Hello,

I really like the pictures this month, some really good ideas. Well done everyone.

This is my first assignment entry so I hope people like my hound's drinking habbits

I really like the birds eyes, that was a great idea.

Mark, that is one creative and freaky photo. It reminds me of Count Dracula.

haha...thanks guys! I think I've been watching too many spooky TV shows like Supernatural & the Ghost Whisperer!

Hi, Great photos so far and were only just more than a week in. Good idea with the theme being not just optical reflection, I'm hunting for some less obvious shots this month but I've being trying out a few water shots at Bolton Abbey - Yorkshire:-

i don't know you guys how much you do know about ps... but to get a great picture out of nothin' is imposible.. considering just the basic editing (contrast, saturation, sharpness, levels, curves).. any other thing i consider it photomanipulation..

sometimes a good photo can become a great one just by editing a bit in photoshop.. i don't get it, why everybody's making such a fuss about it.. those stuff could be done in the dark room for film photos too..

cheers,
HNV

In the essence of "On Assignment", I was inspired by this month's theme to create and capture an image that I wouldn't ordinarily go out of my way to create or capture. I can go out any day and take pics of scenery & people etc., but votes or no votes, I'm really happy with what I created.

Isn't that what On Assignment's all about? Challenging your creative side and letting those juices flow

Oh, my gosh da duck o' the day! He appears here...

you know what? If I KNEW HOW to ps my images I would be all over it in a heart beat...I appreciate that talent, everyone knows it was a photo that C.Mark edited, and I like creative abilities, no matter where we find them..once, I read, here, I think, that digital images ARE all FAKE...they are not film...they are illusion images...electronically captured...and I say push yourself to the farthest limits of your ability, your dreams, your knowledge..don't let your camera limit you...there is so much more you can do, if you know how.

I think the image posted ChinaMark is a standout...and I am glad to see the challenge, the forethought, planning, and time spent creating this image for us is much appreciated...
not all folks feel like that, I know, and are more pureists in their approach, but for me? I like to see what is out there...At the start of this, the "thememaster" said to use our imaginations...and I like that, just fine. my imagination right now, is limited by my ability to produce what I know can be done...
or in the words of Jimi Hendrix..."I know what I want but I just don't know, how to go about gettin it..."
No worries here, I like it when we explore, and I like it when we explain it...that is why I am here..to learn...
thanks for teaching me just what can be done, ChinaMark.
