Excellent shot. Loved it in the challenge and meant to comment on it then. It's all been said below now - but well done.

Thanks to all who gave me high votes and I apologize to those who gave 1's and 2's.

Yes, this was definitly a setup shot. It started out as just a water carrier, then when I thought about the title, my love for music led me to the Fifth Dimension song 'Aquarius! Let The Sunshine In'. That meant that the sun had to shine in through the water bottle. That still wasn't enough for me. My sick sense of humor came through and said 'When you have the sun, you have to have the moon'.

Thanks to all who restored my faith in the general sense of humor on this site. I will continue to try to bring a smirk to everyone's face.

P.S. I refuse to reveal who's butt crack that is (but I do own a remote).

LOL, was this a candid shot or a set up?? do tell!

Nice photo - it needs the title/caption to be humorous though, heh. Visually, I'd say leave out the border completely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I actually thought this worked better without the title. Not that I'm knocking any marks off it or anything, but it's such a good "Aquarius" photo that a complicated title seems to detract. I like this a lot.

Very cool how the water bottle catches the light - it looks as though he's carrying the sun itself.
Big shame about the butt crack - I could do without seeing that!

Very funny. I enjoyed the break after seeing so many photos of statues or figurines!

I got a great laugh out of this one, which always garners an extra point when I feel that the theme has been acheived. The technical challenge of producing this shot directly into the sunlight was done well also.

Very funny, great job. But asthetically there isn't much that stands out.

I love the comedy in this one. Thanks for the humour. Great shot too!

lol great title, not sure about the photo however. Does this guy know his arse is up for hundreds of people to laugh at? haha
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/29/2004 06:11:28 AM
I'd suggest more focus, but given the angle of view and what would come into clarity, I'll hold that suggestion. The light through the water bottle on the top is a great effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This made me laugh.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2004 11:46:02 PM
LOL..very funny take on the challenge, only thing I don't care for is the glare off of the water bottle on his shoulder...good luck. 7

Very funny scene; I like the way you caught the sun through the bottle. On the other hand, it might have been interesting to try and make a more unusual statement out of this by cropping and eliminating a lot of the scene details. Not just the crack (which then might seem obscene), but cut his head off, and maybe some of the sides. Anyway, just got my mind wandering...

Very brave showing the plumber's crack.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2004 09:51:08 PM
LOL, the title obviously makes this. The photo itself isn't too bad either, but it's all about the implications here. hehe, good stuff.

01/28/2004 09:35:02 PM
Did the (Culligan?) guy you were shooting this?.... Composition ok, butt a bit of noise (specks) and a few hot areas (on jugs).

When looking at the thumbnail it doesn´t seem very intresting. But when looking better: sharp, very good colors and fits very well to the challenge object.

01/28/2004 10:31:12 AM
If anything this shot made me really laugh. I do however like the way the sun is shinning through the water bottle. Nice clear shot, the colors are great but the shot is kind of nasty. CRACK KILLS! hahahahahaha

Great capture. Good for a laugh.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2004 06:36:13 AM
interesting idea but I think it would be better if the person's back was covered - it takes away quite a lot from the composition. 5

01/28/2004 12:59:16 AM
funny funny..... but perhaps i would like less information in the title.. leave something for me to discover
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2004 12:42:13 AM
This is very funny. The title, of course, lets you get away with the flare. Good luck.
