Chat thread for weekly comp - HEADLESS PORTRAIT

[Delamanda]

I find some of the most intriguing images are "portraits" that don't have heads in them as the body language can speak volumes.  Therefore this week's comp is a headless portrait - posed or candid.  Post processing permitted.

Pictures to be taken between 00.01am Monday 14th May 2012 to 23:59 Sunday 20th May 2012 .
Pictures to be posted in the entries thread no later than 23.59pm Monday 21st May 2012.
Poll will be up Tuesday 22nd May 2012.
Winner to be announced Saturday 26th May 2012.

Original idea! In the almost forgotten past, I used to do many such portraits, I'll have to go back there, and do it on purpose now!

After the colourful headless tourist I couldn't enter, because I shot him a day too early, here my actual entry.
In black and white (again), as it was almost a black and white photo anyway.

I think I`ll find this one like tilting my camera - just against my nature but might give it a go. My mum used to always chop the heads off but then that was unplanned 

Amother IE 9 issue for me these last 2 days - every time I type a response and press post I get a message saying IE cannot display the web page. If I hit back and do it three times it goes - you get anything like that Mick if reading?
Actually had to move over to firefox this time as it did ot work after 3 even. mmmm - seems ever since others questioned my use of IE it is going funny - is it a plot ?

Certainly a challenging idea, hope I can find the time and inspiration.

I'm using IE9 without any problems whatsoever. (That's probably testing fate!)

I actually shot off quite a few heads for this comp, but found this one 'said' the most. Edge of seat, slightly nervous and turned in the direction the bus was supposed to come from.

Eureka!

Well, maybe.

I have an idea. But like most of my ideas it might never take shape

An idea is a good way to start H.

A quicky from me - difficult to find a title as the shot was not at bedtime.

Looks like we had the same idea Andy, this is my take on it and I had the buy the flowers to boot.........

[Beaux Reflets]

If it had not been peeing down all day, I may have taken a shot with someones head in the engine compartment of our old banger, clutching a sledge hammer     (or a big pot of grease if I had one  ) - And with the house upside down due to the building work going on I guess I chose the quickest soft option, as we do not take a daily paper  .

Hubby was texting but after burning the candles a both ends yesterday, he was rather tired. He fell asleep mid text, his head dropped and well, I'm a photographer, would you have resisited? Looks like he has a TV head!

This is my 1st entry on here so be gentle with me.

[kerbside]

Sorry But looks like I am a no show for this topic, just could not find the correct subject.

Nice to see you entering Chris, but be gentle with you, come on, you know a lot on here and what we are like.
