Challenge: Self Portrait In A Crowd (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Pentax K-5
Lens: Pentax SMC DA 35mm f2.4 AL

Scoring much better than I hoped for for a shot taken literally 10 minutes before rollover. I had planned to have the letters printed and in frames suspended from the ceiling, but by the time I got to the studio there was no time for this. I reprinted the letters (they were black on white) because I wanted to emphasize my face was the "O" in CROWD.

Now I knew some would wrongly call this DNMC, but it clear does meet the challenge. The challenge never says a "crowd of people", just "a crowd". Well there is a CROWD in the photo and I'm in it, so there! :)

Shoehorn? Yes. DNMC? Not a chance. :)

Ha!. That's a heck of way to shoe horn any image into a challenge. You get points just for that.

I love how you used your facial expression to make the O too. Very good.

Well shot although I think others might see it as DNMC.

Great sense of humor! It may be my imagination, but you look a bit like a chubbyish Louie C.K.

Hats off to you! That has to be the most creative interpretation yet. 10, to counteract the troll.
