 I photographed a calm scene of empty docks nearby "spud" I decided against it. Our brains were "fried" trying to think of something else. Then, with my own two "eyes", I noticed Mr. Potato Head's removable ears and tongue. What could be worse than a deaf and mute tuber?

Light is a bit harsh and focus is out, but love the title and idea. Creative = 6.

Quirky and fun... I love it!

Despite the promise of your title (!) I don't find much that's compelling; the shot is too out of focus and plain. Good imagination, though!
 03/06/2004 08:15:42 PM
Good sense of humor. Image looks a little soft though. I like the concept.

avoid the seam in the leather, reflection on hat

excellent idea

I'm having trouble understanding why a picture of a politician giving a speech (even a plastic one) makes me think about silence. He could use a little more focus.

Creative, but it looks a but fuzzy or out of focus. 5

You get a couple points for humor.

Huh? And this fits the silence challenge because...? 1
 03/04/2004 02:45:09 PM
excellent, definatly one of the more on topic, my fave so far.
 03/04/2004 10:01:18 AM
Way off topic
 03/04/2004 09:06:14 AM
Yep and extra point for the laugh... Is that 2 ears & a tongue?
 03/04/2004 08:04:29 AM
i understand your concept, but find the photo uninteresting, the lighting is good but would've liked to see the potato up close...there is a little too much area that is not active. Mybe even photographing a hand holding the ear and tounge parts.
 03/04/2004 06:42:57 AM
To me it don´t meet the challenge. What is the three plastic pieces on the ground?
 03/03/2004 12:23:26 PM
3 ears?
 03/03/2004 11:38:22 AM
Not in focus.
 03/02/2004 08:50:55 PM
silence?
 03/02/2004 08:21:44 PM
hmmm well... fine.. seems a little low quality, i think i find the glare in his cap distracting and the highlights are blown out on his arm and ears.
 03/02/2004 07:29:45 PM
That line going across the screen is a bit distracting.
