It can be intimidating to act very strange in public for these forced perspective attempts, I have to agree! :D I find shooting people that I do not know extremely intimidating, and it is much funner if you can find a volunteer friend. Because there are many attempts needed sometimes.
When I first tried the monthly Cartier-Bresson/photojournalist projects here at the forum, it felt like a huge fail for my attempts. But afterwards, I felt a lot more comfortable in public in general. It's worth it to try even if you're not immediately achieving what you were hoping for. Long story short, great job on getting one submitted! :D And there is still a week to try some more out.
Deviations from the classic Mr Bean head pinching can be effective. And don't worry, this will not -- i repeat -- will not happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTvGk8Bhasg Promise.
Maybe try picking one specific style that you see repeated in these lists and websites devoted to force perspective, and go out and try that exactly. Copying the process, and not the image.

WHOA. What the heck is that! I love it!!! Gurgling planet in its early stages of life. Morphing but not. Soupy and still. Fiery and plain. Freakn awesome.
Couple of years ago, posted some images, good comparison Warren.
Dan
Fantastic Mother Nature view, indeed very nice shot and create the image...:-)

Oooo creepy S path in an empty forest..... Darker and Darker grows the night.
Nice tunnel affect and enhanced via B and W.
Dan
I think I know where is the place, great B/W and framing...:-)
Lena,
This is looking uphill, I thought the slanted trees seemed to be beckoning the viewer to walk in there. :)

Beautiful composition, nice B/W...:-)
Lena,
I agree, the compression artifacts are only noticeable at PP levels, and this should print up quite well. If you want send me a full sized jpg, and I will see what the Epson can do with the file. As far as the black bird goes, the bird looks a little soft. What was your point of focus, to me it seems the ice plant to the right is sharp. Is this a AF setting issue?
Regardless, nice new tool for your upcoming trip.
Why would you not shoot RAW, keeping extra SD cards shouldn't weigh you down too much, or perhaps just bring a portable drive and move the images as needed? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/828315-REG/Digital_Foci_P19_320_PST_251_Photo_Safe_II.html
Dan
Dan, the point of focus on the bird was its head, but I think it was in motion, so perhaps a small amount of motion blur happened.
I think I have enough spare SD cards to allow me to shoot 100% RAW. I am not planning to bring laptop with LR this time, so all image processing will have to wait until I come home. If I shoot jpg, I can easily do some minor editing and posting on the road.
--Warren
Trees and hills that are so pretty :)
Kind of looks like a pencil drawing.
... and a very strange comic-book-like blue in the trees. Not sure what that is from. Or is it only my monitor showing that??
I see it too :)
Maybe it's their smell =P
jpeg conversion either in camera or in the sw?

Sometimes people need a place to enjoy nature by himself...nice capture...:-)
Lena,
How far does the music reach.. Filling the lonely air with hope...
Excellent create, nice shot Lea...:-)
Lena,
Lea, it seems you really enjoy this month's project. Your images are simply great.
Dan
Thanks, I have had a few chances to play with the scale of people and objects. That seems to be a good recipe.

Nice capture, I like the second picture, great detail and close up...:-)
Lena..
They look like they would make good pets. I too like the second image, because of the texture you see on its neck.
Dan
The second one is a story-teller... haha. Look at that cape and gaze! Love the detail!

I like image #2 Lena with the sky and the land both moving towards the sea.
Dan
The morning colors are wonderful. I agree with Dan, the composition of land meeting the water is well done.
**Dolph
Really nice sunrise colors! Great shots.
--WT
Thank you for every one your comments...:-)
Lena,
A party is missing something! Europe's streets have so much character, then you accent them with a yellow ballon. A moment in time never to be seen again.
**Dolph
The red ones float away..
nice framing, great capture...:-)
Lena,
Soooo adorable. I'm admiring the colours and focus you have achieved!

Great job capturing these fast moving little beauties! They seem to have their own little personalities too.
--Warren
Getting a picture of one of these guys is difficult, great job. I like the fifth picture with all the colors.
**Dolph
thanks all...:-)

The offbeat color tones added to the surreal qualities of the shot. Good one!
--WT
Reminds me of the straw man in Wizard of Oz.
**Dolph
Excellent shot. impressive by the tone. nice create..:-)
Lena.
Thanks all! Dolph, the Wizard of Oz straw man reference is awesome :)
Great, Dan - I especially like the one of the main reading room - the woman you caught in the foreground is in just the right location, and she looks quite academic. I also like the repeating patterns you made with the readers at their desks and the chandeliers. Awesome!
Thanx Steve, I will pass along your kind words to my better half, who is the woman in the foreground.
Dan, I like the last picture with the two oblivious of the painted people reading the newspapers behind them.
**Dolph
I like the last picture too,light and wall picture,nice composition, great shot...:-)
Lena,
Beautiful color and detail :)
--WT
We heard about an excaped bird from florida.....they have wonderful colors.
**Dolph
Nice :).
The bird's tail looks like a feather duster.
--WT
Fantastic alignment of colours. Love it!
This guy is really strutting his stuff. I like the colors.

Yeah, after doing a lot of telephoto work with the 100-300mm, I decided to use my 14mm wide angle for a few photo walks. :)
--WT
Beautiful sky clouds, nice framing and composition...:-)
Lena
I agree with Lena, nice framing and good use of B and W. So that is an equivalent 28mm FOV. I really like that focal length, wide but not too wide to distort the foreground.
Dan
I like how the cloud formation if following the lines of the pier.

Great scene Dolph. The child's hand reaching out is perfect.
