Plants rely on solar energy. So does my converted laptop.

Seriously though. One leaf, some wire, a CPU cooler, and some electrical tape in an attempt to make my laptop appear solar powered.

One flash on 1/16th with a blue gel just out of frame, but pointed into the laptop, on right. Overhead flash into reflective umbrella on 1/2.

In teresting with good lines which lead the eye.

Nice idea, but doesnt exactly scream paranormal for me.

Not what I think of when I hear "paranormal", but creative.

Intersting and well shot but not really paranormal. The heatsink seems out of place also.

Remarks: a humorous and imaginative setup. The lighting could, IMO, be more discriminating and instead understate the floor (?) surface, proliferating the subject(s).

this is a good thought, very creative.

Technically a very good photo. Sharp, nice vibrant colors. But I'm not sure why this is paranormal.

Not enough paranormal for me. The objects are all very everyday. The composition is great and when they have a Green Day challenge I'll give you an 8 or 9.

Heehee. Original idea. I think it works well.
