achiral....I owe you an apology.
When I read you comment about the finger thingy I had missed your comment earlier that said thanks for the light idea.
That was my bad.
I spent about a half hour photoshopping your photo to see if any of my comments about lighting were easy to do within the scope of the rules becasue I didn't want to make a suggestion that was impossible for you to have done. In my hope to have helped I lost track of the comments and missed your reply.
Now...after eating enough crow.
The lighting changes I would have like to have seen were not able to be done within the scope of the Challenge Rules regarding layers. This is sorta my only beef with the rules because using layers is at the heart of photo correcting minor issues like lighting and depth of field in digital photography.
Anyway, I'm not here to create bad feelings. Just to learn something.

Here is one of the recent comments I received
5/6/2002 (2:39:48 PM) - blatent americanism, and lack of diversity, and what is wrong with your lack of personal restraint in mouthing off in the forums about how you picture is doing. if i were you i would be happy you live in the US because we would have you in jail here for being a complete waste of resources.[

You guys are just feeding this fire...

I can see a flag with chewing tobacco. My first thought was the baseball caps, baseball pitcher, American, apple pie...chewing tobacco. ~shrug~ Fits to me. I like how the guy to the right has his cap on straight however, my only change would be the other guys finger and cap. It's not a bad photo. Like my totem pole last week, I heard 1/2 say it was great and DOP was killer and colors rocked and the other 1/2 was saying just the opposit. I even got one that just said... blah. One say...bad subject matter. I was like why doesn't a totem pole fit in the ground up ~shrug~ oh well, next week we'll forget the flag and totem pole and be on something else....something upside down :)

shiizaam, i thought your totem pole kicked butt!
i bet that for upside down, there will be some tricksters that take a pic of something that looks the same upsidedown as rightside up and then get mad. anyone want to take a bet ? : )
achiral, i think the main thing that would help your pic or any pic is the lighting. w/o getting nitpicky about the positioning of the people and stuff, the one thing that makes it not be 'pro' or whatever, is the lighting by on-camera flash. that just screams 'say cheese!'. if you really wanna flesh these out and make them pop, try what i said above. in fact, if i get a chance, i might try your pic idea. i could see it as a poster that would appeal to the skoal baseball crowd.

| Achiral, I wanted to elaborate a little more on your picture and why I think it was a great idea. Around my area of the country the guys that use Skoal are just like the guys in your picture. They are flag wavers, basball cap wearers, and they could care less who they impress. The tobacco companies always show these model he men types that are pleasing to my eyes, not the guys that use the stuff. You targeted your audience well. I think I know what I'm talking about here. My husband, brother-in-law, and lots of our friends dip snuff. Shoot, I even tried it a time or two myself on a dare. |

You lowered someone's score because the wind is blowing the wrong directions?
