Sharpen, Contrast, Saturation, and adjust levels.
Open up your mind oh as you do I will find you to hold you to breathe you in like breath like water to life. I will need you for each moment I am in your arms I cry and then I die silenced by your seduction. I bleed a lot of myself out onto you just open up your mind feel my pain slipping in-between before I die.
Falling out of time touching off on you this lust, lover, dust, ancient need to fall in love, touching caresses lips over tongue demand me to you. My heart in your hand and the lust of my desires burning deeper than the layer of my passions adding pressure to whom I have become and what creature I sustain myself as being driven to see drove me deeper inside despair.
From the whore I run from into the night that I fight until the morning light at the dawn of day which always comes to usher me away I sit and I wait for love’s ultimate decay. Not anymore shall I find it above looking for an angel to entangle me with her gentle elegance and stunning beauty no more not now her beauty decay’s with me in my age.
Just be what you see how does it make me a monster? What do you need what if you were wrong and the arguments we seed together reap something darker in the shadows. Do we need to fuck in this phase of perfect bliss gone mad release yourself be freed. In your confusion you have become the future raided insanity of lust looking to change the world. Just open up your mind and feel it there before my hands touch your body and open you wide.
I love you secretly and then dangerously I find my idle hands engaging in their dubious nature towards unraveling their whorish throws of desire to find myself destroyed right front, left rear to find you making out in the dirt. There inside down below outside with you I feel flush nude, pulsing blood, angry ambiguities loosing and then passions of our anxious folding of our self-flesh becoming one as each other’s coitus union finds us deeper in our passionate throws.
I am slipping beyond myself to find that in you I am a founded person built on a delightful fellowship of lust which said: come again and I think that I am a man trying to remember when I am silent without breath and remember the moment of troubled fears being found because of you I am haunted without you though you do seem so familiar within a dream of you I slipped, I took the ride of death rattle roll giving up control.
Within my system I am allowed only so many tangible realities that now seem to over take my life dividing me to the innumerable pieces that strive for their survival. Where in my flesh there are stories that are held there but very little of my mind will ever find it’s way out of their riddles to unwind yet clumsily be able to stagger along as though I am the part to always be left misinterpreted really only finding an easier passage to hold you the aghast, ghostly, Angel. Dangerously, drowsily I followed what I thought was the road leading away from perdition as a man of men who had once lost their way in his bouts of derisive confusion, which had over taken me as insanity raided faith. Then there on my knees left to shame I discover myself broken tethered and withered by the wear of your humble smile and my need to make you understand that I fall desperate back to earth bearing the scars of our sinful, lustful, desiring love…to be in love, to make mad love, to lust when lust already subsided only then falling backward again as dust.

interesting. I gave you the 10...becuase the whole package of this made me smile. Clever and cute. Ahhh..and now I see you've added more...the story behind the photo? The scary part is that I get it. Whatever the soul tortured angst that exists in you...it exists in me too. You have written it out very well. I can not express as well through word...so im hoping to do it with photography. Good luck....

As bug photos go, this is really nice. For the challenge? It doesn't work for me. |

Yuk. Nice definition on the wing. I'm not sure it's really newspaper material though ... :) |

good macro, but can't see this in a newspaper |
|

I don't see how this meets the challenge, besides it being a picture with little to keep one's interest. |
|
|
06/27/2004 02:01:02 AM |
I don't think that a newspaper would ever print this as the title of a story. |

that is just plain disgusting. doesnt even fit the challenge. |

I'm having a terrible time with your image - trying to find a way I might see it in a newspaper. Except for the terrible white band at the bottom - the exposue seems accurate and the red eye provides a point of interest. But honestly, other than that, it has too many flaws for me to give it more than a mediocre score. |

Nicely detailed bug macro. I don't know if you meant for it, but I find the bright bar across bottom quite distracting, maybe try cropping most of it out. I'm really trying to stretch the boundaries for this challenge and think of all the different sections of a paper, but sorry, i think this one is kind of being "shoehorned" in. perhaps a different title/headline sounding more "newsy" would help. |

I'm guessing he'd go into the Obituary section...poor lil' guy! It's a pretty good macro shot. A little soft on the focus, but you can still make out a fair amount of detail. The bright bottom line is a tad distracting. Your caption (title) might help your photo make more of an impact and a connection with the voters if it were to read like an obituary typically does, but that' s just me assuming the voters might not "get" this one. I think it's a good attempt at the challenge. :o) |

On the positive side the DOF and focus are good. The subject matter is not one that I would expect to see in a newspaper and not one that is all the interesting, at least to me. I also find the edge of the sunlight a bit distracting. |

hmm, i dont know what newspaper would print that headline. |
|
|
06/23/2004 02:14:12 PM |
yuck. how is this newspaper related? |
|
|
06/23/2004 06:58:55 AM |
Err I don't think this photo would ever show up on a newspaper. There's not very much detail in the dark/black areas of the insect. Also it should've been shot where you can't see the shadow of an object. |
