Jacklyn, This discussion is really between Gary and his Snaz contest photo team. Please take this topic off the FPBAA list and try to resolve amongst your selves. After some "personal disagreements" in the past, that I have had with others on different topics on the forums myself, it really is boring to most, since they can do nothing about it. Please take no offence by this suggestion and observation and try to resolve this privately with Gary and his crew. I know they all work hard to "get it right" and I know you take your painting very seriously and do a good job of it as well. Just know that BOTH sides are doing their best.

It was not my intention to attack him in any way. I just said his name because its a competition we al know and I just wanted to know if anybody else is refused on a regulair base because of editing they did not do. (Got a lot of mails anserwing that question, so I'm far from beeing the only one, that allready makes me feel a lot better;0). But you guys are right, I should have kept that in between, had nothing to do with my real question: I wanted to know how to solve the problem. I wrote it in frustration, I was so happy with the beautifull pictures, it was a project that I wanted to do for a long time, I did the whole paint in only 4 hours and turned out great. And the photos turned out fab too. My best work ever and then they get refused!!! > > A lot of people now told me that it does looks edited and there is my problem because its not. I never edit my photo if I send them into a competition. I think thats fooling yourself. And this photo I did not need to edit for my website either, because it was perfect the way it was. > > > > I had to use a lesser flash to keep the wolf from turning all white, the backdrop became to uniform and looks edited > > > > Just one person gave me a tip in how to avoid these circomstances and thats to make sure you light the background. The painting is the most important thing offcourse, it has to pop up the way I drawn it. Sometimes with a very light drawing I use daylightlamps on the ouside, and it does show the background more. I never took any notice, because I use the lamps only to be able to photograph the colors just the way they are. So now I know should use them every time to make sure you can see the background is a backdrop. > > > > It was not my attention to make it personal. I wanted to adres a problem which I think is going to be there all the time. > > My husband now has figured out how to use the camera in such a way that the colors pop out the way I have drawn them, my pictures are perfect now and do not need any editing. And I like the uniform looking background. But now I have a new problem: it looks edided, very frustrating. > > > > Now I should make two kinds of pictures: The ones in which you can see the background in details for competition and the one with a uniform background, which I like to have on my website. > > > > So Gary, I like you, we have met in Orlando and went to diner with 6 of us. Its not about you, and I'm sorry it came out that way. You are right to refuse edited pictures. I just got frustrated, thats all. > > > > I have attached some more pictures of the paint, in which you can clearly see my hand! And yes, for on my website I would make that hand black. But I have enough pictures without the hand, so I do not need to. > > > > I guess you can't see if its edited all the time, those pictures prove that! But how do you solve the problem without having to make a lesser picture????? > > > > I got one anserw, which I think makes a lesser picture because I like the background to be uniform. > > > > Anybody? > > > > Vriendelijke groeten/kind regards > > Jacklyn Suiskens > > Grimeerstudio Magic Faces > > > > Stop de WAUW- factor in Uw evenement! > > > > SintJanstraat 16E > > 2323 Wortel België > > Tel 0032 3 2957841 > > GSM 0032 473 722518 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > www.magicfaces.be > > > > > > > > detail indiandreams 3.JPG > > 1927KViewDownload > > > > P1090081.JPG > > 3066KViewDownload- Hide quoted text - > > > > - Show quoted text - > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Face Painting and Body Art Association."
