Manhole
by MFC

Anybody out there?? :)

Peeping thru the opening of a cornhole tournamant board.
Converted to a B&W, then toned.
______________

Playing cornhole seems to be a real "craze" where I live.
My friend(pictured) makes cornhole game sets as a hobby.
Here's a >LINK< to info about this REALLY FUN game.
I play it all the time :)

Mike, this is one cool photo. How you continue to come up with this stuff is beyond my comprehension, but I for one am so glad you do. So well done, Mike. Congratulations! --Nancy/JoseNoway

Mike, ditto, ditto, ditto on what others have said, simple and superb. I particularly like your choice of toning on the man...what technique did you use? -Michael Puff

Thanks very much for the comments! johnebones, I guess this is mostly high key (board, hat, eyes); except the face and hands still have the usual tones/shadowing. Lenwoodbluz, I really like your idea of trying one with a child too...I just wanted to place a "man" in the "hole" for the humor :) MFC

Oh wow! So simple yet so ....WOW! Great idea. Your imagination is second to none. I wonder what it would have looked like with a child peeking through the hole? there is always something about the eyes and innocence of a child. Congrats on another great piece of art.

A fabulous and humorous shot Mike. So clever, well done, and just plain fun to look at. And I learned something, as I've never heard of that sport before :-). Melanie (mlynn)

Mike, I keep coming back to this image as it is so interesting, funny and neat. Great job. Susan

Ha! - this is really funny, Mike, and wonderfully creative. The 'eyes', i think, are the strongest part of the image. Bev

Oops, I forgot to mention how much I like the B/W/Toned conversion! Great job there! Oh, and his eyes looking up "Make the photo".Bill
Bill Borne09-May-2004 13:35
Wow, Mike. Your photos are always "Top-Notch", but added to that you always come up with a very Origianl idea. You are always thinking! I live near corn crops but never heard of...corn-hole tournamants? Bill

MFC..Now that is really climbing into the challenge!! Perfect toning on the hands as they enter the stark whiteness of the dimension on the other side of the opening. Great idea, composition,expression and well executed..very good titling as well..irish_eye
