LOL! Great shot, Wally! Congrats on POTD!:) #1138366

February 28, 2005

Although it is well executed I feel this type of image
degrades photography as a valid art.
#1138463

Janet Kinney February 28, 2005

Great job. Great imagination. #1138553

Peggy Wolff February 28, 2005

I LOVE it Wally! You have the most wonderful sence of humor and I love how you bring that into your photography! Congrats on your POTD! #1138611

Audrea Telkamp February 28, 2005

A big congratulations Wally!! Brilliant!!

Like any other valid art form, photography is evolving Jon. There are so many different types of photography to embrace and enjoy, please don't miss out :0) !! #1138630

Marta Azevedo February 28, 2005

fantastic work #1138633

February 28, 2005

You have a lot of nerve calling this a photograph. It is graphic art, part of which may have been created with a camera. #1138640

Mary Dorman February 28, 2005

This is way cool . . . I would have cropped it in half, and made TWO spectacular shots . . . but that's only personal opinion. #1138709

Wally Orlowsky February 28, 2005

Thanks again for all for taking the time to comment. Jon and Ed, I won't bother to engage in the futile argument about what is valid photography and what is graphic art. I respect your right to your opinions. #1138862

Eric Highfield February 28, 2005

What is art, if not subjective? Some people question the artistic validity of the "Dogs Playing Poker" paintings, others quite like them. If all that photography is about comes down to capturing a moment in time as the eye would see it, then maybe we should question it's validity. Just maybe photography is also about revealing the image inside, as the mind sees it, and any tools or techniques that help them get there should be commended not condemned. What I don't understand is the continuing need for some people to prop up their idea of art and photography by attempting to sour the successes others that feel differently. It's not necessary.

Congratulations on your POTD, Wally!! It's very creative and well executed!! #1138960

Karen Engelbreth February 28, 2005

Stacey M February 28, 2005

WONDERFUL WORK WALLY!!!

It's a shame the "My art is the only acceptable art" critics above (Jon and Ed) don't have the photos in their gallery to back up their theory!! Guess their limited vision doesn't lead to many photographic opportunities!

Sorry Wally had to say it!!!

This is your day to shine, don't let anyone rain on your parade!! WTG!!!!! #1139202

Darren K. Fisher February 28, 2005

Larry Lawhead February 28, 2005

Great shot Wally, a real smile to start the day. Ed& Jon, I see you're both newbies here, perhaps you didn't understand the BP supports a wide rage of the photographic arts??

Mary L. Lemley February 28, 2005

Hey from Alabama at 12:51am on Tuesday! I just wanted to let you know that penguins are my absolute favorite of the "WildKingdomWorld", and my pc being slow just added to my sheer delight as this potd rolled slowly down to reveal my favorite so far. Now....could you teach me how to combine pics. I haven't even figured out how to eliminate scratches or dust. I have Arcsoft, but the tools won't do what I want them to!!!! Mary Lemley #1140097

Susan C. Barnes March 01, 2005

This photo shows that you put a lot of work and thought into it. What is photography if it is not to present to the world what the world looks like through our eyes. Don't we all enhance our photos sharpness, color and so on because only we saw the origional and we want everyone to see it as we did! Hats off to you Wally for showing us the humerous side of life, as you see it. Job well done. #1141209
