Had a blast with this... this is actually my wife dressed in full "Jack" gear. We toyed with making the head, but then one of our son's friends told us he had made one years ago! We spent quite a bit of time updating it (new hat, new eyes, new nose)... but it saved us a TON of time (thanks Brian)!

Several attempts to get the right perspective.


I realize that being an international site, not a lot of people will even KNOW about Jack, but that's the chance I'm taking.

Hope it does okay!

Great shot for the challenge, only gripe is the nose blending into the suspenders. Maybe boost the colors a bit. One of the better shots yet

Come on now! Tell me you didn't go out and make a Jack in the Box head just for this shot! Nice job on this one. I really like it but unfortunately I don't think it will ribbon. I just hope you didn't spend forever or big $$ on the Jack head. Good job.

I think the lighting could be improved a bit and I'd like to see more of Jack's face (i.e. his mouth), but otherwise the shot is well composed and the concept is great!

Nice likeness of Jack, other than the sunken eyes, great looking burger, and picture worthy of an ad. 8

LOL!!! Lighting is great, I like the angle you shot this from. I don't get the guy though. Who is he? But I will not mark it down just because I don't understand. It is a great shot.

This is friggin hilarious. I think this is a nice shot but do feel that it could have benifited if his hat was not cropped out. Good job.

Lucky you to have a Jack head around for this shot. I like it very much. 10
Good luck!

The black nose aligning with the black suspender is very distracting. Interesting pose and viewpoint.

looks tasty.
the nose also looks like it is running down his shirt!
but it's his braces/suspenders really.
probably suspenders as I don't think they have Jack in the box in england.
I really like Jack in the box though.
Unfortunately there aren't any around South Carolina.
But we quite often visit St. Louis where they are in abundance.
anyway, enough about me.
lets talk about you.
I'm giving you a six.

This one is pretty good, so I'm going to get into the nits:

Oddly, my eye travels down in the image (maybe because of the tie and suspender lines) instead of to the burger. Also, I think a solid bkg might have improved the punch.

Still, very appealing fast food shot! 7

is this the clown from IT? That guy had some simliar brilliant ideas to convince others. :) may be a tigher crop could highlight the burger a bit better?

O.K. this is so cool. nice one!!

Boy, that is a big head! I am distracted from the burger but this is an interesting take on the challenge.

very funny. I like the smart dressing vs the "informal" fast food

perhaps this is an american thing, I've no idea why a snowman would have a burger. Nice tie BTW

Very creative, thats just crazy, 7.

closer on the burger and bluring the background (DOF) would help.. otherwise very fun shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lol - very cute. The one thing I notice though - the suspender on the left seems to be attached to his nose (even though I know its not). Given the photos I've seen, this should do well. Good luck.
