So I wanted I really nice candid feeling photo on the truck and it didn't really happen. The was the best image as far as composition and posing but I didn't like the theme all that much of me changing the tire. Did it for fun because the group suggested it and I thought it would be cute and then it ended up being the best shot!

From left to right:

Easton, Misty, Noelly, Evan, Cory and then down at the bottom changing the tire is me!

I think this is a great photo. As soon as I saw it I recognized it as being a portion of the Colorado river. This reminds me of those old Sunkist commercials that I grew up watching. Overall an excellent capture.

I like the tongue-in-cheek title! Many motivational/instructional posters sound so sermonizing, this is bound to leave an impression and perhaps drive home the message straight (even with a flat tire! LOL!!! :-)
A second look makes me feel there seems to be more irony than meets the eye - the thinnest girl in the group (team, eh?) seems to be doing the job!

This goes straight into my fav! Can I use it - in a non commercial way?

without a fill light from the right this looks snapish

OK, now, this is good because you made it look natural although we know its posed.. so it has that candid feel, whilst still staying in the realms of portrait, and for that I award you a 8.. well done.

wow, the guys are just watching the girl do all the work... interesting... why is the girl on top wearing a hoodie? It seems a little "weird..." but overall, i really like this picture :)

Great portrait of your mechanic. Does she make island calls? Just kidding. A touch centered IMO but I like it anyway.

I like how you was able to get the contrast and brightness to be just right, even though it looks like you took the shot in extreme sun light.

While I find the concept kind of amusing, I think the photo would have been better if you actually made the tire flat!

Funny but the center girl pink bikini has an akward position which distracts. Can crop on the left as the motion of the picture is from left to right.

Cool! Reminds me of the "college" years. (9)

I know this one will make it into the humorous caption thread after the challenge.

This kinda looks like a Calvin Kline Ad. I love the title!

Creative take on the challenge, nicely lit.

The title gives meaning to this simple shot. funny!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like it. The combination of picture and title is cynical in a funny way. Would have liked a shorter DOF though, and slightly stronger colours. Also, I think a thighter crop on the right end side might have worked better. (6)

Very creative portrait.

I think Im partial because they are crawling around a Jeep... though... if you removed all the other people and just had the girl in the red dress the photo would be fantastic. I know, I know... group portrait and all, but I hope you were able to get that as an outtake. The contrast of her dress, the red jeep, tan sand and blue water is superb.

The staged aspect is a bit, well, staged, but it is an amusing picture just the same.

Someone needs to tell her that tire is fine! Good shot.
