It appears to be a South American Capibari (i can't explain why its teeth are wrong though)

Now that we've established what it is, i think a more important question to ask is just why it's biting its own tongue off

Delirium · May 8th, 2008, 01:12 AM

well if you looked like that, wouldnt you do the same?*

i suppose i should enter a new pic... supposedly...

*and to top it off, you're forced to ride a carousel pararding your freakishness for all of eternity

-------------

i quite like the pic

I'm glad i posted it know, its good to have some randomness!

oh BOO!

Delirium · May 8th, 2008, 01:50 AM

well... now we now know why she's so upset, she's been forced to ride a retarded Capibari while everyone else gets to ride horses and not only that she is getting gawked at by some creepy old man

mukkjoy · May 8th, 2008, 02:01 AM

***gothicform*** · May 8th, 2008, 03:57 AM

touche my good man!

I like it Mukky, the crop works well, although I don't think the sepia is needed, the pink top draws your eyes to her, and then her expression makes you want to slap her. (I hope she's not reading this!).

Basically any picture that is not from an urban setting. Sunsets, mountains, arty pics, animals...etc.

mukkjoy · May 11th, 2008, 12:29 AM

hows it gonna run. totally separately to UPC and every two weeks or as a special?

***Medo*** · May 11th, 2008, 01:06 AM

A one off competition that will take the place of the regular UPC.

mukkjoy · May 11th, 2008, 01:23 AM

fine but i think you better start shouting it from the roof tops as some people might be suprised come new comp start day. oh

are you going to issue new rules for it like i don't know......only reflection pictures are allowed to win, something like that

feel free to

me

keep it up fella!

paulmat · May 11th, 2008, 12:54 PM

Took Toms advice and cropped the top off this, what do you reckon? Like I said on the photo thread, it does give more of a feeling that she's staring up to heaven (IMO). However my main complaint is it looses the standard photo shape, but if I crop the sides it it looses the feeling of space...

I like it a lot (naturally

). The big version is wonderful, very dramatic. Looks like a scene from a graphic novel, somehow slightly two dimensional, which isn't a bad thing.

The last tiny bit of advice would be to edit the very top of the shot so that it literally fades to black, as if she is looking up into the eternal void, to match her expression..

paulmat · May 12th, 2008, 12:03 PM

Yeah I was thinking that, but i'm lacking good image editing software on my new computer.

I think i'm in agreement now though. Looks much better without the pillars!

paulmat · May 15th, 2008, 11:21 AM

I'm quite looking forwards to this Un-urban photography competition. Is it literally anything that isn't urban? Or has it got to be landscapes etc...? And are we sticking with just things in the UK?

It's a shame we're only allowed two entries. I've got loads I want to submit

***Medo*** · May 15th, 2008, 05:26 PM

I will make a sticky thread for the upcoming un urban contest where all your questions will be answered. Also I may bend the rules to allow 3 entries per forumer.
