The look of gritty determination on his face - and yet he still doesn't realise the ball has gone past him. Priceless.

This was one of my favs of the challenge - what a priceless moment you captured. Hilarious! The title is the bomb.

now THIS is a fantastic entry.....maybe you could have worked the graphic design a bit more, but the concept is great and the expresion of this young man is so priceless it deserves a top score by itself...10 from me

Back to review scores. Although there are a couple of technical flaws, I still think the expression is priceless and I hope it gets a ribbon.

I can relate to that some days!

A well suited photo to match the caption. Would have cropped a little higher at the top but otherwise a job well done.

I love his expression! One of the best laughs on DPC yet, thank you!

Hum, sorry, it's evil to laugh at other people. But lol again.

hahaha...

Haha..lol


ROFL



OK>... I'm still laughing. This is awesome. Photo is a little noisy, and you cut off his head, but I'm giving this a 10 because I am still laughing.

I feel bad for laughing out loud! I like what you did with the Wayne Gretzky quote too. A 9 from me for being original and funny! Good luck.

This reminds me of my son, and I don't just mean the picture. Poor kid!

Love the words and the design. Photo looks grainy/noisy and this lowers your score somewhat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/13/2009 01:42:29 PM
You sir/madam, get an 8. HA.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/13/2009 12:39:16 PM
This is wrong.....LOL!!! I am giving you a great score despite the excessive noise in your picture. Came back to bump it up.....too funny.

Laughed my butt off when I saw this.

With respect to the challenge, I would have preferred some originality with the theme, rather than placing a different photo on a despair.com poster. I'm guessing some will not like the obese stereotype!
