Yeah, well I lost to ShutterPug.... and I got punkt. My requirements, for my punishment, were to be wearing Yellow underwear and have Lug Nut (my dachshund) between my legs. That idea scared me, because Lug Nut is still a puppy and bites everything! Needless to say, the idea inspired creativity.

The yellow undies are a pair of boxer briefs on my head :-)

A bit more USM.

Submit and pray.

Not a bad finsh at all, I must say. I did kinda expect it to break six though.

Uhh, just reading through your description... What the heck are fingertits? Freudian slip there?

Anyhow, nicely done and congrats for placing so well with such a difficult challenge!

I really like this set up. The lighting is good. The only thing I would have liked to have seen different is the young man's expression. I would have like to see his eyes open. He looks anguished.

Interesting shot, the color cast on this has a slight green cast, I think maybe that may be the material. The dog is adorable, wonderful expression. 7

Why has the model got an inside out tee-shirt half way over his head? Sorry, that comes across as so incongruous, so unrealistic it spoils the whole image for me.

Otherwise this is a fabulous shot. I love the dog's expression; the yellow is good and works superbly with the blue background. If only we were seeing the whole face.

Not sure I understand the title.. unless the dog's name is Punk? Regardless, nice focus, nice lighting though a little harsh in the bottom right corner, background creates a good contrast for the yellow and browns. Seems like there are too many subjects in the image. Either just the dog or just the guy would be stronger, IMO. 5

lol - you got the weiner (dog) between your legs as were our special rules - good for you. I said it had to be artistic and you pulled it off. Now pull those undies off your head.
