Absolutely a Great Shot. I'm sure it took a lot of thinking and a lot of hard work to come through with it. Congratulations! |

Just wanted to say thanks for all the good comments. And I can understand why some thought... and maby still think it was done in photoshop. |

I agree with the previous posters.
Shame on people voting low on this becasue they THINK it was doctored with no proof what so ever.
Although this was not my favorite shot it was high on my list..congrats on the photo |

I must agree with the previous 4 comments. I think if you hadn't sharpened the image so much and created the jagged lines on the toaster, it might not've looked so doctored.
Eitherway, I still hold this photograph up there with the best of em. |

Nice work! The clear sky (rather rare in this part of the world) is simple enough to draw full attention to the toaster. Technically flawless. |

I never thought the picture was a fake but I can't get over the guys expression. Before seeing your other shots I felt certain it was someone off camera throwing the toaster behind him. I think it's a good picture but the shadows are a little distracting. |

Okay, I admit, my husband and I have been studying this picture all week. I was convinced that it was fake, without any justification, and for that I sincerely apologize. You are either extremely skilled, or extremely lucky. I'm assuming the former. Great shot. 10 |

Any photoshop montage in that picture? If not, how did you do that? |
|

Wow, it probably took a lot of shots to get it that perfect. Is the toaster still working? :) |

Thank you for clarifying this in the forums! It is a cool picture. Almost too sharp and clear (in a good way). |

Really cool. The lighting and placement on the toast and toaster is just perfect. I don't like the side lighting on your friend, though, and can't help but wonder how this would look from a lower angle. I think it would draw the viewer into the odd scene more to be a little under the toaster, and it would get the line of the mountains out from behind your head. Still... very cool. |

whilst I wouldn't normally agree about people publicly revealing info re their pics before the voting is over I think your post is required. Apologies for doubting, but the pic looks too good to be true :) Well done. Dark shadow on the face is a shame |

Can't decide whether or not this is a digital collage. I think having the toast and the toaster up in the air with nothing but blue sky would have been sufficient without the person sitting on the ground. |
|
|
04/17/2002 04:20:00 PM |
Was the toast thrown/dropped separately, or did the toaster eject it while in midair? Perfect composition. |

almost looks photoshopped. amazing that you could get both the toaster and toast to face perfectly towards the camera and be so sharp and be in the DOF. whimsical idea. |

Ummmmmm -- OK *grin* Is that a toaster, or a radio? The vertical placement of the mountains in the background bother me. I either wish they were higher above the head, or closer to where the nearer "horizon line" (base of the mtns.) seems to be. |

this picture is awesome! i love how he is just sitting there so calmly as he is about to get knocked out by the toaster! you get a 10! |

This picture rules. It's a shame I know people think it's fake -- the fact that it isn't gives you my best rating of the competition. And you definitely get the creativity award. |

Like this shot more each time I view it. If the toaster and toast were more visible I would have moved this up in top 5 or even 3. |

Not only do you have a spectacular, impeccably framed landscape, you have a great portrait, AND flying toast. As a former programmer for the After Dark screen savers, flying toast is going to get my vote every time. :) Gold star for you! |

Would love to see this a few seconds later to see how it all 'goes down'. Origiinal concept, well executed. The light on the guy's face isn't very well considered - needs some fill flash to balance his left hand side. |
