One of these is the fruit of my, now retired, loins...

Does no one keep their natural hair colour.(this playbook wanted me to spell colour the American way).

Mine's 100% natural dark brown.

Mine too. At least that's what it said on the box.

I thank you....

Here's the four people I've made:

Mine's natural. Sorta golden blonde... though every now and then I throw in some wild colored streaks, just for fun.

And where's the pic of you using your, um, floaties?

Asking opinions of the artistically minded (or art appreciative type):

Do you think the "color splash" edit adds or detracts from a photograph? Me, I think if a photograph can't stand on its own with a bare minimum of editing (contrast, noise, exposure, dust fix), it's a shite photograph, but Luke was encouraging me to play more with post stuff, so... Say your worst, if you think it's a dumb technique - I'm already of the opinion that it's something a picture should be specifically shot for. But as I'm on my last week of the summer semester, I haven't had a lot of time to go out shooting so I just used some older to oldish photographs.

I like color splash. Being fond of vivid color that stands out and black and white photography, I would feel that way. I don't really care what other people think. It is a way to emphasize an object that is impossible to do with even the best photograph if you don't edit, so fuck the photo snobs. Give me a gorgeous chick with chiseled cheeks and color splashed red lipstick any day. It cannot be overdone.

To be honest, though, the flamingo one doesn't work. It has to be a stand alone object or the color splash takes away the suspension of disbelief, if I can be so bold as to use that term when talking about a picture. It's just the only term I can think of to explain it. Were it one flamingo, the picture would work, but the colorless ones behind the colorful ones threw me off.

You know the problem with Flamingos? They don't even taste good. All day, nothing but eating shrimp and lazing around, still, hot baked shit (and they don't even dodge the buckshot).

Worthless.
