 Scanned the magazine page, inverted in CS2 and print. Tape the photo to the magazine. Then pose my wife sitting on the couch. Getting a good positive from the negative and lining up the image was harder than I thought!

so creative & defintiely something I would NEVER even begin to think about, let aloone then figure out how to make it work...
the title and the irony are delish too, although I bet your wife is fetching on her own

Very nice, a creative take on this type of photo where a person holds a magazine in front of their face. I love all the blues.

It does not look like the head goes with the body because not one could positione his head this way while sitting that way. Otherwise the color works well and the blue skin tone gives quite an ambiance.

Excellent title and good composition. Like the texture in the "fur," and the colors of the books/magazines work well.
