OK. So, I went out to this place to take your everyday friendly 3000 BC caveman photograph when the misquitoes decided to crash the shoot. So I left after taking just a few shots. This is the best of maybe 8 pictures I took that day. The wig is from my Pirates of the Caribbean costum I used two years ago for Halloween. The club is a dead tree that was at my condo I bought 8 months ago, and the outfit is simply black felt my wife had laying around the house. It's just wraped around me and open in the rear like a hospital gown. I really wanted to shoot closer to the mountains, but the botanical garden I wanted to shoot in was closed. So hurried to this park before the sun went down.

PP: Crop, Curves, Selective Color, Hue/Saturation, Image Size, Border.

The elements that are negative from a compisition stand-point really make the photo for me, good job.

I have to disagree regarding the centering of the subject. I think it happens to work here just fine. To me it looks like he's fighting the elements and if he's off center you lose that cluster phobic feeling.

7 for the effort. Your time frame for cave men is way off though.

Fits the challenge perfectly and it made me laugh. Not a big fan of the tinting tho, but still.... creative!, interesting!, and a break from all the other "before time" landscapes and such. The most unique entry I've seen so far. 9

cool. I would leave his face in the centre of the pic.

Great idea. To me he looks very caveman-esque. That being the case the title should have been a little earier (something like 15,000 BC). Other than that I like the hue, it ads to the uniqueness of your photo. Well done.

8 - Met the Challenge (I think a photo of this put into a 'time capsule' would give future generations a good depiction of this era/year - though it requires a tiny 'stretch' for me in the imagination for this Challenge). This is very well done. And you kept just the year in without any 'explanation' - good for you, it doesn't need it (though personally I'd like to see 30,000 BC or whatever is more 'authentic', perhaps what you have is right, who knows). Criticism; not much, I like the color treatment/effect, you've done very well with the 'props', the coloring/darkness washes out the costume so that it is not discernible enough to see the authenticity. The 'action' is perfect, and amusing. Perhaps without the frame - not sure, just to give a 'largeness'. The 'feel' you have created with the set up and the pp is very good in my opinion. You get the most points from me for creativity.

Glad I wasn't living in those times! Nicely set up and yes, I believe this pose and the coloration is effective..

awesome. very clever. Kudos to you on this one
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great idea and well executed. However I think that the orange color is a bit too over powering in this picture... would have preferred a little less saturation.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Actually, this is kind of funny!! I don't believe that they had cameras back then, but I can imagine that this is what we'd see if they did. Perhaps you could have included what this feller was attacking.

Wow. Pretty cool. This looks like it was really fun to prep for and to shoot. I love the club, and the costume in general. Hey, I see a nipple ! :-P It looks like a lot of thought and planning and vision went into the shot. The processing here is very suitable for this image. This is just really cool. Brought a nice smile to my face. I like it. Nice job. Thank-you.

I like the shot very much. I wonder if he's fighting off the saber tooth tiger or trying to get a date? :-)

The subject and presentation is very interesting, but I don't see how the warm orange tone works with it. 7

Ancient Egyptian culture spans back to 5000 B.C. This should probably be dated much further back than 3000 B.C.
