28-JUN-04 CROCODILE

when I was a kid, these clothespins always looked like crocodiles to me

I frequently played with them in pools, puddles, & buckets

Now they just hang around, waiting for someone else to play with them

Ummmmmmmmm . . . catch ya'all later . . . I got something I gotta go do . . .

A cool and funny picture!~Nice toning!And the best about it is the share of the same imagination of the clothspins!^_^

Excellent. Pete, I love the texture of the wooden "crocodile" and the angle of view you've chosen. The toning works great too.

Elizabeth Glass		30-Jun-2004 10:39
Oh, what wonder sepia toning and texture in this shot. Love it!

Guest		30-Jun-2004 02:35
Pete - this is awesome, love the title!

Anne Young		30-Jun-2004 01:36
Wow, I haven't seen a clothespin since I was a kid! Great shot! I like the sepia toning.

Pedro Libório		29-Jun-2004 21:11
I love the composition and the tones!!! regards Virginia!!!

Reminds me of the shot I did for the staple remover. I always played with them as a kid, imagining them as poisonous snakes. =) Great toning.

Guest		29-Jun-2004 20:39
I love the textures and lines in this. Great close-up.

Willa Dios		29-Jun-2004 20:15
This is a great image for sepia, Pete. I use these things for EVERYTHING! Love all these tones and textures.

:) Excellent perspective too :) Oh and treatment is perfect!

Stu		29-Jun-2004 16:21
Very nice. I remember when I had the imagination of a child!

Michael Todd Thorpe		29-Jun-2004 16:02
Good shot. I like the comp, the detail. I like the toning on this. Very nice.

Jill		29-Jun-2004 15:58
Me too me too as I feel my inner child emerge! Wow, havent seen these in years! Ahhh the scent of freshly dried sheets from hanging in the fresh spring/summer air. Go play...and then snap a photo of the many things you sculptured with these! ;)

Karen Stuebing		29-Jun-2004 10:51
Everything about this is wonderful. The DOF, tones, composition and textures. I use clothes pins to close snack bags. When I was a kid, we used the other/nonclip kind and painted them like people. Guess I had a deprived childhood. :)

Zak		29-Jun-2004 10:14
heheh, great snap! ;-)

Linda Alstead		29-Jun-2004 08:27
Absolutely wonderful shot - just love it!

Valeska		29-Jun-2004 07:08
I like the story and can we play together with them?

Argishti Khachik		29-Jun-2004 06:59
Excellent!

RodTO		29-Jun-2004 05:56
Nice shot, very nice colour effect and dof.

Jude Marion		29-Jun-2004 04:59
BEAUTIFUL! This is very nice! I love the depth of field and the monochrome works really well! Nice one!

Guest		29-Jun-2004 03:46
Beautiful! I love the toning.

gary becker		29-Jun-2004 03:38
From the thumbnail I thought this was a crocodile... Very nice image.

Carmen		29-Jun-2004 03:30
Love the DOF on this, and the heavy patina of rust on the metal; great shot - it has "memories" written all over it. Trusty little buggers...never did like the plastic ones as much.

Guest		29-Jun-2004 03:27
Very nice!

Guest		29-Jun-2004 03:13
What perfect toning! Looks as old as those pins!

Rick Lewis		29-Jun-2004 02:54
This is a real thing of beauty.

Guest		29-Jun-2004 02:07
Cute prose!! They do look like crocs! Enjoy playing!

Gayle P. Clement		29-Jun-2004 01:52
I looked at this saying "Ah" over and over. Beautiful! And as many times I used these blamed things as the oldest of six, I can't believe I can find beauty in them! Great work.

Robin Reid		29-Jun-2004 01:45
Well done Pete. Excellent image. Too bad it reminded you that you have to go hang your clothes out to dry!

Karen Leaf		29-Jun-2004 01:24
Outstanding! Love everything about this - and the smell of fresh sheets!

jude		29-Jun-2004 01:23
Wow.. and I mean WOW, Pete! this angle is excellent! love the sepia tones.. I gotcha beat.. i used to use the sprayer on the end of the hose as a gun.. I can hear it now... PEEE-Ewwww PEEE-Ewwww.. yeah they used to make fun of me too

Guest		29-Jun-2004 01:10
Lovely tone. I too used to play with these things! The pain :-)

Guest		29-Jun-2004 00:56
I used to put these in the bathtub thinking they would come alive. It never happened. GREAT texture. Great shot..

Guest		29-Jun-2004 00:54
Love the rendering. Fits your story, and the texture of the clothes..er, crocodiles. Well done.

Larry Ahern		29-Jun-2004 00:48
Great stuff!!

Gary Blanchette		29-Jun-2004 00:46
Wow! Now that is a cool perspective. I love it!
