Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No:48 - New Life

Ok the results of salon number 48 - New Life is as follow's

1st place is Words with the frogspawn shot - welldone I like the idea for a great abstract shot and with the bright light it really turned out well.

2nd place is coupekid with the eye shot - again very imaginative and incredible detail, I zoomed the image in to fill my monitor and there was still very acceptable detail in the eye and lash.

3rd place is gina with the big belly shot - when I first looked at this shot I thought it was all a bit too pink and girly and gooey, but you no what everytime I looked, it seemed to get better or is that bigger well done you did right to change your mind.

I wanted to give all 3 first place really.
Thanks to everyone that entered they were all very good images and I hope words chooses a good theme for the next salon and the great thing is Ill be able to enter, yipeeee

thanks again and sorry if you did not win!
cheers
Ash.

Thanks for 3rd place Ash and very well done to words and coupekid.

I must say it was a very disappointing turn-out this salon and feel sorry for you Ash that there weren't more entrants. Shame on you all for not contributing.

Can't wait for your theme Words.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No:48 - New Life

Well done to all three, I too thought that one would be the winner.

As for not entering I just didn't know what to go and shoot. I thought it was one of these salons that would sort the men out from the boys!

I did think of the the pregnant lady and the new born baby pictures but I would have like to have done something else instead. Closest I got was a load of scaffolding up for a new house build near here that looked alright from a particular angle, quite abstract but even then I thought that would be too far from the subject of New Life.

Anyhow, I am sorry for not partaking Ash, I just couldn't get my head around any ideas for what to do for it

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No:48 - New Life

Congratulations Words. I knew it was a winner from the start. (I looked at my frogspawn pics and they were rubbish compared to yours)

Also Well Done Coupe Kid and Gina and of course Ash for running the Salon.

Looking forward to Words' new challenge.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No:48 - New Life

Congrats to Words for a cracking shot and well done to Coupekid and Gina too. It's always a bit disappointing when contributions are a bit thin on the ground and there was plenty of scope with Ash's theme. Come on lurkers repeat after me, "I must try harder", "I must try harder"......

jo

p.s. I won't be taking in part in Word's salon coz I'm off on my jollies next week
