100 Marilyns

[Runmonty]

As part of a swimming event at a local beach 100 Marilyns took part in a fundraising swim raising more than $25,000 for the Cancer Council.

I tried to give the first shot a Kodachrome look

Some Like it Hot (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053291/), myself included.

They're all good, but the legs walking in the street is…nice.

Really fun set! First shot is me fave.

These are unique because they are so unexpected and surprising. Your choice of compositions/crops is also unique and interesting. Very sharp exposures. Well done. I see why you edited one of the photos but I think you blurred the most interesting elements: the other slightly blurred blond wigs in the background and the unique Marilyn Monroe mole above her lip.

Lots of fun! I like it!

Thanks you all for your comments. It was a fun event, and the ladies involved seem to have a great time.

Although I did manage a self portrait in # 4, it would have been good to have a more interesting reflection.

MB, I totally missed the mole and agree with you 100%, but the blurring of the wigs was deliberate.

Big fan of the first one as well and I really like the blown kiss but I wish she wasn't wearing a digital watch! :headslap:

Me too. Maybe I should get cloning. Thanks for commenting
