Round 4 - DVXUser Photography Contest

Great shot Horse! I had a sense that was yours! Nice nice sky replacement. I love the major touch-ups that are so natural they are undetectable! Nice work!

Mine was the meters. I am not a city person, so my creativity drooped this round. I will try to Oooh and Ahhh you this next round.
 
Here is my boring image:

Now I need to rest this weekend to see what I will shoot for contest 5, I don't want to dissapoint people again.
Maybe a landscape showing the beauties of Greece.
 
The following is my image. . .

Most of you probably already new that since I did have a shoot with the same model, and it just so happend that we wanted to do a downtown night shoot.

Here is how it was done.

Here are the original images that were then later combined into the above composition.
 
this is my image....it was over cast that day. Maybe thats why it seems blown out. I also need to work on my PS skills.

This one was mine:

I just saw this portrait being taken, and quickly asked the parents and the artist if they minded if I took a picture (I told them I was taking a photography course-not such a stretch, really).

It was taken with my aging (5 or 6 year old point and shoot Olympus digital), so don't know what the settings were.

The other two pics I considered submitting were this one of an aging hippy:

which I didn't use because I didn't like the garbage can in the shot,

and this one of a cop car:
1157770540.jpg

which I kind of liked, but my wife said was stupid.

The best thing that this contest has taught me is to really know the limitations (and possibilities) of the cam that I have been forced to use for this contest. It is an aging point and shoot digital with no control over anything, and an interminable shutter lag. But it can do a reasonable job with certain types of pics, which I am learning.

Am hoping to post comments tomorrow on everyone's pics. I'm riding 100 miles on my bike in a charity ride tomorrow (the MS 150), and expect to be totally wiped tomorrow evening. But I will try to post.

I know this is a little late, but what the hell. I took this a few months ago, and it's been my wallpaper ever since. I didn't know these forums moved at this kind of pace. Anyway...

This is Bondi Junction. Don't be fooled by the trees on the left, they're mostly for show, because behind them is the Harbour Bridge and the rest of Sydney. On the right is the biggest mall in the southern hemisphere.
