 Thanks to whomever it is/was who had this quote in their forum signature. ;-)

Made a hammock from a washcloth hung from the rabbit-ears antenna (!) on my TV.

Yes, the funky layout and use of a slacker robot is deliberate, literally iron-ic symbolism, as is the "floating on Cloud Nine" post-processing.

RGB and Blue Curves based on selections, added blur to the BG, added type.

I'm not sure why I went into all that stuff about improving the shot when it would have only defeated the whole procrastination part had it looked great.

Love the humor but the shot seems kind of washed.

What is this, a toy robot resting on a towel hammock? Maybe a person on a real hammock would be better.

This subject just isn't going to do well in the challenge but to help improve it make the lighing more dramatic by making it darker and more moody. I would shoot this in a dark room with a spotlight from above giving the toy and hammock shape.
