Pop Photo Contest

So who, if anyone, submitted work to the contest? I would really like to see some of the other submissions...

[T Paul]

I went with a whimsical approach and used five of the photos...

Nicely done Rondon! I like the world inside of the mouth with the onlookers peering in from the lip.

[Subtle]

Very Nice Suprise!

Wow, very well done! I really like the use of colors! Very uplifting!

Mine is more of a, uh? black comedy? Don't know if that is the right word, but i'll submit now, and let you have at it.

[T Paul]

Great job seemlessly blending the photos together. I like the monotone color and I'm guessing you created the wings from the sunflower? If so, nicely done!

[Subtle]

Sunflower

Yeah, wings were created with sunflower pedals, type was taken from the ferry boat. I do a lot of personal work in monotones, with distressed type and cracks in the photos, so this was just a natural progression of things.

Very colorful

The bubble spewing Daisy is neat... and the giraffe will go unnoticed at mass..
nice one... did you enter it ? I got a couple of flattering e-mails from someone so I did... after I give my 10% of the winnings to RTP I'll go camera hunting.
oh well! nice to have a dream.
Hi Subtle... missed your's... neat stuff.

[T Paul]

Thanks Rondon! I did enter it for fun. Of course my mother loved it and wants a large print of it for her birthday (got to love mothers)! I am looking forward to seeing the winning entries. It will be fun to see the different approaches people took, what photos they used and how they combined them.

I really like Andrey Kasatsky's, Frank DiGiovanni's and Chris Mayernik's entries. I do question some of the entries though, especially since the rules stated that you could not use images other than the ones provided.
