Several entries are missing the tear in "THE TORN HAT"

[Lorraine]

I don't know if I'll have time to enter this contest. But I wanted to compliment Cupcake on her work. What a beautiful play on colors, highlights and shadows with extreme attention to detail.

Also, Ruzzez has made a very good point. Many entries have missed the "Torn Hat."

Lorraine

It was nowhere said we have to keep the hole in the hat. If it does say that then I'll take mine down. Until then, Sorry but mine is " a whole new hat" . .

[Lorraine]

kilty560,

"a hole new hat."

Lorraine

[kilty560]

Really, that was just a typo . I went back and fix it although it was kind of funny and over all never intended to upset anybody.

[Ruzzez]

I don't think anyone was upset.

[Lorraine]

kilty,

I thought it was very clever play on words.

This is going to be so hard to choose 5 of them they are so many and so many are beautiful entries.

[frate]

I just went back through and browsed the entries. I really like the variety of style. That's why I like this board. There's a lot of inspiration and learning for me.

[crazyfly1]

Frate, yours is amazing. There are so many variations, it will be so hard to choose.
Mine is my first attempt at anything like this. I did it with deep paint.

[Verve]

Just a question... are we allowed to ADD elements?

[Verve]

What programs is everyone using. I am using PS CS3...

[kilty560]

Verve
I know for a prior contest we had the option to add elements to the images but it doesn't say anything like it for this contest, now as for the programs I use Photoshop CS3 and Painter. I don't always use Painter X but for this contest I did.

to T and everyone, i'm sorry, but i just really dont have time for the vote this month. things at work and life in general are demanding more of my time of late. for the last two weekends i've had to leave town and my hours at work have increased and i may well be moving shortly. this is mostly for the good, so no worries. but, i just dont have the time these entries deserve right now.

so, T, my received votes so far are very few. feel free to remove my entry if that's what shld be done and thanks to those that did vote for me. to you, feel free to change your votes.
