HAHA. I really like this, and plus, I think most everyone can relate. You'll go somewhere, like an oriental restaurant/buffet, and you'll be walking along the buffet (browsing it), then you see the squid/octopus/mysterious-critter-that-doesn't-belong-on-this-planet tentacles... you know what I mean.

Thanks, nice of you to say. Yep, coat hanger, but it was a huge pain. I bent the hangar into a rough position thinking that it would be easy to make adjustments to it as I went. Nope. The octopus had a memory of where it was and kept twirling around the hangar back to that position. Unfortunately, that position was with suckers away from camera. I envisioned something different than I got but with only an hour to shoot, edit, and enter before the deadline I had to go with this. |

Thanks, made the kitchen reek for a few days after the shot. I don't know which is sillier, the photo or my SO and I running around after sticking our octopus stinking hands in each other's faces forcing each other to smell its nasty stank. |

| It made me chuckle, now that's what I call fresh! Good composition, lighting and focus. Certainly a one-off, should do well. |

| I love this - your b&w toning is excellent and your use of selective desat is perfect. Good luck in the challenge! 10 |

| This is hysterical! I love the concept and it's logical for the octopus to be the only colored thing in the picture since it's the only living thing. Awesome job :-) |

oooooh my! lol. Well I'm sure this one is bound to attract some attention. I feel this image would benefit from some very mundane food in there to add a bit more humor (like a coca cola in a glass or a side of fries or a little platter with some lemon and basil or something)... or perhaps even a stuffy-looking person about to eat like there is nothing in the world wrong with their dinner, just something to balance out the absurd with the mundane. I would be interested in seein this in a top-down perspective also, to make it seem more like from the "diner's" perspective as opposed to a catalog type image.
Overal technically well done image, selective desat was used well. Nice job! |

| Lol! Very funny image. I like the use of colour here. Makes that octopus seem way more creepy than if the whole image had been b&w. Nice work. |
