Right, just did it again. So all you see is the winner pic, right? Under the heading "Kid in a Gelato Store" there is a path. When you click on "weekly competition" you get to the same competition but now with the comments.

Hope that works,
Prieni

Gwyn, it's in the competition itself. Go to Competion, click on comp. #58 and then scroll down from there.

Thanks Daniel!
On the blue bears, I took them from the same bag that the black ones were in
I didn't miss the shadows on them, just couldn't get it right (though I succeeded yesterday evening). That leaves the shadows of the black ones (they are still too light).
The submitted version (as well as the slightly improved one I have now) is more like a "proof of concept", i.e. I now know what to do; it's only a question of doing it properly again (which admittedly is a bit dull )

I was quite pleased with the shadows with my single point light source (AF540FGZ), but I guess one could play a bit more with the position. Also having a big enough background (instead of the three sheets of A4 paper) would save some time in removing the edges.

BTW: Did you notice that the "false colour" of the blue bears is more apparent on the thumbnail?

Terry, I'm sure there were some Norwegian ships in the mix. Just didn't happen to shoot one

Right, can we put that forward to "understatement of the year", please. This is bl@@dy marvellous! Yes, there are some problems with the sky but I think that could be salvaged.

And looking at it a bit longer I think you even could leave it like it is. Gives a bit of a "painting" feel to it.
And everything below the horizon is awesome!

If you don't like the 10-20, maybe you could throw it my way...

He's here (was out on my lunch break, sorry).

Babelfish did a good job on the first part.

Thank you very much for your purchase. Details on this (referring to the purchase, presumably) you can find below. The total due amounts to AU (I'm assuming that this refers to Australian dollars).

But you got that much from Mike's translation, I guess.

Prieni

Not true, John. I can see it in this thread!
Update while I write this:
The answer to my report tells me that now you're right, I shouldn't be able to see it anymore when linked (how quick was that? Kudos to the PUT!). But I cannot test it immediately as the "adult" tag for my image has been removed

Prieni

I did submit a photo to the gallery yesterday and marked it as "adult" (I like to think that I am taking grown up photos. No nudity, though, just a test).
When I now switch on the adult filter I don't see it any more in the gallery (well, expectedly so). When I look at my portfolio, though, I had expected to be able to see it again. But I don't

I guess I have to look how to file a report...

Prieni

PS: This is the image in question:

Good job that I kept a childish mind, otherwise I would be filtered out like all the other adults that used to frequent this forum...
I think it's good to have a place where we children can be amongst ourselves.

You should perhaps go for the "draganized" look.
I had a play with that for the self portrait weekly competition a while back (I'm looking much better, honestly
