Dirk,

I much prefer this one to your official entry

Certainly an original idea.

Thanks Hyram, but the serious things in the serious places…

I can see the Weekly Competition is fast growing international! I smell this week a kind of Denmark´s touch (quieten mouth).


Best regards.

Dear Dirk,

My humble apologies to you and your wife...

Steve

Dear Steve,

You don´t need apologize for this, and don´t be so severe with yourself. I also had many times a “Dirk could try harder” during my scholarship.

All we (the entrants) know that the principal proposal of our Weekly Competition is just for fun and mainly for learn. The judge position (you debuted with) is the most instructive, interesting and helpful part of this competition learning tool.

I did the judging work twice, and I can say without any fear of fall in a mistake, that after the judging’s works, I began look in the camera viewfinder in other manner, with completely other mind.

Thanks very much Steve, for your kind words regard my last judging work. I feel honored!

EDIT: Deleted paragraph.



Best regards.

Congratulations Mc Brian for the well deserved First Place! And thanks Promhandicam for judging the comp.

This is the first time I have had to judge this sort of competition and as others have found it was quite daunting.

Dirk1000 – You and your lovely wife I take it? Forgive me if I am wrong but you appear to have added your wife into the photo – judging by the way the left side of her body appears to have been chopped off. If it is a photoshopped composition then I think it would have been better to have your faces closer together and cropped a bit tighter to loose the joint line – I’d also include the top of your head.

Steve
As you say above, Steve, judging a competition sometimes can becomes in a little daunting job, and also the images first impressions can be inadvertently misinterpreted.

The image is the original version of my entry. And the obvious differences are PS (and my own) devilry.

Steve, don´t worry for this; that is part of being judge!



Best regards.

Photo of a 15 years old photo (film) shot with Minolta srT101. The oroginal copy lost the colours, so the best way was the B&W convert.

EDIT: title typing mistake.

Hey Dirk,

it's not as easy as you make out. If I would search and submit today I might have changed my mind comes Sunday (or Tuesday or Wednesday or ...).
Guess I have to roll the dice when to submit.

Good luck,
Prieni

Make your entry today, and later, when you change your mind, feel free to edit your entry and change the image so many times you want. Doing so, all we will have the good luck to see more than one of you very good photos. This is valid until Sunday MIDDAY UTC.


Best regards.
