Challenge: The Eleventh Commandment (Expert Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
Date: May 10, 2015
Date Uploaded: May 10, 2015

 Many thanks to Christophe for giving me permission to use his fabulously created, fabulously imagined, fabulously presented images in my image. They seem to flow out of his camera's eye.

We'd like to dislike the guy, but... He is the epitome of humility, talent, and graciousness.

Yet still, we all know that there's no use trying to beat him in Expert. Ha!

:D *grin*

There are always only two ribbons available in any Expert Editing Challenge.

So be it. He earns every one.



It's Mother's Day today (Yes, I waited until the last day to start shooting)... and, after we went out to lunch together, I spent almost four hours on this image. My family is the best!

Then, we played outside together... and they fixed dinner for me.

I am blessed.


P.S. I'm wondering how many people will notice that this lens does not exist. :D

My quirky sense of humor.

Congrats on the HM. And nice to see you actually used some of Gyaban's images, I didn't notice at first (although I should have).

Thanks for the reference to my work, very kind of you! As for the message, to the contrary I'm delighted to see more and more photographers having fun with composites :-) And congrats on the Top 5!
