"He's got the glow!" Do you remember that movie? Anyway. This picture reminds me of that '80's movie about Bruce Lee and some kid having the "glow" (I know it would help if I remembered the title). Makes me laugh. Love the idea, nice use of neg. space.

Ok, ladies, take it outside. ;-D

Seriously, thank you colorcarnival for your assessment (which pretty much matched my first reaction), and thank you mstone for expressing your feelings. Some people don't like obvious titles, some people don't like contrived ones, and now I've learned some people don't like it when there isn't a title at all. There have been long debates in the forums on the subject. I prefer the "First, let the photo speak for itself" way.

It's too bad that someone could not tell from the image that you had a glowing duck. I'm sure that if you had titled it "duck" that it would have been much clearer and garnered you some more votes. Think about it, man...

I do like the simplicity of this photo and the duck has a nice glow about it too.


Obviously you missed the whole point of my comment too. lol

wow, now this is the THIRD untitled image in this challenge. What's the deal with that??
Why not take the time to add a title? That tells me that the photo doesnt convey anything to you, so why should it speak to us? It's too bad, because the image was pretty good but a lack of title for me, means a lack of rating.
