I thought this was hysterical and extremely creative. I gave it an 8. Good job of "seeing". :) Terribly disappointed that it didn't do better, but I think a lot of people don't look long enough to "get" some of the more creative shots here.

I didnt vote or have time to even look at the entries for this challenge. I have to say...I like this one. Gave me a nice smile and giggle this morning. Very well executed...nice work.

I am very dissappointed,, but not totally suprised at your placement w/ this shot.

Further kudo's on what I think is a real winner.

Well .. really thought this would do better. I still had a lot of fun to do it and still happy I did it.
Yes it's a penis, and it's on purpose.
"Political satire" (to reuse sslickk words) is left to your own interpretation and I am certainly not going to discuss it here !

Penis?

you probably won't find this helpful, but ROFLMAO!!!! Good eye. :) Great use of negative space.

I have a feeling these postcards will not be in all the usual touristy places ... perhaps would have been even better suited to the Negative Space challenge.

Man! I honestly laughed out loud when I saw this picture! Don´t know if if will go very well down with some people here, but I like it! Good sense of humor!
This one would also have fitted quite nicely in the negative space challenge! :)

Very Phallic. Humor aside, I'd argue that there'e too much negative space. Tighter crop might be more effective.

cute :-)

Hmm, am I the only one who thinks this is way too phallic?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/26/2003 07:27:49 PM
lol..i don't want to say what i think this looks like, but something tells me that you already know.

Very clever! This is the first picture I've ever voted on. This is full of meaning and I really got a chuckle! Thank you!

 08/25/2003 10:03:13 PM

PERFECT! I was hoping for something like this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2003 06:17:48 PM
LOL, extra point for the humor.

What are the round things on each side at the bottom?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/25/2003 09:48:22 AM
Yes, it apparently is all in the way you choose to see the monument. LOL. Very nice use of stationary objects to look like something else. I wonder whether you were meaning to do this. Either way, very nice.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,,, This is a shot I've always wanted to see!

Oustanding negative space, political satire and just a darn good shot. My 10 of the challenge!

Hehe, great idea. Nice approach to an otherwise dull sounding challenge. Negative space also good, this one should go high.

LOL
