| I don't think this deserved last place, but I don't think anyone who attempted this challenge deserved last place, either. I didn't have a clue and didn't vote, but I did get a kick out of all the entries, this one included. In the spirit of the challenge and extra points for taking the risk on the post processing. |

Hey Tim,
You asked so I'll tell... what I was going for with the processing was a cartoon look, since FarSide is a cartoon. I went to the zoo specifically to shoot this and the tree for the Lone Tree challenge. 2 birds and all that. I had two ideas for this challenge (the other being what I posted for an outtake, which was my first idea, this was the fall back). Larson used a lot of animals, and a lot of the times they were getting the best of the humans. That's what I was going for here. I wanted it to appear that the frog swallowed the child in retaliation for messing with it's children (the eggs behind it). I didn't want to copy an exact cartoon (of which I have a whole book of his). I'm finding I never do well with original ideas here though.
edit to add: the frog actually had a big hole in the back for the kids to climb into, I just filled it in with Photoshop.

| Well - you got hit hard on this one. I had a feeling this was yours when you were posting your score in the threads. I give you credit for attempting some pretty intense postprocessing, although I guess I wasnt really sure what you were shooting for. I too didnt get the tie in to Larson, but then I didnt get all of his work either. I think your editing just sent this over the top into way abstract land and it couldnt find its way back. I would be interested in hearing your vision and concept though. That might bring a bit of clarity into the work. |

| Not really a fan of the processing here. Assuming you were making it cartoonish? Wondering how oyu got the kid inside the frog. :) 6 - good luck in the challenge! |
