This is AWESOME John, that GORGEOUS falls are so inviting, it is no wonder Clyde chooses this place to relax, WTG!! <><

8/14/2012 1:31:52 PM

a cool creation!

8/14/2012 1:32:47 PM

Fantastic dd work, John! Never ever seen a camel by a waterfall, but I guess it needs to fill its hump.

8/14/2012 1:33:29 PM

How creative is this!!! I thought I was seeing things...a camel by a waterfall in a woodsy scene? Beautifully done, and I agree, "Sooo funny" is where it belongs!

8/14/2012 1:58:37 PM

Looks like Clyde is admiring the beauty of the falls, John! A really cute shot!

8/14/2012 2:10:09 PM

Hi John,LOL!!My friend.Clyde sure hase a nice place to get a drink of water.Excellent DD work,beautiful waterfall!!!

8/14/2012 2:11:53 PM

Excellent DD work, John. Very good imagination you have. Beautiful and fun capture.

8/14/2012 2:26:33 PM

Amazing work, John! I admire you!

8/14/2012 2:46:46 PM

Either way you enter this John, its a fabulous entry. I love the way the camel reacts to the waterfall as it appears to be pointing with its nose for people to notice the amazing view. Very well done and glad you're feeling better.

8/14/2012 2:53:14 PM

I am still laughing my friend, so it must be the right choice, super work John!!

8/14/2012 2:53:39 PM

LOL It is an outstanding waterfall image that takes on a whole new life with Camel addition!! Great work John!!

8/14/2012 5:25:41 PM

Clyde doesn't look like he knows where his other background went!! It is a beautiful waterfall , so I hope he appreciates it

8/14/2012 6:13:11 PM

I am glad, you are feeling better to create something that fantastic as this, John! Amazing work! Beautiful background!

8/14/2012 6:41:01 PM

Perhaps he's just perplexed at having his feet in water instead of sand! Cool creation - and glad you're feeling better!

8/14/2012 7:21:18 PM

Ha! Ha! I love this, John! I think the Camel is confused as to how he got there! ... but he is taking in the beauty of it all! Gorgeous capture of this fabulous waterfall ... and the added humour makes this image extra special! Excellent DD work and presentation! :)

8/14/2012 7:40:11 PM

Terrific darkroom work, John, and definitely with comic results! It would work in both categories but I vote for MT. Beautiful depth and detail, too!

8/14/2012 7:42:14 PM

Excellent work, John!

8/14/2012 11:27:25 PM

Now that is really cool! He must be filling those humps up

8/15/2012 3:22:04 AM

Lots of fun John - Nice work here!

8/15/2012 5:26:14 AM

John

Thats a great work,full of colors and funny too.

Ysa...

8/15/2012 7:17:40 AM

Over the top funny John!

8/15/2012 10:45:40 AM

Terrific work and capture!!!!

8/15/2012 12:27:11 PM

Many thanks for all your kind comments!

8/15/2012 1:26:10 PM

Right choice John I would have gone with funny as well. Great camera work with long exposure to veil the water and the post processing to add the camel. Glad you are feeling better.

8/15/2012 2:40:37 PM

Thanks a lot Emile!

8/15/2012 4:52:43 PM

I am totally impressed with this exceptional job you did in DD, John! I don't have PS but I imagine it must be incredible fun. Your capture & creativity are top notch! Good luck. Glad you're feeling a bit better.

8/15/2012 6:11:50 PM

Guess Clyde is in awe of all that water, after all, the desert doesn't have much ... great dd work.

You also need to just enter the falls later, your veiling is soo kool John!

jo ann c.

8/15/2012 7:17:52 PM

Absolutely, enter it without the camel as Jo Ann said. Both ways, excellent images. Super dd work! Great imagination. He blends in well doesn't he?

8/15/2012 7:59:12 PM

Fantastic capture that is soooooo cute, John!!! Very glad that you are feeling better!!!!

8/15/2012 9:16:07 PM

Funny composition with great details John :) like it! good to hear you feel better...

8/16/2012 10:00:43 AM

Fantastic work and composition, John!!

8/16/2012 10:22:45 AM

A wonderful fun capture! I didn't know you were feeling under the weather, glad to hear your on the mend!! :)

8/16/2012 11:26:08 AM

Sooo Cool, John!
Great Job In DD

8/16/2012 11:54:22 AM

Great DD work, John! I wondered about camels in Australia, let alone by waterfalls! Well-done.

8/16/2012 2:52:46 PM

Thank you Patrick, Jo Ann, Phyllis, Ellen, Daniella, Max, Tammy, Wm and Katherine for you thoughts on this image!

8/16/2012 3:17:47 PM

You're right, this is a hoot. Good job.

8/17/2012 3:56:03 AM

Great DD work, John. Looks like you have some time on your hands. A terrific image.

8/17/2012 5:20:02 AM

Good choice, John. But if I were you I would enter it in both!
Wonderful wonderful creation.

8/17/2012 9:40:40 AM

Thanks a lot Daniel, Paul and Kiki, I appreciate your kind remarks!

8/17/2012 2:38:13 PM

I don't believe I've ever seen a camel looking at a waterfall. You did good on this, John!

8/17/2012 7:07:35 PM

Well done John! I had to read your comments to figure out why there was a camel in the woods by a waterfall.

8/17/2012 7:54:59 PM

Thanks Ken and Lou, I had heaps of fun producing this weird scene!

8/18/2012 3:45:01 PM

VERY WELL DONE! Your PS work is perfect! That camel really seems confused, I am sure that dont get to see an oasis this full of water and life. It has enough water to go for 3 or 4 days after a drink from here!
Jeff

8/21/2012 4:34:38 PM

Thanks Jeffrey, isn't PS a fun tool to work with!

8/23/2012 3:13:57 PM

Ha! I had to look twice on this one! Great concept and execution, John. Your capture of the falls should definately be entered on its own.

8/25/2012 6:57:46 PM

Very beautiful shot, John!

8/26/2012 4:41:21 PM

Well my friend it was the right choice after all. Congratulations on your wonderful finalist. Good luck in next round John.
