#62 - third idea

travelways

I got some PJ shots Saturday at the "Zombie Walk" event in Ottawa.

I processed one of them and thought it may be a good idea as a "disguise" entry:

Zombies in Ottawa



What do you think :scratch

I have many other of these shots, but haven't processed them yet.

SeascapeS

There you go! Love that! Maybe tone down the processing a bit....this was more what I was picturing for this theme (so near Halloween). Lots of cool ideas floating around though!

Wow Tatiana-that's some crazy processing.
The outline of the woman's breast on the right doesn't even look real--looks drawn in.
I'm digging it:)

Oh, thank you so much Sandy and Liz

Yes, I exaggerated the processing to make it creepier, but maybe it's not exactly what should have done.

If the idea is acceptable (I know people only want to see beautiful things and not creepy ones, but this is what
I happened to have, and it's for this time of a year), I can work on it more, if it's worth it.

All I wanted to know is weather I am on a good track, or I should abandon this idea, because it does't
look pretty, like with my fish image (on one of the past contests, for example)...

I can answer actually myself these questions - it's NOT what people want to see, period.

Thank you, I'll see if I can get something else

PS: No, not everything, every time has to look "real"

The few times I've placed well or actually won anything have been on shots that have not been pretty.

Thank you Liz, this is when people don't have resources, but just have talent, like you do (for real ).

Well, I have (had) some more resources, but on the other side, I'm not there - this is not to claim compliments.

Sorry, but somehow I don't know what I want. Nothing from nothing doesn't bring too much

I'm out - at least for tonight

I definitely did not go for pretty this time. I figure this is the one time we can let ourselves go and be a bit creepy.....'tis the season! I think the obscure theme was done on purpose (unless my brain only goes in one direction).

Tatiana - you're doing great! You had three good ideas. Personally, I like this one the best. The lottery ticket is a close second. Both are unique and haven't been done (yet).

travelways

Thank you so much Sandy, I really appreciate your effort to try to help me

I have another idea, but I need a model... hmm

travelways

I have another here from the same event - just for fun...

These are nice!~And Frightful!

Not my cup of tea.. but it might work if it's cropped more to where the wild eyed girl is more the subject. Right now I keep looking back and forth between them instead of seeing one specific one as the subject.

travelways

Thank you Tom and Jenn -I'll think about... I know I'm not there yet.

travelways

Since I don't have any other subject yet, I keep playing with this creepy photos I took at the Zombie walk, if you don't mind

Here is #3



and here #4



What do you think?

SeascapeS

I like #4! Love it!

sweetharmony

#4 is Great! And the eyeball guy, too...but definitely #4. I know they're not pretty, but I don't believe "pretty" is all that important at all. Must have been a great event to attend with a camera.....fun, indeed!

travelways

Thank you

I have them all here:

#4 has it all - great colors, fantastic expression, perfect processing, lighting, comp, etc.

#4 was the one I thought was the best from all the shots, but I just wanted to show the others first.

Yes, I'll go with #4 then - thank you so much for your help

He, he... I did it! I hope I'll not change it again

Third times a charm!
