| Having moved to Germany, I do get it. And I think irisheyes has a crush on you. :-) (Just kidding!) Weird thing, though - we get the same Ikea ads here, but they're in German. You'd think they'd all be in Swedish... |

Interesting. I actually wondered if anyone would pick up on the alternate meanings of the word 'bad' in other languages when I first saw this challenge.
I like the idea, but feel you needed to add something to give it the feeling of being your own, versus a photo of an Ikea ad. Still, there is something captivating about it. I didn't vote but probably would have given you a 6, as it is refreshingly different. |

There is an obscure Norwegian homomorph 'mad' which denotes fry, as in very small fish. In Danish 'mad' would be 'food', I think.
outtake:
Brushing your teeth is good. Being a little girl and brushing your teeth is even gooder. Being a cute little girl, a blonde-haired cute little girl and so on just gets gooder and gooder, until a blonde-haired, cute, white-robed little girl in a white-tiled bathroom, backlit by rays of morning sunshine and brushing her teeth, is in danger of inviting trade union representatives for heavenly hordes to complain about transgression of demarcation agreements. I thought it contrasted neatly with the Norwegian homomorph.
German too, huh? All in the linguistic family.
No added text allowed in basic editing, so it had to be xerox-like. Like the Warhol idea, though I don't aspire anywhere near it. This is largely a sort of reaction to the given theme as much as it is an interpretation of it. I'm completely happy with it.
Thanks for all the comments. |

Raish, I like the message here. Yes it works for the challenge. However, I think this is the other extreme. This image is more about the challenge than photography. It's just a picture of an Ad, as such it is the same as a Xerox.
Unless you did do some "post" or "setup" here. I just don't see it, there aren't any details so I am just left with my initial opinion.
Now if this is a work in photography, then it is truly a work of art, reminiscent of Warhol. Put little tid bits that look like pop art, but still make it a photo.
Thing is I gave you a "5" for the concept alone. It would be interesting to see if you could stage this in real life with an added border, then you would have gotten a 10 from me. |

| Hey Raish, once again I'm having a hard time with this. I guess I just don't get it. I would love to see the explanation of it. |

Shame as I like the image. |
