This is not what I would call a photograph - the end result is so far removed from "photography". A montage, a collage, etc. but no longer a photograph. I also don't find it particularly interesting. Last year's grand prize winner was another over-manipulated digital collage. Bleah. >What about the glamour first prize winner? What is this, james bond >circa 1974?

I think the cheerleaders should have been the grand prize winner. Excellent photojournalism. --Mike Nosal - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
