 I took this picture in a rain forest in Costa Rica near Aguas Zarcas. At first, I thought it was a practical joke, but in reality this is an "untouched" root that sprouts from the tree and enters the ground.

Apparently some people do not have a sense of humor-glad you do. Keep up the good work.

Extra points for making me laugh out loud!

It's a little small... ummm the pic, I mean. ;-)

It sizes up. Nice Job.

You should utilize the the 640 size limit for this photo. Also, I doubt it will score well because of the way you used your subject. Good luck

Don't see how it meets the challenge and the photo is too small and dark to have appeal.
 10/15/2005 07:37:39 AM
too dark.

This is the type of image I would expect from a 12 year old. Sorry but for me this shows very poor taste and almost no photographic skills. The added marijuana leaf confirms just how serious you take this site and the photographers who actually want to learn something about photography. jmho. "1"

For having the sack to use the word phallic - 6

A little dark. "Interesting" though. LOL.

Work on making your pictures bigger; as close to 640 pixels on one axis. Those tend to do better in challenges. That being said, it's an interesting subject, although I'm not fond of the purely "physical" personifications. I'd rather it have tried to capture an abstract or emotional concept. "The plant, well endowed as he was, strutted around the forest like a bull in heat..."

Needed a better title
 10/13/2005 03:39:28 PM
