Elliott Roper's 'Sandpaper' and Robert Spanjaard's untitled bug on golden vegetation where the focus on either side of center is soft enough to make icons standout.

You do not consider "only a few" to allow for the two you mention? Rather than disagreeing with me, you seem to be agreeing but limiting it even more than I am. To be clear, I am not criticizing the images. Just the images as purpose-specific for wallpaper. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

Surely everyone here shoots their own wallpaper. We do. But I had an idea to eliminate some of the staleness that I get from using my own stuff and solicited wallpaper for my monitor from the shoot-in participants. It worked, and I've got some new wallpaper. The shoot-in is a monthly event where members of this or other newsgroups can submit pictures strictly for entertainment. It is not a competition, but some will post critiques of the shots. I didn't do so well this time. Anyway, take a look here: www.pbase.com/shootin On the rulez page there's three new mandates. See if any interest you, and send me some shots!

This would have been a good Facescape entry. OK, I admit, I was a contrarian on this mandate due to all the nice "nature" shots submitted. So I submitted something totally different, only because it got a lot of smiles at work. And you're all correct, it does get old after a few days. But it will come back once a month... BTW, we're all lucky that baby guy isn't smiling in this shot. He was, but I waited until he covered what I think may have been teeth. Not a pretty sight. |
