I only thought of entering this challenge at the last minute, and this picture just came straight into my mind, so I grabbed a brolly and my friend Aaron, and this is the result. Hope it makes some of you laugh.

One of the few photos that is undersized that actually looks half-decent in a small size!

The constraint feels very road-sign ish...

This is a very funny shot. It would have fared much better if you had used the full 640 pixels you are allowed to, as it stands it is a little too small.
07/14/2006 05:31:38 PM
Hooray for humor! :) Nice job.
06/19/2005 04:28:14 AM
Thanks for the chuckle on this - priceless!!
LOL

You're going to get voted down because of the small size of the pic, but I don't care, I think it's really inventive and very funny! 9
02/08/2005 03:18:13 PM
Good One! Very clever, should of submitted a bigger photo, none the less, good job!
02/08/2005 11:57:44 AM
This is a nice shot, well composed. The light seems a bit dull and I wish the picture would be bigger.
02/08/2005 11:34:25 AM
good idea, would be better if the picture was a bit larger
02/08/2005 07:32:26 AM
Very humourous
02/08/2005 06:33:08 AM
Great Idea, we all know the joke but you have done this well.
Its a shame that the image is a little on the small side
02/07/2005 05:21:38 PM
why is it so small...very funny though
02/07/2005 01:37:52 PM
Very clever, but very small (which I'm sure you're hearing about in comments). It made me laugh, so you get an extra point!
02/06/2005 03:53:08 PM
this is so funny, wish it was larger. Perfect for this challenge.
02/06/2005 07:21:53 AM
good shot,houmuristic!but i guess you should upload a bigger file(about 500 pixels) i found by own experience that people vote more with bigger images.gave it a 7
02/06/2005 05:53:24 AM
very funny idea!!
02/06/2005 12:48:39 AM
Good concept, shame the shot is so small.
02/05/2005 06:40:45 PM
This looks like a great entry - I love the umbrella interpretation! Unfortunately, the image size is frustratingly small. Hope you add the larger version to your portfolio.
02/05/2005 06:00:37 PM
Very clever, but the picture is too small.
02/05/2005 04:42:49 PM
good Idea and well done, I marked this high for the effort that went into this . keep it up 9
02/05/2005 11:31:55 AM
i dont know if it is but this appears too staged
02/05/2005 10:25:09 AM
You've probably already been told it's too small, but it's a funny idea. I like it, but increase the size next time.
02/05/2005 05:39:17 AM
Very funny. You have a very good imagination.
02/05/2005 04:57:17 AM
Brilliant interpretation, shame the picture is too small, but it's not the size that matters, it's what you can do with it LOL, and you are sure to have made plenty of people laugh with this one. What can I say, 10 out of 10
02/04/2005 01:03:37 PM
Very clever pose, needs to be full size.
02/04/2005 10:21:54 AM
next time make it bigger...but soo original and well done!
02/04/2005 01:10:39 AM
very funny. original. nice to look at
02/04/2005 12:40:18 AM
cute idea, but pic needs to b bigger
02/03/2005 08:35:03 PM
Very clever! Next time upload a little bit bigger pic.
02/03/2005 07:04:51 PM
Very good idea... picture way too small.
02/03/2005 03:32:55 PM
The humor was well-carried out by a great set-up. When I was a child, my friends and I used to to re-transalate picture signs in a similar fashion to what you did (we just never re-inacted or took pictures, which was an awesome idea!). Anyway, your picture made me laugh and remember some great childhood times.
02/03/2005 12:10:10 PM
funny
02/03/2005 09:55:31 AM
hahahaha if it wasn't for the size I would have given it a 10 for its humouris side. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>
02/03/2005 01:52:16 AM
I really, really, like the fun in this image of the sign and the acting out with the umbrella. You will go far in DP Challenge if you can figure out how to make your images fit the DP size. Meanwhile, I'll give you a big pat on the back for a fine sense of humor.
02/02/2005 11:29:08 PM
This is a really nice shot. Too bad it wasnt larger.. I like it though..
02/02/2005 09:01:00 PM
Really cute idea, too bad the photo is so small. You would do much better to use the full 640 pixels that you are allowed.
02/02/2005 08:44:08 PM
This is great, really funny, good use of the sign.
02/02/2005 08:43:05 PM
This would be a great picture.... but it's so darn small!
02/02/2005 08:05:33 PM
This image has a cool concept. However the photo is too small and loses detail. Next time if you could make it larger it would be more effective.

This is a brilliant idea and very well executed. I would suggest however that in future you make your images larger. I fear that you may be penalized by some due the the small size of this image. Good luck with the challenge.

02/02/2005 07:45:14 PM
image is to small, would of looked better if you didnt take it with a camera phone, also the guy in the picture isnt wearing shoes, also would of looked better if the subject was silowhetteded
02/02/2005 04:15:36 PM
Cool. Wish the image were larger.
02/02/2005 04:13:11 PM
I think you get the vote for creative interpretation of a sign. 8
02/02/2005 03:50:01 PM
What a great imagination! Very creative take on the challenge theme. I wish the photo were larger. Cute cute cute!!
02/02/2005 03:10:59 PM
Great interpretation of the sign!
02/02/2005 01:45:14 PM
its a good shot, I like it. If the size was more in line, (large 640x?) would had given at least a 7,
but sorry, had to give it a 5

i love the concept of this photo. i wish it was bigger so i could see the quality better. still, it's very creative.

02/02/2005 12:57:24 PM
Very funny, but image is way too small
02/02/2005 10:28:44 AM
Very funny!
Really have an eye for it!

02/02/2005 10:22:49 AM
Oh sod it - here's a 10 for utter genius!
02/02/2005 09:59:28 AM
ok, I laughed out loud. great title.
02/02/2005 09:21:09 AM
Great idea. You may want to check the picture sizing requirements though. A picture this size will suffer in the challenge. 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 08:58:52 AM
This would'be been great if not for the size of the photo. Other than that, it's a bit too "snapshot". I like the idea very much though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 08:23:27 AM
Funny - I wish the size were bigger to see it better.
02/02/2005 07:21:50 AM
lol well done ! Shame it's too little....
02/02/2005 07:18:24 AM
This would be utterly brilliant if it were larger. You've obviously got talent for composition and creativity so good luck with this one and hopefully people won't beat you up too much over the size of your entry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 06:35:05 AM
Funny picture, a good idea. Too small though.
02/02/2005 05:55:50 AM
LOL like it.......still laughing hahaha now what shall I give you for this tiny photo..oh well, you made my day here's 10
02/02/2005 04:13:52 AM
shame its so small! wicked idea though: 8
02/02/2005 01:02:45 AM
Good job! You are going to lose a lot of point because of picture size though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2005 01:01:17 AM
this would have done so much better had it been the right size!
very good idea 6

02/02/2005 12:23:29 AM
LOL......7.
02/02/2005 12:13:39 AM
This is a great idea. It made me laugh. I only wish it was bigger -- it would have scored better at the allowed 640. 8
