I agree with all the critiques on this one and certainly didn't expect it to score so high.
I found this little guy in the yard on Sunday and saved him until evening to try some shots. By the time I was ready, he was acting pretty tired and just fell over when I tried putting him on the toothbrush. I only took a handfull of shots before deciding I should just put him back into the jar. Didn't have a chance to fix the lighting or try for better focus.
I left the jar on the porch so that he would have a chance to crawl out when he felt better. Two days later I went back and discovered why he had acted so sick. On the bottom of the jar was a chrysalis.
So now I have him hanging on a stick in my room. In a few more days we will hopefully have a butterfly!

Humorous - I would have liked to see a sharper overall image.

Clever. Did you use the toothbrush afterwards? :-) Nice shot.
09/27/2003 09:54:09 PM
And I thought MY toothpaste tasted bad... NICE shot!
09/27/2003 04:17:29 PM
Yuk! ;-) Great idea, but's going to give me nightmares!
09/27/2003 11:28:25 AM
Clever idea, if a little gross!
09/27/2003 09:59:59 AM
I think a little more exposure and this would be in the ribbons. Good creative shot. I really like the concept. Its just a smidge dark. Nice work 9
09/26/2003 09:38:22 AM
Haaahahahahaaa, that's great!! :D :D Shot is very well done also. This one will do well because it's funny AND very well done.
09/26/2003 05:38:32 AM
interesting photo...nice and clear closeup shot
09/25/2003 07:36:37 PM
An unusual shot, but very effective. I like the way you took an everyday object to give a sense of scale, and grab our attention. Not just another insect macro!
Great lighting, good composition, nice level of detail.
Perhaps you could have straightened the horizontal line of the toothbrush? 10

Nice timely monarch catepillar, may not taste as well as it looks. Interesting interpretation. Good shot.
09/24/2003 04:33:54 PM
Creative and colorful.
09/24/2003 09:48:33 AM
Very clever and nice color contrast
09/24/2003 06:55:00 AM
Interesting, but a different bruch and/or background would have had a significant impact on this photo.
09/23/2003 05:05:55 PM
certainly the Most Humourous entry.....not spot on focus but really nicely done and a super idea. Maybe a bit more even lighting???....8
09/23/2003 02:30:34 PM
Haha, very funny idea. Colors (specifically the yellow) could stand out a bit more.
09/22/2003 09:10:55 PM
Very cute! Good detail. 9
09/22/2003 09:00:43 PM
points for originality, nice work.
09/22/2003 05:25:43 PM
Hah...I like this...it's got that 'ceci n'est pas une pipe' thing going on.
09/22/2003 05:18:00 PM
nice..disgusting but nice
09/22/2003 03:53:06 PM
interesting and unique subject....I hope you didn't use the toothbrush after :-)
09/22/2003 03:27:29 PM
Beautiful lighting makes the piece interesting. The shadows and the reflections of the light give great details in the bristles in the toothbrush. The insect has some beautiful colors that draw your eyes to it.
09/22/2003 01:41:34 PM
fun, very imaginative composition. What would it look like with a darker background? A little more light?
09/22/2003 12:07:22 PM
How fresh and inventive...creative idea and it works sooooooo well. Good job, good light/colors. Great idea.
09/22/2003 08:06:31 AM
Good humor, good color, good background, great idea! Presented quite well.
09/22/2003 07:24:06 AM
good imagination - well put together. The slightly off white/ orangy background doesn't add a whole lot though. A bit more light from the front could have helped too.
09/21/2003 10:51:03 PM
Very clever! Perfect focus and tones. 10.
09/21/2003 09:27:55 PM
This is very creative but wicked! I'll never be able to brush my teeth again without seeing this.. (shiver) Wonderful picture. Clarity is right on. colors are great.
09/21/2003 09:07:07 PM
Awesome! 10
