  • DESCRIPTION AND SETTINGS : There was a picture from years ago showing a man using a magnifying glass to inspect a punch card for hanging chad during a disputed presidential election. I cut that image out and saved it because I like it. Since then I have been think about trying to recreate something like that image using a magnifying glass. With this theme being circles I thought I would try to incorporate a magnifying glass into a contest photo. This is what I came up with. My wife refused to model for me so you are stuck with this selfie. I noticed I should have cleaned my finger nails before the shoot. And I was too lazy to clean up my act in Photoshop.
  • Judge's Critique: On Closer Inspection: Interesting idea, and yes, there are circles. See the visual critique for a processing idea. What do you think? By the way, it's a little unnerving having you inspect me when viewing your image full screen.
