Yeah, $5 isn't much. But hey, it's motivation.

Sy my girlfriend had to take all of these pictures for some MySpace-type social networking site (It's more like Vampire Freaks, for those of you who know what that is). Apparently, the site's admin wanted pictures of her to use on the site (creepy, I know, but she's 18. I'll let her make her own decisions).
Anyway, she took a few with me, as well. This one turned out somewhat well, in my opinion. I like it, anyway.

I'll send the winner $5 (I'll send a check or cash or something [yes, sending cash is illegal, so I "won't" do that). We can discuss payment methods.
If it's really good, I'll give you $10. I just want to see a sweet pic made out of this.

Suggestions: Dark, romantic, use purple if it'll fit.
Sorry if it's a bit big for your window. I figured it's better to work with a large image, then scale it down.

I lol'd when I realized you were the one wearing the fishnet.

So... you want it dark, mysterious, and romantic? Nothing creepy or grotesk right? Um...also any particular resolution?

The pic is already creepy and icky.

I second that. Your stock is terrible for manipulation.

Whatever suits your fancy.

You find that odd?
I wear it a lot. I've got a few friends who do, too. She wears one, too, occasionally.
You should learn that it doesn't matter what people wear. Goths can be gamers and computer nerds and soldiers, too. We're all the same on the inside. I just don't care what people think about what I wear.
:P

Creepy and icky? How so?
I smell stereotyping and closed-mindedness.

First of all, the picture is infested with noise, making it hard to achieve any good result. It looks like you already tried to make the rose black, and failed (that or it's semi-dead, or you spray painted it). Also, fishnets are made for the opposite sex, and they're meant for legs. There's no reason you should wear them, I see no purpose. It's just bad.

If thats what people like then you shouldn't care, I respect your opinion but respect mine when I find the comment you made very closed minded.

Oh my, that photography has horrible quality, I think my photoshop would shoot itself if it had to do anything to that.

Lesson 1 with photomanipulation: it's not how bad the quality of the image is, it's what you can do to make it look how you want.

i don't want your money, but use this if you want.

Dude the Topaz is getting old. It looked shitty the first time, and guess what? It hasn't changed.

What?

Well...
I'm glad to see something. I wasn't expecting to see much of anything.

My eyes seem to have lost the Add Poll selection.
Go ahead and post a vote.
We're lookin' at $5 here, guys.
Nobody's done anything... radical.
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate your effort, be it small or large.

No, the rose is black. It's fake.

noscottno wrote:I realize that I probably won't win due to our previous argument...

I'm not shallow. What you have to say about me has nothing to do with what you can do with my picture. Photomanipulation skills and personal opinions are in no way related.
Your picture has nothing to do with that, man.

(I think I'll post about the fishnet subject in the Caf

I added a poll for you.

XBC-Requiem · Post by **XBC-Requiem** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 9:39 am

Thank you. It is much appreciated.
So... 3-way tie. That doesn't help much.

:)
Thanks for voting, though.
