 3/4" Pine. It's been awhile since I used my band saw, got careless and took the top of my thumb off cutting these pieces out. :(

Cropped, adj saturation, USM, little tweaks here& there. Not a whole lot.

I can't believe that 5 is the peak of your score curve! I'm amazed that so many people couldn't be bothered to move the cursor up to "6"... and why 10 people hit below 4 is just a mystery. It's a nice piece of work, and for those that think it's too much woodwork and not enough photography are just blockheads :P

No, but I thik you should stain it and make it into a picture frame. Or, if you have a ripsaw or bandsaw, you can probably slice those (thickness-wise) and get a set of three out of those same pieces for a nice triptych arrangement.

If you're the "toast" guy, this one works way better as a total composition. The background works perfectly with the ribbon...nice contrast. I can't wait to see what you'll make it out of the next time! 6

red or yellow wouldn't be out of the question either ... looks like a great frame for displaying winning DPC photo's... If I ever do that I'ld like to get one of these frames!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/25/2005 02:27:23 AM
Cute idea and very creative. I like the composition with the scraps and sawdust around the DPC ribbon. The wood grain shows up well. I just do not care for the lighting much, especially at the bottom of the picture. 7
