1st Annual Rainman Member Appreciation Photo Contest

That collection is worth more than my car!

Funny thing is, if many of us only focused on collecting one thing (like Rainman's figures) we could have all that stuff plus a lot more money in the bank than we do now.

Oh, how I envy those with willpower

Big collection.

Forget the figures look at the room around them lol. Figures aside there's a collector with some serious cash! That's one hell of a study!

Does anybody have a problem with me submitting pictures I took of my figures and then had Devil_666 touch them up in PS?

I have a massive problem with it! Its shocking, scandalous and downright deceitful!

On a more serious note I don't think PS is a problem its all about the creativity right? It's the quality of the pose and atmosphere of the picture that counts so doesn't matter to me .

Looking forward to seeing the pics.

In the interests of full disclosure, in the first of my photos I removed and replaced the background in Photoshop. I'm sure this comes as a massive surprise to everyone who thought I had a cool cracked cement wall in my house.

You mean that was staged! I must say I am disappointed

Just spoke to Rainman. PHOTOSHOP IS OK TO USE.

As long as it's, as rainman said, "not a lot"

Yeah, it's unsettling when friends pull something like this. Maybe the original was better. You know, more immediate. Gritty. A nice glimpse of the Mexican pavers that make up my patio. Plus it reveals my unique way of using a light box as a background.

Good choice Mexico has long be the world leading producer of pavers

I have a feeling that table is more than your car. Mine at least

The more I visit this thread, the less I'm inclined to take and submit my meager pics.

Marf it's about celebrating Rainman not about the quality pictures..

Couldn't agree more. I am just loving seeing everybody's collection

The pictures are supposed to be your own work.

Is it? Rainman doesn't really describe his criteria for judging pics. Could be picture quality matters most. Could be the ability to represent the essence of the character. Could be creativity. Could be the degree of fun and humor. Could just be whatever pictures have the most impact on the viewer, irrespective of all that stuff. . .

Not referencing judging criteria only the motive of the contest.

I was mostly referring to the fact that I have a measly 1.5 Rainman figures...not sure if I'm worthy. But the quality of these pics would be tough to top as well.

A Rubric would be nice

I hope the contest launches a permanent gallery at Rainman's site.
