My Entry

Wasting Away in Miami

Orignal

FIXED: Had a white border on it but you couldn't fix it. I fixed it by adding another small black 1 pxl border.

I didn't do a lot background-wise but I feel it's come out very postcardy.

Same with mine. I went for a realistic feel. I mean.. there's not going to be freakin' grunge and abstract backgrounds on a postcard, is there?

I really like yours Jules. I don't care for AD's though. It looks like one of those images you would see on a porn site. I wouldn't buy it. Yours I would buy though.

WTF?

[Guest Morecello]

Very long story. Theres a certain porn site that shoots alot of movies in Rio and it looks like an image off of that site. I accidently came across it while searching for some pictures for a school report.

Good luck to everyone...loving what I'm seeing from some of you thus far (Y)

But, uh...Flowzen? Rules say "Size: 450x300", yours is waaaaay over that mate. I'm loving the graphic, but it's a bit too large.

"Wish You Were Home" - I took the idea and put a twist on it, that in all honesty, wasn't completely my idea. I was doing this same exact thing about a year ago, but for a class I was in and they were for the U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Everyone's said "Wish You Were Here" with pictures of places where the troops were from. However, the teacher's husband was in Iraq (the cards were going to his troops) and the one she sent for him said gave the this idea.

Now, to be honest, I loved this when I first finished, but now I'm not too big on it.

As for the other photos, they are all photos taken by me or my mother. One of a kind stocks (in a sense). The guy in the uniform is a friend of mine who is in the Army.
