    Congrats to Troy and to everyone that entered this challenge. Not being a photoshop guy I really didn't have high hopes this round, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how well I actually did. Now on to the next challenge.

    PS....my cover was my take on Michael Jackson's "Bad" album....if you hadn't noticed.

    Nice job Tony. Good job to all the others also.
    Thanks to all that voted for mine. I do not do these types of shots much. I try to keep it simple with my shots and I was happy with my results.
    99% of my shots are of action sports. I Try to get it right in the camera. Not much of a photoshop person. Matter of fact I do not even have it.
    Need a lot of practice with lighting. Heading to a lighting meetup on Saturday to shoot some mock wedding photos.

    Thank You Everyone! A perfect ending to another long day at work (my normal job).

    Congratulations to all Mega Challenge qualifiers and their entries, this one was a real nail biter for me. I'm sure you're all sick of seeing my face now. :D Yes it was worth shaving for, and now that the scruff has grown back (the me on the right) my wife will let me sleep in the same bed again. Laughing.gif

    It is a real honor to be among the Mega Challenge winners.

    This has also been the most fun I've ever had doing a photo from start to finish. Thank You Smugmug, Dgrin and all the award providers for such fun and challenging 'challenges' that help push us all. thumb.gif

    PS. To those wondering? I have about 16 hours into that photo... eek7.gif

    While your cover was nicely done, the title had me wondering how it described you or something about you, until I just noticed where you were from and Googled it.

    Laughing.gif, Population is about 900 I believe. 2 bars, probably a dozen churches, 2 gas stations and a grocery store. As many mud trucks and farm tractors as there are clean cars.

    Those that live in those big cities with all those people are crazy. rolleyes1.gif Just try to be a photographer here. eek7.gif That's where the cities have the advantage!

    Great work, Troy. Congrats! I had a lot of fun on this one, too. I had never done a self portrait, and it can be difficult to find a photo of me anywhere, so I managed to get a Bio pic out of it as well:D
