Had some fun with this one. I had a hard time getting the cell phones to stay in the right position and didn't quite get the lighting the way I envisioned it! Oh well, hope you enjoy it and that it makes you smile!

Post processing with PSPX includes: clone out fishing line, adjust shadows/midtones/highlights, adjusment layers for brightness/contrast, curves, hsl, resize, apply usm.

Post-challenge: Just got back from vacation to see all the great comments on this one! Thanks to all of you who commented. Glad you enjoyed my sense of humour....now to work on that lighting stuff for next time.

LOL. Most excellent, love that it is nicely OOB. Great lighting, too. I'm not wild about the composition, but still a great effort and appreciate the laugh.

Very cute! The cellphones are a little dark on my monitor; a lighter background or more distance between subjects and background might have helped.
