 I'm pretty happy with this one (it has been a while). It is one of those where it comes out much like I envisioned it. Of course, as usual, the more I look at it, the more it looks odd to me. My biggest concern is that the voters won't get the transition from a full toothpaste tube to an empty one.

Alternate title: "Oh no! They used up Tom!"

One oddity of this image is that it is lit with light painting. Two flashlights, an LED for the spot and a normal halogen through a red filter for the background. Tried a number of different colors but liked red the best. Kind of wished I hadn't hit the lids of the standing tubes as hard, but in a way, it fits. I was going for that heavenly spotlite look.

This is the part where I guess how it will do. I expect something like a 6.3. It is better than most, but I am concerned some will want a DNMC on it.

I love the humor, the setup, the lighting, comp--great drama. I'm guessing it would have scored a little higher with more of a zinger title. Not that I have one for you or anything! ;-)
