Very effective portrait, Paul. I like the realism, warts...err, scabby dirty fingers...and all.

Paul, I will give you some neosporin, some bandaids and some nose trimmers.

If you think Jano was going to give your bollocks her maximum support then ya dreamin' :>)))))
Rod 03-Dec-2005 10:10
That's not fair, I wonder if Jano was going to give me prickly thing shot all 5 points. By the way it’s not a bag of barley it’s a Barley Bag, the right way round & with capitals for maximum effect. Anyhow 5 points won’t get you anywhere cos no one else will vote for this as you’re one of the great unwashed.
Paul 03-Dec-2005 10:03
Thank you Aam. it'll be a close one between me mug and Rods bag of shite..oops..bag of barley, which is worth at least 4 points...i think..

Ok, this might sound stupid, but I quickly scanned all the entries so far. Lots of beautiful photos. But. This is the real one for me. This bloke knows how to take pics, so all my 5 points are for this ugly mug.
Paul 02-Dec-2005 09:35
All your shots look better with each unfolding carton of XXXX mate.
Rod 02-Dec-2005 08:26
How come it’s the end of the week & your hands look dirtier & your head looks uglier? All me shots look better with each unfolding day.........sort of.

Well done and very on topic! theFly

Excellent sp Paul for this challenge. Nice and detailed and wb couldn't be more perfect. Title fits the image well with those dirty and beat up fingers. Can't even think of a nit pick. :) jano
Paul 27-Nov-2005 10:03
Thank you Britt. Yeah, bugger off Rod. Ha bloody ha.
Rod 27-Nov-2005 08:40
:-)hehe
ctfchallenge27-Nov-2005 05:53
Let me do it Paul!!!

:::Ahem:::

Bugger off ROD!! teehee ~Britt
Rod 27-Nov-2005 02:33
This shot is now off topic as RK has changed the topic to fill the frame only. Seeing as though you didn't fill the frame but cheated in post processing by cropping out all the negative space (well not all, as yer head is still here) This should now go to the hole in the elephants bum.
ctfchallenge26-Nov-2005 11:01
Good tight portrait. Are you slyly giving us the fingers? LOL-alexoki
Paul 26-Nov-2005 03:03
Rod, you were unaffected cos this the the look for the girls and it's friday arvo and it's payday and nothing has such a positive affect on sheilas as a full wallet. Just a shame Shu thought i was hungover at 4 in the afternoon. Not that i wasn't you understand but....

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Rod 26-Nov-2005 02:20
Why didn't it have the same effect on me BB?
ctfchallenge26-Nov-2005 02:19
It's a good thing you have a woman Paul, I think I'm in love! :) Teehee ~Britt
ctfchallenge25-Nov-2005 20:35
I like this in color because of the fellow's eyes. Love that spot of brown. Ann C
aam1234 25-Nov-2005 19:16
Wonder how it would look in B&W. Give it a shot Paul.
ctfchallenge25-Nov-2005 18:57
Nice portrait Paul, manly hands and all....Yvonne
ctfchallenge25-Nov-2005 16:27
Yes, it's cool--- v e r y cool!! (I like it when a hangover is reflected in one's eyes!) shu
ctfchallenge25-Nov-2005 11:26
Cool portrait and expression and the reflection in the eyes. - RK
Paul 25-Nov-2005 10:58
That ain't hair hanging out me nose, it's me bloody finger you boofhead. I cut me nose hairs last xmas with the shears after we'd done the sheep.
Rod 25-Nov-2005 10:49
Fair dinkum wot a ponce, though I must admit that the shot does look very manly cept for one thing................Real men don't have hair hanging out their nose.................................we use clippers.
I do agree with ya that real men do like drinking XXXX & when they run out the Old Spice does taste good & does wonders for the breath.
Paul 25-Nov-2005 10:40
Gloves are for sheilas when they put something unpleasant in the bin. Hands ripped to shreds and ingrained with filth are the mark of a man, a bit like Old Spice... or XXXX.
aam1234 25-Nov-2005 10:29
Why don't you wear cloves then...oh, that's not manly enough ;)
Paul 25-Nov-2005 10:17
Thanks Aam, it's just building site crap, dust, dirt, oil etc and i have a nasty habit of skinning my knuckles and breaking my nails. As they heal i break 'em and skin 'em again. Hazard of the job. Emma whinges if i try to rub her legs with my hands, she reckons i scratch her. Rod's cut half his fingers off, the bloke's a clot.
aam1234 25-Nov-2005 10:11
Cool shot! but man, what have you been doing! Paul go get bandage or something or you'll get infection.
