Oh my god.. there's actually a comment on here that say "the plug must go"Jesus...give me a break. At least it's something different. It's not some boring piece of uhumm... that got 1-3 place. The best photos didn't get a ribbon because people didn't like different things. By the way, good going for doing something different :-) Almost got off track there!!!

hehe typical commnets...

shame not too many people have an open mind / imagination.

melancholy sadness - the facial expression illustrates an emotion of despair and grief.
the hair spray paint represents the 'blue' mood in which he is dwelling... a sort of mist.

all in all, i had fun with this photo and I don't realy mind if it came out in the bottom 10 !! hehe (because so did many of my favourite photos)

How does the title fit with getting his hair painted? Would like to know more of what is happening here. The photo doesn't tell the story.

I'm too old, I don't get it. What's going on here? (hair coloring?) Is the spray causing the sadness? (making it better?) Subject's face overshadowed, the reflected light on the tiles above his head give him a sort of halo. Tiles behind subject much brighter than in front, very distracting. What is that outlet on the wall? Electrical? Where in the world......

That's not sadness - it's sorrow at "why am I having this done to my hair - blue??"

That big white space in the top left as well as that plastic thing on the wall are distracting. Probably not much you could do about the plastic thing but that big white space could be alleviated in a number of ways. e.g. 1. Crop it out e.g 2. Zoom in and recompose shot so camera view is more to the right.

Hehe, nice humour, kinda subversive of all the more highbrow photos in this challenge :). Pathos in a can!

Interesting photo but the topic/subject doesn't really grab me...

Subject is somewhat flat due to darkness. The wall plug must go.

What are they doing here? This is sure a different shot but I like it. Nice job.
05/27/2002 02:05:00 PM
I'd be sad if someone painted my hair blue too = P

My cat makes that same face when she smells toothpaste! I love it!

..lice ? how is that title in any way related to the content of the photograph? also, that fixture on the wall shouldnt be in the shot.
