Located near the Tacoma Zoo, I had to snap this during a trip to the see the animals! I think everything about this photo; the composition, the subject matter, the coloring says TACKY! But then again, that IS the challenge.

Is it glow in the dark duct tape at least? Good capture.

At least they are trying.

I hate the word X-Mas... Definately fits the challenge here!

At least got the message across to the neighbors and persons driving by. And, I know how hard it is to cut out an "R" using duct tape.

kind of a boring picture, but it made me laugh and fits the challenge very well. I like that the home owner was spirited enough to duct tape up a holiday message, but couldn't be bothered enough to make it any more festive.

I recently saw a car that was totally duct taped...they even made a spoiler on the back out of duct tape...I wonder if they live in that house!... Nahh, they probably would't of had enough tape left over to make that sign

lol, the cheap-skates.

I got a good kick out of this picture. I think a good roll of duct tape makes everything better.

Technical: HAHAHAHA!! Fits the challenge allright!! Exposure composition focus lighting all good.

My vote: 10

This got a laugh from me - Great title - I hope it's not your garage ;) A bit tighter on the letters would be better.
12/31/2003 08:18:09 AM
lol perfectly wonderful!!! I hope they had a good holiday. 8 from me.

Funny, but it would be a more interesting shot if you got closer to the garage. All the otehr stuff is just distracting clutter.
