Seriously, what is this all about?
Is this some Aussie urban legend/superstition?

I've heard of an Aussie drop-goal, but never heard anything about bears...

Haha. Don't know how many non-Aussies are going to get this, but you made me laugh.

I hope you'll explain this in your notes. Not one I am familiar with.

Interesting legend, I had to look that one up. As for the picture, it's ok. Certainly meets the challenge, but is a bit lacking. I find the background distracting, but it's hard to pinpoint anything else. Just doesn't capture my fancy. Wish I could be more helpful.

I'm not familiar with this superstition or urban legend, but as a photo it seems a little on the busy side. A shallower depth of field to blur the background would help some.

What is this all about?
06/28/2006 06:24:41 PM
I'm afraid I don't know what this means!
06/28/2006 01:47:55 PM
I didn't know this legend but anyway it's original. 6

not sure of the superstition nor urban legend here but I find the feathery stuff on the bears left arm quite distracting. i do however really enjoy how the forground colors are muted while the background colors are more saturated. thats very cool.

Gonna have to look this one up. The tones are quite cool and I'm not a fan of that.
06/28/2006 07:44:55 AM
Don't know this one. But its a fairly nice image. Maybe if it looked more like it was falling enstead of sitting, it would pull off better.
06/28/2006 07:41:41 AM
Sorry, don't get it but I won't count that against you much since I think this challenge have a limited amount of universal appeal.
