Pretty obvious that the background was clipped out....

I try to take a pretty liberal approach to the application of the rules in terms of including photos in the contest. This is meant to be fun, and if the photo seems to reasonably comply, then I include them. Blowing out/over exposing the background is a photo processing technique. If the application here isn't quite to your suiting, and if you prefer another photo given the selections please vote accordingly.

Agreed its dodged out which is a process ver achievable with film in the developing process and still as captured. OF course proper masking would have helped it signifcantly as far as technical quatinity I've got it down to 3 others but its going to be a little while before I decide which I prefer.

Number 3 got my vote.

I had a similar idea, but never took the shot.

Something is really missing here; where the heck is "Swifty"??? I though his owner was getting a replacement P&S camera? I also thought Juan was promising something whimsical this month?

For #1, please stop by the Tips thread and let us help you with masking techniques. Loved the photo initially, but the more I look at it makes all the rough edges stand out and distract. We'd be happy to help you learn new stuff.

#2 I've seen that bum before. DS is sexy!

Motor, brilliant photo! I like how you can actually see where the car will drive. Dig the sunspot too!

#7 Nice phallu..., err, obelisk! Cool photo!

Psst...Speed, how many exposure layers did you use?

(It's a cool photo tree wall and car perfectly exposed, and even thoug the cars on an angle I'm not getting that tilt my head sensation because fo the line on the wall)

I like #7 - it is 'hiding in broad daylight' - nice how your eyes are drawn down to seeing the little Mini at the base

Old school, one exposure and used ACR for all image adjustments. 5 min edit tops.
I only layer exposures when there's >5 stops between elements in the photo and because I'm too lazy to add graduated ND filters from film days into my camera bag. Easier to do in post.

I personally hate overly tilted photos. For this shot though I was attempting something different by highlighting the lines of the old cannery building. It didn't come out as obnoxious as I thought it would and I'm very grateful others don't seem to think so either.
