Challenge: PEAS! (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G2
Location: outside on my patio (late morning)
Date: Aug 12, 2006
Aperture: f 4.0
ISO: auto
Shutter: 1/80
Galleries: Humorous
Date Uploaded: Aug 12, 2006

My three-year old would rather play with peas than eat them!

I used frozen peas (thawed), contruction paper, toy car, and set this up on our patio. My son was quite cooperative, for about 5 minutes!

(used macro mode, edited in PS: crop, contrast/brightness, saturation, blur, clone, sharpen)

I think you are right about the "too tight" comment - I think that would have helped - too tight makes it harder to tell that the hand belongs to a small child. I do, however. respectfully disagree with those who recommended getting rid of the hand. I believe the hand is the charm...it's what tells the story of "I'm a kid and I hate peas". I think a black or solid gray road with yellow stripes would have helped to clean up the pic a bit. Overall, I think the voters were a wee bit harsh on this one...pea lovers! Good idea and I look forward to seeing your future entries.

In retrospect, I think that I should have done at LEAST 2 things differently with this idea: Change the title to "Don't Play With Your Food", bc some people may have thought that this was crass. Also, the shot was a bit too tight, as it made my little boy's hand look gargantuan.

It would work better without the hand, clever idea- could've been executed better.

A little too happy with the sharpening tool? Cute concept though.

This would have been much better minus the hand. A solid 5 for effort!

Cute idea, but I think I would have liked it better without the hand.
