I hate deadlines, I am always late)
I am impressed by the other entry's btw.

[pjulich]

Didn't have much time, but I wanted to try so here it is. I do enjoy these challenging photos. Each one is a learning experience.

Time ran out on me, so no frills, no grimmicks!
