Challenge: Candy II (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Location: Niagara Falls, ON. My dining room table.
Date: Sep 8, 2007
Aperture: f/2.7
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/2
Galleries: Humorous, Still Life
Date Uploaded: Sep 8, 2007

 Stuck for an idea, can you tell? My wife was looking at me like I'd slipped a screw.

Cloned out some crap on my posterboard, some lens flare, and a hot pixel, too. Did a pretty crappy job at it. Sharpened, re-sized, sharpened again. Levels, curves and saturation. Neat Image, border, save for DPC. A 4.9 waiting to happen.

post-

OK, a 5.9. I'm glad enough folks saw humour in it, even if it's not a technically great image. I never tweaked that the little woody would be perceived as a child...I'm sorry if anyone was offended. I'm just glad I got more 8's than 3's.

Oooooo I REALLY dont like 'Woody' pictures so this must be a brilliant one to have made me laugh out loud the way it did

Funny but wrong (but funny will always win out 7)

hehe, nice work!
On my monitor, I can see some spots just around the end of the "whip". No points off for that just an observation :)

Although initially first impression is that its quite funny I can see some complaining about an underlying child abuse theme, should maybe wrap some black leather around a female woody and strap her to a rack next time LOL, good job anyway :)

Very unexpected! Thanks I IMO a touch shorter whip and it would be amazing. Also the dents in the blue background are a bit distracting.

the size of the small woody makes it look like a child. lighting is good, but the shot itself doesn't appeal to me.

Big guy beating up on that little guy, man, what's the world coming to! You need some blood though to make it more realistic.

this is great but the slight bulges in the background take away from the overall shot. Still great idea and overall nice job. 7
