thanks for all the comments!

As evidenced by some of the comments, I don't think everybody "got" what i was trying to do here. Anyway, it was a fun submission for me.

I had intended the orangey color cast as Im used to CRs having lighted by incandescent bulbs. I did shoot a white-balanced version, but it did not feel natural to me. Oh well, might have colored it too orangey...and in challenges, you have to please people, not yourself.

Again thanks!

I love the simplicity of this image and the "tongue - in - cheek" twist on the theme.

It took me a few moments to get this - I was able to identify what kind of "wind" you were describing ( ;-D ), but it took me a moment to notice the toilet paper gently lifting up from the "breeze". Very clever and funny!!! ;-D ;-D

hahahahhaha...funny...really

A nice idea but rather poorly executed, the white balance is off and the toilet paper dispenser just looks a little tilted...

LMAO! I gave you an extra point just for the concept :D

Bravo, the only broken wind shot.

Don't be so hard on yourself.
12/16/2004 10:16:32 PM
Made me smile =). Yellow seems off-color.

White balance seems to be off (yellow). Interesting subject and title.

It looks like the white balance was a little off.

Good job. I couldn't think of a good way to interpret the challenge this way.

Eeew! LOL

humor challenge was a couple of weeks ago...
12/15/2004 12:16:00 PM
thats a pretty strong "A Different Kind of Wind" :D points on the humor. it would've been better if you used a 1ply better effect i think

I get it - the 'wind' is blowing the paper. Origianl and creative, but kind of yucky.

HA!
12/15/2004 08:15:24 AM
Very funny... But wrong challenge.
12/15/2004 05:13:37 AM
hilarious!!!
12/15/2004 04:31:12 AM
cute! curious as to the color choice, is it intentional or just the result of indoor lighting without flash? perhaps b&w would have been better suited?

Kudos for creativity. Simple, conveys the point. Overall the photo is rather flat. The textured wall does not add enough interest to captivate the audience. Technically the image has adequate sharpness, focus, and exposure.

good humor value - especially the fact that the toilet paper is slightly blowing (which may be missed by some people). a good white balance may have helped here, i'm not sure i like the incandescent tone.
