what more do u want? :confused:

I dont mean to disrespect ur entry cotterik, but it looks photoshoped to me... i know there are some cameras that can do such effect... but the "lines" that surrounds the butterfly kinda gives me the idea that its PSed. or am i just a noob :confused:

Just add your name above your entry so its easier for me to create the voting thread :)

If the rules let you photoshop entries i wouldve changed the saturation of the black and white flowers. Its a shame my canon didnt pick out the full colour of the butterfly it was slightly pink but it didnt pick it all out.

and also not to disrespect your entry but it does look very photoshopped to me, too, it seems as though youve selected more than one color, which is fine, BUT if you did then im almost certain that some of those colors would have shown up elsewhere in the photo like the yellow and the black

Was so hard to choose between Zeppelin and Drakkie, but I've chosen Zeppelin - clean pic. Drakkie's photo has wires, not so perfect.:(

This competition just gets worse...

So afterwork in an image editor is disallowed, but because the effect is created in-camera it's okay? I think some alignment of the rules is required somehow.

Monochrome is standard photography stuff, which is perfectly fine. But this just daft. Why is it okay when the processor doing the image manipulation is inside a box that also contains a lens?

Either allow or disallow image manipulation, cut out the grey areas (no pun intended).

didn't you thik that zep's was way too dark ? Atleast I did.

If you look carefully to my picture, the camera was not held perfectly level. The composition is very good though.


try to take some city pictures, without any lines ! Then try to take a lake picture without any lines. That is like comparin a chicken with a skyscraper :)

The composition is very good though. Just out of curiosity, on what basis do you make this claim? In my opinion, the most interesting parts of the picture are the city scene and the mountainous background. The viewer isn't allowed to take these in, however, because it's so difficult to draw ones eye from the plume of water coming from the fountain. A focal point is important for a picture like that to work, but here it detracts to heavily from the rest of the image.

Just my tuppence worth, mind you.

I agree it's hard to take perfect shot in a city, but it's there... That's why I said PERFECT, yours is VERY GOOD, but not PERFECT.:D

interesting . . . . . . . are you saying that Zeppelin's shot is PERFECT? seeing as you voted for him

no offense to Zeppelin, but his last pic was much brighter than this one and IMO better. his entry this week could have been so much better if it was brighter.

I like it, looks good to me. If it was lighter we would not be able to see smokes.

Wow my pic's stirring up a lot of comments this week. I agree that it could have benefitted from being a little lighter, but I just liked the atmosphere and moodiness created from the darkness- sort of as a contrast from last week's shot of the same subject. Thanks to all those who've voted!

It's hard to get a perfect shot in a city, but if you have an eye for clusters of buildings and angles in the city, one can take fantastic pictures. Take a look at my history in this competition and one could find several good pictures. ;)
