ahem, what is this?

maybe his barn door is open?

May be he is addressing his future children?!

Awesome shot. DOF is perfect on it. Greens and the rust colors are a great combo.

I DID IT ON PURPOSE, WHORE!

hey, does that little outburst mean i can kiss dj12lee's vote good bye?
oh who am i kidding! i wouldn't have gotten a save from him anyway.

Can you give me the reason you cut the limbs off? I really like this, but that annoys me when limbs are cut off....BUT if you can give me a good reason as to why you did it, I might be able to find a save somewhere in my cold, empty heart.

drspam says:

@bb: mostly i wanted to continue the momentum that starts with the little guy in the back, and moves steadily toward us. i tried leaving the ends of his limbs in, but it kind of ruined that forward motion that i liked so much, like the picture stopped with him. this way, it almost feels like (to me) he's stepping out of the frame, and the motion continues.
Posted 30 months ago. ( permalink )

bbikkerr1 says:

Or maybe like there is a whole army of them, including ones in front of that guy, all marching in a continuous line? I like that actually and I think I can see where you were going with it. It does have great momentum this way and I will take your word that having the limbs in hurt the momentum. I think its a great shot and great DOF.

I am not at all stupid, it really seems to make sense what he said...it is even what I was thinking might have been the reason. And who uses the phrase "hook, line and sinker" anymore?

Latvian fishermen do to be more precise. but the tend to use it it Latvian.

@ bb: I'm sure you're not stupid – just seemed the drspam spontaneously came out with a great reason to chop of his children's body parts. He was convincing ; )

The feeling of an army might have worked if the middle guy was in focus, and not the one at the front.
still. not too keen on this i'm afraid, so keep on marching little men. Out, out, and away.
