 Thought I'd submit something silly just for the heck of it. I know there's blatant shadowing but it's all I could do without proper lighting or off the camera flash (on my own...else I'd have asked Deb to shine a torch at me or something). That's the overhead lighting and two bedside lights turned on and pointed in the general direction - I couldn't find any more illumination to try to give a more balanced covering.

I don't expect anything from this one...if it gets a 5 it'll be about right on my rating scale but I wanted to submit something. Hope it made you smile - merry Xmas :)

The book was a genuine present from my mother in law. I wonder what I did wrong this year?!

I like the concept with the uniform and framed sign in the background to go along with your book!

great expression and humourous photo. not sure i like the distortion (?) in the wall. also the shadow on the model's cheek and nose are a bit messy. /8

They must be located right next door to the Ministry of Silly Walks. The fisheye view is good here. Adds to the absurdity of the scene.

Props for setting up in 48 hours. Just happen to have a red-Chinese military uniform laying about, did we? ;-)

I find the crop a little tight on the right, since that's the "punchline".
