Thanks for the Eye Test Patti.

Looks like he has his nose stuck in the ground or is it stuck to the grindstone. Happy Mother's Day Patti. I know you already had it March 8th but I didn't wish you one then so better late then never. Love your post and the fun looking for the Owd Timer. Have a good day.

Forgive me here Patti, I was having a lil' chuckle at the views piling up ... but, no brave soul ventured forth till Ed commented.

Took me some time and I think I found Bob ... and it most certainly helps to display the largest resolution size ... that said ... it is a side profile of a masculine face, w/beard and appears to be laughing, mouth open ... eyes somewhat closed. My best guess.

I examined your photo/image for any telltales signs of a manipulation, couldn't find any. That lead to thinking/looking a bit more broadly, as well as, the thought 'it has to be somewhat front and center' ... perhaps I am correct?

And more importantly, are there any cookies being given out for prizes??

:oD

Textures are quite nice. An artistic soft spot with me. Good composition too.

Caveats? And in my humble opinion? Some adjustment of white balance perhaps. That or Levels. To my eyes I see, for lack of a better colour descriptor ... a slight yellowish cast.

It is indeed a 'warm' photo and with the light play works fine. Just trying to add some value to the thoughts contained on my behalf here. No slight or affront intended, rest assured.

Ok, I shall wait by my mailbox on the arrival of my prize package then.

It ... uh, is on it's way, isn't it? With my guess/locating of Owd Bob?

Humour me ... if incorrect. :oD

Took me a while to spot OB - I was searching for a bench lol.

Seems there was not one handy, so nothing better than a stretch out on the forest floor . . oh dear until the Fogz doth appear - and now OB is stone I fear :)

Question is, who's the Medusa that turned him? I have my idea but I'm keeping quiet. I don't want to be the next one to get petrified. And do I get a prize for being the most unobservant Caedesian? I still can't see it :-( Great fun though Patti and I believe you that he's in there somewhere!

Bob can be 'found' by viewing this image ... here. Two Bobs, really ... for the price of one.

This image has been brought to you courtesy of the caedes.net administration.

... ...

Patti was ... er ... somewhat persuasive in soliciting our help in this matter. She can be quite 'bewitching' when she wants to be ... as you can now see. :oP
