 My wife is a big Pez collector, so I found some warm colors in the Smiley Face set. When I saw the grumpy face, I got the idea to mimic the voting process at DPC. Hope the joke is well received.

The background is actually a Pez beach towel, although it just adds some color. I would have preferred the background to be less in focus, but it was a quick photo shoot, before my sons had me for the rest of the day. Grumpy Pez also needs to turned slightly. The lighting is from a nice sunny morning.

How ironic =/

Funny concept that would have benefited from some good lighting. The bright spots of glare on the dispensers aren't helping and neither is that distracting background.

Not a fantastic shot, though not bad either, but wonderful creativity with the title.

This shot is clearly enhanced by the title... I had to go back and compare to see what you'd chosen for each. I'm not sure about the background choice, and wish the lighting wasn't quite as harsh on the little smiley heads. Overall though, definitely meets the challenge, and it gave me a chuckle! :)
