This has been a week of Flips a' Plenty. We had some 35+
submittals from members and and 16 from the moderators.
Seems all had a good time and there was a very obvious
improvement if flip quality as the week went on and the
concept was further explored.
Every single one has a good quality and this was very hard
to judge. Had to take a close look at the images and see
which one's just "grabbed" me and go from there.
Here's the collection, mod picks and another image below:
Congratulations to all, this was a lot of fun
1st Place: Dave Mills' "A Real Beauty".
Super creative and one that definitely "grabs" me. Much like
a caricature. Dave wrote: "If my sister-in-law knew I used her
picture for this she would have my head...so I used hers." http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=38066
3rd Place: Paul Lagasi's "Double Flip"
A most pleasing combo of color, patterns and image in this quadflip.
Looks like a totem, a sign board, a tapestry......and/or anything
your mind's eye might perceive. http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=37719
4th Place: Cheryl Slechta's "Cattle Egret Einstein".
Flips usually picture the unusual, unrecognizable final element.
Here Cheryl has done that, but definitely has re-created that very
recognizable Einstein look. http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=38145
Like I noted above, "Every single one has a good quality" and deserves
Honorable Mention and a definite lookback if you get time. Fun for
the viewer is trying to visualize the original. Thanks friends, been a fun week....CONGRATULATIONS to ALL!
