 Set up was pretty easy, actually....used a glue gun to glue a monkey to the barrel, attached two monkeys by thread, cloned out the thread to create the "missing link" and did some minor editing (decreased brightness to darken the background, some sharpening, a little of natural lighting from the window on the left side of the barrel, cropping, border, resizing and that's it!) Had this idea on my way home from work today...hoping it fares well.

I don't really get why this one didn't score better. It's a very pleasing and well-done composition -- and fits the challenge perfectly. I really like how you did this!

This made me laugh! Great idea and such a fun photograph. Your border adds to the photograph where some often detract. I'm seeing some white in your monkeys. Maybe back off the sharpening just a tad.

good idea but the processing is very aggressive and distracting

as sick as i am of chains, this is cute and different, nice job, quality seems a bit off like its pixilated or something though
