March Competition - The Result

[Donald]

Small entry, but the quality was high and this was reflected is the fact that the competition for votes was intense as the lead kept changing. But, it's now 24 hours since the last votes was recorded, so we can declare a result.

Congratulations to all, and well done Donald.

Three very good images! Very well seen and executed, Donald. A worthy winner!

Congratulations all, although I do have a minor issue with Manfred's (which has nothing to do with the skill of the photographer). The impact is all about the tattoo which is someone else's art work.

Congratulations all, although I do have a minor issue with Manfred's (which has nothing to do with the skill of the photographer). The impact is all about the tattoo which is someone else's art work.

I thought that the image was all about the completed work, which includes the model's face, her makeup, her hair styling, piercings and tattoos. All of these people can be considered artists as well. Add some clothing, we should also look at those as art as with any of the props in the image.

I have had discussions with makeup artists who do not like when a photographer retouches their work. Others feel it is a good thing. I've run into a case (the person was a philosophy professor at one of the local universities) who felt that any retouching of a human model was just wrong.

Sorry Bill, you can probably conclude I don't agree with you, but I can respect your views.
