not even funny

B&W worked against you here - it's so grey it is almost faded into one solid rock. Needed to be in color, and or darker to bring out the individual "pets". PTL3

You have a great sense of humor.

I don't see a story behind this picture. The picture is to bright and not very well focused.

Very creative, and the black and white was a good choice.

It made me laugh. Great imagination. My wife and I had an argument whether this met the challenge. She said no. I said yes. I'm casting the vote.

Oh, the humor kills me :-) A touch washed out in the center. 7 nards656

Over exposed.

Over exposed center rock, and featureless background don't help this at all.
11/26/2002 06:48:00 PM
Haha! Cute. :P

You know, my first reaction was that this needs more contrast, however, My shot is similar to this, as I have NEVER seen a photo look the same after it's transfered into print for a newspaper. They are always grey, right? I'm getting marked down a LOT for my decision to make the shot look like a REAL newspaper shot, and I wont do that to you. :) However, there do seem to be a few bright spots onthe rocks. Otherwise, nice angle and framing/cropping, and focus seems nice as well. Good luck. ~HBunch7187~

Heh...It's mildly amusing but only because of the title. The overly white rock in the front is the eye catching point which overpowers the rest of the rocks.

I've seen these... with the pet rock prison signs and everything... very cute. The picture, however, seems pretty washed out.

cute idea... the conrast in this photo is weak... maybe less light or a different angle would be an improvement :) - setzler

humorous premise, but fuzzy and very overexposed
11/25/2002 06:10:00 PM
I have to vote for this one just because anything that can make me laugh has to be funny...
11/25/2002 04:38:00 PM
LOL
11/25/2002 04:21:00 PM
LOL Fun shot. Maybe a bit over exposed....? Flash? Fun work. Justine
11/25/2002 02:43:00 PM
really great idea... but perhaps a bit overexposed (just my opinion)...what do you think about literal signs of protest too? ....6 bullwinkle

IMO the relationship between the title and picture are key elements in this challenge. this is way too funny. Where is your contrast?

Your title made me chuckle. :)
