I think you deserved the blue ribbon for this one. It perfectly matches the challenge, is well composed and fun to look at.

ROFL, the most amusing one yet. :)

If we gave a ribbon for humor, you'd win it for sure. There is some stiff competition. (I can't believe I said that.) Over all, nice job.

A very cute and funny picture, it doesn't make me wonder that much what is off screen though.

Surprised ? :)))))

well done, "funny" photos dont usually go down well with me, but this one made me laugh.. A plain white background would of been better.. Great idea..

This is the only 10 i felt to compelled to give this week. Sheer comedy value is obvious, but the fact that I feel it's one of the (very) few compositions that falls within the remit of the challenge, and shot exceedingly well, means that for me, it's the very easy winner, and must be ribbon-worthy. nice one, and well done :)

Maybe a 600mm zoom lens might have been appropriate here.
03/14/2004 11:01:30 PM
Great! Meets the challenge...best I can tell?

03/14/2004 05:27:28 PM
definitely the funniest photo in the challenge...and let me say I am glad that I cannot see what is lurking off screen...great composition...good use of b/w...and that look on his face is fantastic
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2004 04:24:49 PM
Very funny
03/14/2004 12:31:51 PM
OMG! This is SO incredibly funny! This has got to win - at least place.

Love the facial expression, it totally makes the shot! One thing that this photo has that the others usually lack, is that you can understand what the photo is about WITHOUT seeing the title. LOL Too darn funny! Awesome job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2004 10:18:17 AM
You have a good sense of humor! : )
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2004 12:52:35 AM
Hahahahahaha...I can't stop laughing from this shot. Very creative and your subjects look is hilarious!!! Good that you took it in front of the shower curtain...Very well done. 10

Haha, this is a very funny shot and very well done. It's got a somewhat "naughty" topic but it's done with class. I like it!

Haha, funny! Nice lighting, contrast and composition. Contrast could be sharper, but I like it as is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2004 03:59:11 PM
very funny!! Maximum exposure or did you flash?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2004 09:29:52 PM
Funny shot! Nice detail and fits the challenge one of the best so far 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2004 09:09:05 PM
Funny, but I find that I'm not at all interested in what's off screen, although the subject sure seems to be enjoying whatever it is.

Seriously, it's a good photo and a great idea, and it meets the challenge criteria much better than most of the other entries. It's pretty humorous too. I'm not sure that I like the B&W though, and the skin tones in the torso and arms seem a bit noisy. Anyway, it's one of my top picks. Good job!

03/11/2004 05:55:09 PM
Priceless.

03/11/2004 05:28:10 PM

03/11/2004 12:14:31 PM
ROFLMAO!!! Great effort. Exposure is good, detail (no pun intended) is there.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2004 08:45:21 PM
I can't help but give you a 10 laughing! Very creative, B&W works really well. I definitely don't want to see whats out of the frame!

Good luck...

Good shot - made me laugh. Thank you for choosing the "off" screen challenge to enter this in (as opposed to an "on" screen challenge which would be a different picture all together. This is REALLY funny. I wouldn't mind seeing the whites whitened up a bit, but overall I love it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2004 03:39:30 PM
My #2 pick. LOL

Hehe I love the expression on his face.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2004 01:23:37 PM
Cute, funny. Lighting is a bit off but its challenging with the white shower curtain behind the subject. Good expression! Meets the challenge, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2004 10:51:08 AM
ROFL! This is the best laugh I have had on this site in a long time! Love the expression. Excellent choice of B&W treatment. A 10 from me!

Funny, good idea, good facial expression to go with it.

LOL! remember that an erection that last 4 hours, although rare, it is advised that you see a doctor.
03/10/2004 04:47:39 AM
Not really a very attractive photo but it made me smile!

LOL! Subject seems a bit young for viagra.. but.. who knows.. and older fellow would have been more striking to me. Thanks! 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/10/2004 12:31:56 AM
This is sick. I won't vote based on the subject matter, though I find it tasteless. I do think that the background is blown out enough to blend in with your subject a little too much on the left side.
