 This picture describes it how I felt the day I submitted it to this challenge. I have both gotten a free membership from Bear Music and I've installed photoshop on my computer. I love photoshop. You can do so fantastic things with it. With this photo I was just trying everything in photoshop exept some ugly things I not allowed to do in photographic contests. That's why it's so weird.

I think the photo is technically good. You mentioned you just purchased photoshop. You should check out Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS2 for Digital Photographers, It will really help improve your skills. That way you can really get a good feel for controlled edits and when to use certain techniques. It is one of my favs. Great Expression fits the title well.

This shot cracks me up. I like the expression and I think the messy hair works very well. The sharp and colorful eyes, plus the catchlights command my attention.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/22/2006 12:38:48 PM
Ha!! I love it! Hilarious and well done too. Good lighting and excellent focus. The coloring adds something extra too. Hey - do you have a brown streak in your eye? I ask only because I do...blue eyes brown streak through the right one.

My vote for funniest photo of the challenge, and that alone would garner a high, high score.

That is, if I voted.
Damn, but this is funny.

This has to be one of the funniest expressions in the challenge.Brown background doesn't do much for me and the lighting is pretty harsh but still, it's just makes me laugh. 9.
