I took this over the weekend during a trip to Chicago for a wedding. I thought you guys might find it interesting, or maybe cool. I plan to use it as an avatar, but I can't until I post more messages. Oh well.

First off I take offense because I am a photochopper. It would of been cool if you would of phrased it differently. Second, I don't know whos a bigger idiot me by photchopping your image. or you by spending $4,000 on a Nikon camera, posting a picture on the Internet thinking your not going to get ripped off, and having an "idiot" photochop your image to prove you can't get around it... Im not doing this to be a dick, but if you really want an image not to be used, don't post it. Because me and 10000 other people will know ways around your "Watermarks". Didn't mean to burst your bubble...

Second, the point of the post was not to challenge someone to rip my image. I did not even bring up the subject.
Third, I have been using PhotoShop since version 3, so I will say "PhotoChop" whenever the **** I want.
Last, if you think that someone can't tell that your version of the image has been altered, then you must be blind. I would post a challenge image, but as I said, that is not the point. Furthermore, since you're are immature enough to open your mouth and prove your an ***, you would like just say "oh, that is the original".
At any rate, like I said, not the point of the post.
Nice picture. I would have enjoyed it even more if it was the drivers side mirror.
Nice work.
Nice work.
Im sorry, THIS was me, first time Ill step into this whole damn photoshopping fiasco. I do not care what happens to photos with no watermark on them, as far as Im concerned, they are public property unless you say otherwise on the picture. Ive posted pictures of my car, if I didnt want them edited, thered be a BIG fat watermark on it, as I have put on the pictures of my reflectors.
but he put a watermark onto his photo. he inherently requested that his photo not be edited, if you want the real thing in high res, PM him, if he wants to give it to you, thats his perogative. but I dont think its right to remove his watermark. his right to the picture was not infered, it was explicitly stated, dont infringe on that.
hopefully this doesnt spark a huge debate again, I did not mean to offend anyone, but I mean if putting a watermark across your picture doesnt protect you, what does? how do you request that your photo not be tampered with?

NOT 1 person would notice anything
my $500.00 camera takes better pics and I CAN PROVE IT!
PROVE IT!! PROVE IT!! PROVE IT!!
for the record... the photo is hosted on my350Z.com meaning it is limited to 640x480 and like 100kb. my 2mp camera can take a picture larger than that... so its a mute point to argue about quality of photo unless the original was posted.
lets please all not argue over a picture... its a picture. thats all, lets all be friends.

Alright, this is my last word: no $500 camera beats a D100, period. Pick-up a photography magazine if you have questions.
Ares, again, thank you. Please lock or delete this thread for all I care. It is too late for it to be of use to anyone.

damn wicked relax...
nice pic.
I bet the original looks great.
I have a $400 canon S30. I takes great pictures. I love them. My buddy came back from a surfing/fishing trip to indonesia and mentioned he and another guy split a $4K camera. Mind yuou these guys aren't techies like I am (ahem) so I assumed they got ripped on some lame digital camcorder...boy was I wrong. The pictures these *amateurs* took with adigital cam (from a rocking dinghy) of each other pounding some serioous waves were AMAZING. You could almost smell the sea and feel the force of thundering 15ft swells....
so yeah $4K pro cam >>>>>>> 4Mpix consumer cam....(shouldnt that be obvious?)
