 I know, it's cheesy and it sucks :-P
What can I say, I'm a sucker for a speed challenge. I got this idea early this morning. Tried shooting it, totally wasn't working at all, ended up getting thouroughly disgusted, threw a little tirade, broke a flashlight, etc. and gave up. Went out to run some errands, ended up hooking up with Toocool to help him out with a car problem, and we ended up hanging out, doing some shootin' and stuff, so when I got home, I felt better and tried again. This is the result, like it or not, !!! Yeah, it's corny, but I thought it kind of cute, and hey, it's a speed challenge, right? Right!

Maybe I'll at least make it in top 100? hehehe

Anyways, in ps- cropped, auto levels, cloned out a few minor flaws, a slight hue/sat adj, levels, usm, light gaussian blur, resized

So, thanks for checking out my pic, hope at least a few folks find it at least a wee bit amusing.
:-)

Oh, and I almost forgot, it's a NUDE !!!oh boy :-)

Neat idea. Very original. Defintely has a genie / bottle feel. Only concern is the light in the paper bag-- it seems a bit too defined as a flashlight. Perhaps moving it further back in the bag would make it less obvious?

clever idea - your shadow looks like a genie - maybe would be a little better with using just a big colorful bottle and calling it "Your Wish Is My Command" or something like that - wish I had thought of that - but your image is what made me think of that - good job and certainly meets the challenge :)

Great title. Helps us focus on the bag in the corner.

I would like to have seen nothing in the sac- making it a bit more interesting

This would have been very cool if the bag was at a different angle or a bottle alone was used..very creative though

looks like a genie kind of concept -- too bad you didn't have an old-fashioned lamp. :) Great idea.
