 Yes, I'm using myself as a model AGAIN. It has worked out well in the past though, so I thought I'd give it another go. :) As soon as this challenge was announced, I had ideas streaming through my head. I kept coming back to this one though, so decided to shoot it (no pun intended). Besides, I've always wanted to make myself a foil hat. :D

I shot this one by myself using the timer setting, my ultra-wide-angle lens, and random objects to prop up the camera to the angle I wanted. I'd take a couple shots, run over and check the framing, then reposition myself and try again.

Post: Thanks for the kind comments everyone! It's greatly appreciated. :) Oh, and thanks to posthumous for the Posthumous Yellow Ribbon!

I love the hat to make the fear truly irrational.

LOL! Oh my WORD... that's hilarious! The beanie cap is perfect.

Could use a bit more contrast and saturation since the title is overwhelming the image, in my opinion. Not voting yet.

Not to be picky or anything but bullets are more useful when placed inside the gun. :) I like the added touch of the tinfoil on the head.

The aluminum foil is a nice touch -- made me laugh. Well done.

Had to take a few views to decide whether this demotivated. I think it does, if you are paranoid, but the low angle of the shoot, the look in the subject's eye and the layout of the poster make this a high scorer for me.

I've had more fun scoring this challenge than any other in the past two years, I've only got a few left and this is a tie for the best laugh (with "you suck"). Absolutely love it, well done, the aluminum foil beanie takes the cake!

On it's own the photo doesn't do much, but in this context, love it!

how is that everyone knows to put tin foil on your head to prevent them from reading your mind?? Great message and angle, but coloring is a little washed out
