 This picture is silly...

I'm not even sure where the idea came from, except I bought these guys with the notion to use them in a picture. Ohwell! Not sure it's the best, but its kindof fun.

I wen't about editing this completly the wrong way, and it took me about two hours longer than it should have. Basically selected the buddhas, circles, lines, and background as different things. Blured out everything but the buddhas, sharpened this buddhas.

I'm done editing this now, really I am....

On another note, I hope not too many DPCers know anything about Paganism becasue I'm pretty sure this is way off...

I think the picture is good, but missed the conspiracy a bit

There is something very wierd with this picture, probably due to PP that makes the buddas seem to float above the symbol but you know what? It works! I also like the tones in the image. 7 from me.

Good composition, lighting, focus, etc., but I really don't understand the connection with a "conspiracy." However, if you say it exists, it exists. ;)

I think you mean controversy, not conspiracy. Who is conspiring for buddha to be a pagan god?

I don't know enough about Buddhism to get the reference, but I like the image. I wish there was a little more contrast and the surface seems way soft - perhaps deliberately blurred?

I just know somebody will be offended by this... But I think its a hoot! Great idea, great shot. Good DOF, composition, coloration.

THe lighting is extremely interesting...I cant tell if it hurts or helps..The shadows of the Buddas are interfering I think
