[Fodderwing]

JTB_5 - Joshua, I will take a shot at it. It's a mighty fine photo and reminds me a great deal of Will Power's style.

@5K Qs:

"My non-alox SAK of the week:"

Ok, Ray. Here goes:

Any guess?

Would require some study on my part so I defer to others for the guess BUT other than the great knife - your lighting is pitiful, the color rendition is off, and the composition is derivative, simplistic and utterly devoid of relevancy.

Otherwise I really like it and am glad you have joined in the fun. See - no judgement at all

Ray

I've been told - here on BF - that I'm "not nice".

Ok, Ray. Here goes:

Any guess?

I don't have a guess, but it's a good looking photo!

(Just saw Dwight's guess of Will Power, seems like a good guess.)

This has been such a great thread Barrett I have been particularly impressed by the @Pàdruig imitations

Thanks, Jack! I could have never come up with such a great idea by myself.

Dylan was one of the first people that came to mind when I was thinking about this whole thing. I think Chin (@Cambertree) made an excellent point about Dylan's photos being so distinctive and recognizable that they're difficult to replicate, but I'm glad we had so many people try!

LOL. I just spotted this. Too funny for words!!!

I completely agree. That remains one of my favorite posts of the thread!

I was thinking of imitating Taylor, but I'd have to buy some nasty beer I'd never drink!

Yes! I was aiming at Will's style with the foreign language print and small trinkety-like object on the side.

I think you just cured my chronic self-degradation. I feel pretty well put in my place now.

It was!

I can't imitate him presently, as I'm at work

 

[JTB_5]

Here's one more. I think I've got him pretty well pegged, but we'll see what you guys think:

Ok, let me start by saying THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this thread/giveaway. Your posts were all fantastic, and it was really a lot of fun!

Now it's time to pick a winner!

If you've participated in any giveaway that I've done before, you might remember that I don't particularly like to do the random-number-generator thing. It's just a bit impersonal, and not all that fun. So I got out a pen and some paper, wrote all the entries out, folded 'em over and dropped them into my favorite hat.

( JTB_5 , don't worry, I got your second entry in the hat, as well. I started working on this before the noon deadline and, not expecting any more posts, took that first picture a little too early. Just wanted to let you know that I did get you in there twice. )

Once the names were in the hat, I enlisted the help of my trusty giveaway assistant to reach in and pull out a winner.

And the winner is...

Fodderwing !!! Congratulations, Dwight! I'll send you a PM here shortly.

Thanks again, everyone, for making this such a fun thread!
