 Had a few too many beers ... I'm on vacation. I wasn't going to enter anything for the Matrix Challenge, then I realized I wouldn't have anything to track during the week. So at 10:00 I put on my suit, my glasses and tried out this concept. I wanted to try a kick, but I soon realize my days of karate and Tae Kwon Do are over. I was going for a super shallow DOF effect, but this is all I could get.

One big peeve ... hairy knuckles. Grrrr. It's bad enough that I had to put on a suit during my vacation, I wasn't going to shave my knuckles. lol

Had fun doing it. Back to drinking beer.

OMG. I just noticed that I used ISO 800. Oops. It doesn't look grainy at all. I love this camera.

This is great - very simple but perhaps the most imaginative pic I've seen so far in the challenge.

As cliche as it would have been, a green tint on this photo would have added some interest. Overall, I like the composition a lot!
