 I got heaps of comments during the challenge...and many thought that my entry was set up. Well yes and no. This is our bedroom and yes, he did pose for the shot...but only during the actual renovations. Here is the entry -



and here is another shot taken 4.5 hours later.



By late afternoon there were no walls or ceiling. We were hoping to have it finished by now but with a few delays...well. But we have put in new insulation, power points, four downlights, new ceiling and walls. We have yet to put up the cornicing, window frames,paint, italian tiles and the lights. Then we just have to build the built in wardrobe and under window drawers. Our furniture is waiting to be delivered.

For the record...we DID NOT paint the ghastly pink...nor did we paint the rest of the house yellow. The previous owners did that....and were proud of it....ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

The only thing that was consistent in that room, we found, was the type of acid the builders were tripping on at the time of building. Honestly those men had no idea what they were doing...for example...this house was built on the wrong block of land...I am not kidding!! And it gets worse...but that's a different story. LOL!!

I LOVE THE PINK!

Ha! This resonates for me. When I was 8, we moved into a house and my bedroom had pink carpeting; it took a while to replace. And just last week, we painted our 6-year-old daughter's room a similarly shocking shade of pink. Her choice, of course. :)

Shit. I never did leave a comment on this. So sorry!! I blame all that pink in the shot blinded me. :P Although it didn't stop me from leaving a good score!

I can't believe I never commented on this.

Hilarious. I love the perspective and VIVID colors. Fun and comical. 8

Oh my eyes!..My eyes!! Who would ever do that to their walls??? His expression is exactly how I would feel.

I think the execution could have been improved... it doesn't look like the model is actually swinging... a little more "stress" in positioning and muscles and a little motion blurr to the crowbar would have helped. A better device could have been a sledge hammer :)

Looks like someone has already lost, either that or you go all out on challenges. Nice perspective.

I love it! I wish it wasn't faked though. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get a good picture. This is very funny picture. Great angles and use of colors

The distortion make the photograph
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/16/2007 07:06:32 PM
I think this barrel distortion was perfect for this shot. Expression on the face is spot on.

Aside from him actually bashing in one of the wall, i dont think you could do much to make this any better. The perspective is wonderful, the space and subject are splendid. The pink walls! love the wide angle, love it.

Nice fish eye look. The saturation is a bit too high though.

Second viewing, bumping up to an 8, nice original idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/15/2007 02:25:31 PM
cute. I like the fisheye look.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/15/2007 01:40:38 PM
Love the idea and the angle you used. Not fond of the processing, it seems a bit noisy/contrasty
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the use of the fisheye view. Gives you the sense that he is a little warped in the mind! I mean, who doesn't LOVE pink walls!

Concept: Excellent. Execution: Very Good. Nice use of FishEye for effect.
Oversharpened leaving halos and jaggies. Appears too oversaturated.

Loved the colour, composition and even the 'phony' expression. Good photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow...I'm a female and even I wouldn't be able to handle that color! Nice use of color, but the skin on the man looks a bit red to me. 9
