The whizzer is my son! This was his idea! He is so funny. I don't care if I get the brown, as long as I get a lot of funny comments for him to read.

HA HA!! LOL-He did read it but he had no clue of what you meant! Thank goodness!
08/20/2005 01:04:42 PM
hahah.. Still, whatever he was spraying with needed to be down lower.. Seriously, if he has a penis that can go up that far, and still bend and spray .. it's time to call the guinness book of records, and I see a future career in film for him :) If you know what I mean.

Umm.. on second thought, you might not want to read this one to him.

I don't know why (maybe because I've been reading up on the Australian fireball events of 1993 to 1997), but my first thought was that this looked like a meteor flying in and bapping a kid... I think it was the fact that the line of water doesn't quite line up to where it ought to and the kid seems to be reeling... It gave me some ideas about shots of someone reeling the opposite way as being struck in the belly...

After having looked closer, it seems to make more sense. I wonder if the brown patches in the grass could have been capitalized on in some way....

Good job. If you really want to go for the brown, be careful, I might give you a run for your money if I ever get enough time and the right circumstances to let my limited imagination submit a shot....

This picture made me laugh so hard. It hits the topic at hand VERY MUCH. the lighting around the face could be burned in a bit, as its a bit over exposed. 8

I'm sure you'll get a lot of comments...it IS original! I guess I'll continue with a straight face and say: Nice composition and execution of the illusion :)
I do wonder how it looks in B&W though. Nice pic!

Nice Photo but you goofed up on the cloning at the bottom of the pant leg.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/10/2005 01:36:27 PM
I like the idea.
For a perfect execution i think the the water jet should be a few inches lower. either that or I am jellous.

First Impression: Hahahaha! Some saturation might help, as well as some more midtown contrast.
Was I fooled? Great Idea. The um, sourcew of the water is a bit heigh up to be completely accurate, but very nice!
