Normally I'd cringe at the use of on-camera flash, but the cartoon-like comedy here overcomes any whinge about the lighting. The lack of symmetry gives a nice twist (literally and figuratively)! Well done.

This is too funny!!!
10/20/2002 01:08:00 PM
Great expression, love the eyes :o) A creative and well composed shot - 8

envy or wrath?
10/19/2002 11:38:00 AM
This is so funny....I love it!
10/18/2002 02:27:00 PM
hah, this is a great one
10/18/2002 12:23:00 PM
first reaction -- definitely laughter. very funny! w/out the title, i would've thought this was wrath, not envy.
challenge -- met
technical -- having your subject stand further away from the wall would avoid the flash shadow. good skintones, nice and sharp.
composition -- good use of negative space. did you consider green facepaint to make it look more like envy?
overall -- 6 from gr8photos

I would have said this is wrath.
10/17/2002 10:20:00 PM
Looks more like anger to me than envy. I hope you were able to get those off your eyes. My Mom said my face would stick like that if I did it too much.
10/17/2002 09:34:00 PM
Decent photography skills but lousy composition skills. Bad attempt at being funny
10/17/2002 08:24:00 PM
Looks more angry than envious..nice photo though.

I laughed for 10 full minutes while my husband tried to make his lips do that. GREAT expression. The eyes add humor. I like it. 7, just-married
10/16/2002 07:15:00 PM
Ha! I like it! He could be a new comic book character.
10/16/2002 05:05:00 PM
if we could see are true feelings this is what might come out.
10/16/2002 02:42:00 PM
I can tell those are not his real eyes
10/15/2002 04:43:00 PM
Very interesting shot :) The shadow right behind his head distracted me a little, but I'm not sure it's wrong. This next nitpick is going to sound strange, but i think it would have helped if he wasn't wearing a shirt. The collar makes him seem too 'human' and less the 'green eyed monster'... Very interesing, unique interpetation of the challenge. ~MyQyl~

Great idea! Looks a bit more like wrath though!
10/15/2002 04:07:00 AM
I sense a lot of wrath also ...great expression.
10/15/2002 03:08:00 AM
i got make me some of these so I can answer the door with them.
10/15/2002 01:47:00 AM
I must admit at first I thought this was the stupidest thing I'd seen in a long time.. but upon looking at it closer, those eyes fit that expression perfectly. I love it. Nice composition as well.. the neg space on the left adds to the pic greatly. 10 for effect and creativity. wingy
10/15/2002 12:09:00 AM
When I first saw the thumbnail, I was going to recommend disqualification for editing the picture. Then I saw the bigger picture and figured it out! ;-) The Green Eyed monster lurks again. 6/10
10/14/2002 10:50:00 PM
Now this is very different! But creative. It looks a bit like wrath, as well.
10/14/2002 10:47:00 PM
the best scary face so far this week.
10/14/2002 10:40:00 PM

a little too funny to be a deadly sin.
10/14/2002 09:31:00 PM
Trip.

Destined to score badly but funny as hell! 5 - floyd
10/14/2002 04:22:00 PM
ROFL!!!
10/14/2002 03:21:00 PM
LOL ! More like wrath to me :-). I don't like so much the harsh shadow caused by the direct flash.
10/14/2002 03:10:00 PM
Funny and original. Technically OK. A suggetion: move your subject away from the wall to get rid of the unpleasant shadown on the left that reminds us of the flash used. Good actor. 7/10 for originality.
10/14/2002 02:24:00 PM
Definitely gets your attention. The only distraction for me is the shadow. Would it have been possible to use a source of backlighting or soemthing to get rid of it? Just a suggestion. karmat
10/14/2002 10:19:00 AM
This gave me a good laugh this morning. Nice display of envy.
10/14/2002 04:45:00 AM
Fun shot. Good luck.
10/14/2002 01:06:00 AM
