 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Patre I like the idea and the way the water plays off of the swimmer's hands. I also like the top vs. underwater contrast and the theme and setting.

 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman this  is  really  good,  but  some  dumbass  already  used  all  his  votes  (me)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase yeah,  thanks  for  NUFFIN  shaman!  (cept  for  the  kind  comment.  :)  I'll  expect  you  to  use  some  voting  restraint  in  tomorrows  contest  :D)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman sir  yes  sir
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman but  you  know,  ever  since  you  said  something  about  that...  my  votes  just  tanked...  thanks  for  nuffin  too  ;)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman i  guess  i  will  just  keep  my  mouth  shut  from  now  on  when  im  out  of  votes
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper Wow...I  am  surprised  this  has  so  many  votes.  It  is  not  horrible,  but  it  is  not  as  good  as  everyone  is  saying.  I  think  a  lot  of  these  votes  are  an  attempt  at  getting  on  Showcases  good  side...so  he  won't  make  overly  critical  comments  on  your  entries.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper That  is  a  shame  considering  some  of  the  other  great  entries  in  this  contest...
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman apparently  im  sending  out  mixed  signals....  my  thanks  for  nuffin  was  a  joke  and  a  play  on  his  thanks  ....please  lets  not  forget,  if  you  dont  want  to  vote  for  me,  thats  fine....  but  id  love  to  hear  comments  from  all  of  you  people..  good  or  bad.  cheers
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | marcoballistic I  think  this  is  a  good  chop,  different,  funny  and  original,  uses  the  source  elements  well,  while  I  am  constantly  getting  top  tips  from  Show  lol  and  people  say  he  doesnt  post  enough,  I  think  this  is  one  of  the  more  interesting  compositions  in  todays  comp
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase first,  relax  TheShaman.  Im  just  stirring  the  pot,  if  you  will.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase now  Clonestamp,  nobody  cares  about  getting  on  my  good  side...whether  I  make  critical  comments  or  not.  I've  made  what,  a  dozen  "critical"  comments  in  the  past  week  or  so  and  a  few,  dare  I  say  have  even  made  a  difference.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase you,  Clonestamp,  are  treading  on  thin  ground  suggesting  that  these  good  people  do  not  have  a  mind  of  their  own  and  are  scared  of  getting  a  mean'ol  comment  from  me.  Thats  sounds  ridiculous  dont  you  think?
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase psst,  marco,  thanks  you.  no  more  bad  comments  for  you  this  week  !  HA!  I  kid...I  KEEED!!  I  offer  no  mercy  :D
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman quit  stiring  it!  and  start  smoking  it...  ive  never  been  this  upset  here  before!  thanks  for  that  ;)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase so  clonestamp,  what  is  it  you  dont  like  about  this  image?  What  is  it  that  sets  it  back  from  some  of  the  other  good  chops  today?  I'd  like  to  know,  believe  it  or  not.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase any  time  TheShaman.  its  good  to  get  the  blood  bubblin  sometimes  eh?  I  didnt  mean  to  upset  you...but  internet  lessons  are  sometimes  the  harshest.  ;)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Da_Dude well  Showcase..  I  was  trying  to  get  on  your  goodside  cuz  you  called  me  weird..  uhuh!  And  now  gimme  that  cleaveland  steamer...  buddy!
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase umm...no  thanks  ya  weirdo!  you  are  banned  from  commenting  on  any  more  images  of  mine.  BANDED!!
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Da_Dude hehe!  oops
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | nancers OK,  it's  no  secret  around  these  parts  that  Showcase  and  I  have  had  at  it  a  few  times.    That  said,  I  would  like  to  comment  that  anyone  who  looks  at  this  image,  can  see  the  amount  of  work  and  attention  to  detail  that  was  put  into  it.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | nancers It  is  not  a  simple  "paste  the  people  into  another  scene"  image,  nor  is  it  a  "paste  something  into  the  picture"  image.    Nor  is  it  of  questionable  moral  material.  :P    So  even  though  at  times  I  do  not  like  showcase,  I  do  like  this  picture.    My  2  cents.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase and  we  will  go  at  it  again,  and  again,  and  again...until  you  beg  for  a  breather...or  something.  ;)  (thanks)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Alex Ok  ok...  Since  everybody  wants  to  know  what  the  GREAT  Alex  thinks  about  this  one,  here  it  goes.  That's  crap.  No  wait,  that's  mega  crap.  j/k  you  sons  of...  This  pic  is  one  of  the  best  out  there.  No  matter  what  mister  clonestamp  thinks,  this  is  good
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase thank  you  Alex.  I  will  await  your  vote  now  :P
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Alex I  honestly  don't  undertand  the  frenzy  everyone  is  talking  about  regarding  this  contest.  Folks,  look  back.  There's  some  great  posts  in  this  one,  but  nothing  compare  to  the  last  days  or  weeks.  Anyway,  i  don't  care  about  Showcase  and  still  like  t
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Alex You'll  have  to  give  1$  to  BrotherDoug  to  have  my  vote...  ;)  hahaha
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase ahem...I  meant  "Thank  you  GREAT  Alex."  sorry.  :)
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Alex ok...  Since  you  said  I  was  GREAT...  But  dont  get  me  wrong,  I  really  think  I  am.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase HA!  thanks  man....and  is  it  me  or  does  Nancers  sound  a  bit  scared?  :P
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Alex Yeah  I  think  she  is...  But  the  most  important  thing:  nancers  is  the  sexiest  mod  around.  (Since  you  left)  BTW,  it's  great  to  see  you  both  post  again  here  and  there.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper I  don’t  think  it  is  ridiculous  at  all.  You  have  a  lot  of  great  entries  in  your  portfolio,  you  have  a  lot  of  talent,  but  do  you  honestly  feel  that  this  entry  deserves  the  amount  of  votes  it  is  getting?
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper Have  you  looked  at  some  of  the  other  entries  in  this  contest?  the  15  to  9  vote  getters?  Some  are  just  as  good,  some  are  better.  How  else  do  you  explain  the  amount  of  votes  you  are  getting  compared  to  them?  Votes  from  friends?  you  tell  me...
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper As  for  the  thin  ground  I  am  treading...I  couldn’t  care  less.  I  think  a  lot  of  people  will  agree  that  this  is  not  worthy  of  as  many  votes  as  it  is  getting...and  if  they  don’t,  that  is  fine.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper Why  is  it  that  if  I  make  a  comment  about  an  entry  getting  too  many  votes  I  am  treading  on  thin  ground.  If  you  make  the  same  comment  you  are  voicing  your  own  opinion?
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper I  never  said  the  entry  was  bad  or  didn’t  take  time,  I  said  it  wasn’t  worthy  of  this  many  votes.  It  is  not  one  of  the  best
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase yup.  I  do.  why  dont  you  tell  me  why  it  doesnt?  I  think  you're  just  upset  about  the  mean  ol  comments  I've  made  on  some  images  in  the  past?  if  you  see  something  thats  a  flaw  or  lacking,  by  all  means,  point  it  out?
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase see,  the  difference  is  you're  just  doing  it  for  spite...I  cant  help  you  when  you're  so  full  of  spite.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper Full  of  spite?  Are  you  serious?  Here  is  what  I  have  a  problem  with  in  this  entry...since  you  asked.  The  dog:  his  shadow  doen’t  look  right,  he  is  too  bright  or  his  color  is  off  and  he  looks  like  he  is  just  pasted  on.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper The  Water:  there  is  no  ripple  on  the  surface,  there  is  no  depth.  it  should  be  darker  under  the  surface,  The  shadows  of  the  fish  and  of  the  swimmer  don’t  seem  right.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper lastly,  I  don’t  know  why  you  would  put  that  clip  art  at  the  bottom  and  the  pixilated  font.  What  I  think  is  done  well  is  the  effect  of  the  water  dripping  off  her  arm  and  the  bubbles  from  her  arm  underwater.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase the  difference  with  you  commenting  about  too  many  votes  and  me  commenting  about  it  is  that  I,  at  least,  try  to  provide  for  my  statements...I  dont  do  it  out  of  spite...or  anger  at  another  member.  I  dont  make  it  personal.  you  have.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase the  dog:  Ive  always  said  I  struggle  with  shadows.  it  was  the  best  I  could  do.  I'll  continue  working  on  it  tho.  As  far  as  too  bright?  I  don't  know.  its  laying  in  direct  sunlight.  I  pictured  it  being  shiny  like  the  hair  on  the  orignal  girl.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase the  water:  There  are  some  ripples  and  its  a  calm  day.  I  liked  it  better  without  all  the  distortion  to  the  tree  reflection.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper how  have  I  made  it  personal?  The  comment  about  getting  on  you  goodside?  I  think  you  are  trying  to  make  it  look  as  if  I  have  attacked  you  in  some  way.  I  have  no  grudge  against  you,  you  have  never  commented  on  my  entries.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase her  shadow  and  those  of  the  fish:  I  left  out  any  shadows  for  the  fish  since  I  thought  the  light  source  was  at  such  an  angle  they  would  be  too  far  right  to  be  in  the  picture...the  rest  I  already  said  I  sometimes  struggle  with  shadows  but  I  keep  tryg
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase Clip  art:  I  thought  it  added  nicely  to  my  frame.  call  it  artistic  flare  if  you  like.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase well,  look,  if  its  not  out  of  spite  or  something  personal,  then  you  must  be  trying  to  be  like  me...which  I  admire...but  you're  off  to  a  bad  start  my  friend.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | clonestamp trooper provide  for  my  statement?  I  said  it  is  getting  too  many  votes  and  I  provided  that  I  thought  it  was  to  get  on  your  good  side.  Do  you  think  I  need  to  elaborate?
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase yes.  I'm  a  nobody  here...washed  up...jealous  of  all  the  votes  other  people  get...ask  anyone.  why  would  people  want  to  be  on  my  good  side?
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | Showcase anyway,  you're  off  my  christmas  list  now  Mr.  Clonespiteful  Trooper!  Thats  right.  no  bulk  card  with  a  cheery  handwritten  message  inside  for  YOU!
