3. Ian Dharma (WPD Member & This Entry's Photographer) - (8/5/2008 12:09:41 AM) As a clarification, this image was taken with infrared camera, and NO Photoshop was used on this image. It looks a little different than regular images.
2. Caroline Ghetes (WPD Member & Contestant) - (7/28/2008 8:07:39 PM) I'm not a fan of the effects used for this photo. It is unnatural and it seems the location would have been better portrayed in its natural color and state. There may be many that disagree, and like this type of effect, but I think it just draws attention away from the subjects and its surroundings too, and just makes it all about the effects instead.
