 Not as sharp as I'd like and the ice cream cone is too close to the edge but as usual its a last minute submission with no time to re-shoot. Anyway, my son and I had fun doing it (he did get the ice cream after all). And for the record it is Oreo flavored, not Rocky Road.

Good Composition here, nice take on the challenge. not sure about the harsh lighting on his back and arm which gives an overexposed look

Looks more life vanilla

Oh the bane of kids the world over. Bigger kids. (Or maybe Dad who just won't share.) Nice humerous take on the challenge.

This brings a smile to my face. I love how effortless it is for the man :).

VERY FUNNY! I am actually laughing out loud! Only thing I didn't like was the crop. I would have liked to see more.

funny entry, I like the leading line made by the boy with the extended hand.

Nice composition. Colours look a little bleached though.

very effective cropping.

Good idea. I think it's cropped too much. I'd like to see some feet at least pushing towards the cone. It's obviously staged so there is time to get the right framing. On the other hand the monolithic image of the man wedged against the right edge makes him appear more unmovable.

I really like this idea, it just needs to be a bit more in focus.

Funny shot. I like the idea.

Very funny pic...Love the title too good job

needs larger dof or at least have the dad in focus
 09/10/2008 06:35:22 PM
Haha. Funny capture. Seems as though only the back pant leg is in focus though. Colors are a bit flat.

Funny idea - dads are immovable sometimes! Nice pose to show effort - I like the diagonal line of the body across the frame.

a bit fuzzy, maybe cropped too much?

Nice concept for this one. I love the spelling in the title. I only wish the background were blurred out to isolate the models
  Photographer found comment helpful.

If it were based soley on creativity I'd give it a 10...with that said, I'd like the picture a lot better if it was using a bigger more distinguished cone...or a tighter crop.

Poor kid. Did you give it to him in the end for being a good model?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/10/2008 08:17:38 AM

Hehe, like it
 09/10/2008 04:26:30 AM

tell that kid to just kick him in the nads,, that'll move him.. lol
 09/09/2008 11:22:46 PM
I love this! Good concept, lighting, and composition. Being a little soft is gonna cost you points though. I'll give ya a 7 because it made me laugh so much.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cute idea. I can remember as a child having being the kid trying to move and immovable adult. I would have liked to see better technicals here however, such as sharp focus, and more vibrant colors. 5

Good subject, but not as nicely executed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/09/2008 08:10:57 PM
