 Love or hate?
Anger or desperation?
It's your call..but whatever it is, hair is the star in this shot!!.

After challenge:

Thanks for all those kind comments, and special thanks to my brother Andy who gave me this idea.

This was going to be a combination of 4 photos shot in a sunday afternoon:

1) guy in the balcony with fists in correct position, shot from the side.
2) girl on balcony under same light conditions, shot from the side, with photographer (me) up on 4 feet tall pile of chairs. Of course, girl was IN the balcony and someone else was pulling her hair.
3) same frame composition of photo 1, with group of 3 pedestrians staring at the balcony while we (my models and me) were shouting as insanes to attract their attention.
4) same as photo 3 with one additional pedestrian (girl with yellow t-shirt)

Then, at the last minute (3 hours before submission deadline) I decided to have 2 additonal pedestrians looking up, so I had to make an additional night shot of my two models: the girl wearing the green t-shirt pointing up and the guy by her looking up. They are the same couple in the hair-pulling scene :-)

Rest was PS processing with plenty of layers and usual stuff.

In this instance...hair pulling is ok! Funny compilation!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/22/2007 11:01:02 PM
Is the green shirt person pointing? If so, that is brilliant and probably missed by most voters! Even the yellow shirt is stopped in the cross walk staring at the scene!

 04/20/2007 02:51:02 PM
OMG LMAO, This does look so realistic, Even the people on the street are looking at you. Did you add them in or were you really holding something to make them look at you?

I hope you win, this is not only creative it's editing at it's best.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/20/2007 01:21:22 AM
This is a very good job on the editing side of things. I love the moment that you have captured/created here. Great job at presenting something that can't really be presented. My only suggestion (to make your work better) is that the scene does look slightly fake, mostly because of the model's expressions. Great job overall though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/20/2007 01:10:55 AM
Probably the winner of this challenge, wonderful idea, well executed because you attracted the attention on the street, unless you ask them to stand there, anyway good idea. I would like to know how you set up it. Congratulations

 04/19/2007 12:16:22 AM
You caught my attention. I hope this was superb editing and not superb stunting! You got the shadows right & people on street looking up is a nice touch. - 10

AAAAHHHEEEEEEEE! My title. Nice concept. Were this in anything except expert editing I'd be a bit worried!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/18/2007 12:40:07 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/18/2007 12:18:26 PM
Holy moly, some great PP going on there!!! Love the expressions. You have obviously used the expert editing to the max but fantastically you ensured that it was not a case a style over content

Great job

Was that taken at Virginia Tech University?

ROFLMAO! 9 for originality!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/18/2007 10:15:41 AM
Funny idea but she looks too "cut and pasted" to me. I am no good with layers so I can't offer any advice in that area.
