I like the real prop idea but so many snakes, so little props in the house.

That's what makes it a challenge

I favor the idea of making photoshop and real props both qualify. It's still some effort to do photo edit than it is to come up with decent props. I like the real prop idea but so many snakes, so little props in the house.

yes - it's still an effort, but it's a different creative process; taking a photograph with a potentially uncooperative live subject in it is a very different effort from patching something that bloomed in your brilliant mind into an image on the computer
what we're having here is a photo contest, and I think both of those images should be moved (perhaps into a newly created collage contest???)
otherwise it'd be kind of like asking your chem teacher whether you can just do a little internet research instead of labs today, because you hate wearing that face mask

They should have had the Iowa Hawkeye football and wrestling teams come down there and clean things up as they are proven monster destroyers. lol

Photoshopping will be allowed this once. Personally, I don't like it, but I will allow it.

It's not my place to tell you on what grounds to reject a candidate when it's time to vote, either.

it really is a nice piece, and I do think we ought to perhaps run a photoshop/collage contest with a theme once or twice a year
in a way I'm glad my theme brought this up, even if I'm still a tad disappointed about the lack of enthusiasm about the physical staging of it

[drache]

that's what I'm talking about
it's been an awful mess of a day and you just made it all better
I can hear Ima Sumac doing the sound to this

Well, they do enjoy their challenges.
