is this the game where one shoots water in their mouth? looks like an octet of singing clowns to me, and i'm only slightly creeped out.

the colors are very vivid and i can't see any sort of grain, this is great.

thanks for all the comments! i agree, i don't know what i was thinking with the border, and you're right, black isn't a light color, but i didn't have a lot to work with. I would've liked to have kept the whole strap in the frame, and actually, i'm not really happy with the crop, but i was having some issues in post processing and i got frustrated.

Shark!

Unfortunately, my scanner can't get the negatives done right. I picked up a couple of extra rolls to shoot in my Holga, if I ever get a v500 type scanner. I had not developed film in over 30 years. My kids thought it was really cool, and really old fashioned. So that was fun.

thank you very much. the scanning was super easy, and i'm starting to get the hang of developing. epson makes some other scanners that do negatives that are less expensive i think, and i've heard you can buy refurbs direct from them if they have any in stock. I think it's the old fashioned nature of it that makes it fun, and i'm sort of addicted to the grain :)

Thanks! I didn't even notice that about the shapes, but you're right, the lines are pretty much completely parallel. I'm so happy you pointed that out! When I first bought a d-slr, i took a picture of the back of the building. It has a lot of graffiti because even in broad daylight the person would be hidden from view if nobody was surfing or fishing. By far the most interesting part is the cross, that's why i'm happy the picture i took captured it.

I love the colors and composition. Did you sharpen at all in post processing? Just curious. I think this is an awesome picture. Nice work :)
