Challenge: De-Motivational Poster (Basic Editing*)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f2.8D
Date: May 12, 2009
Aperture: f16
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/15
Date Uploaded: May 12, 2009

 I am guilty of being completely lacking in originality here. Full credit goes to The Burning Biscuit, where I looked through a bunch of Demotivational posters when this challenge was first suggested. It had me in stitches... especially the UNIQUE and POTENTIAL posters. After that, I couldnt think of any other poster I would want to do. I tried to add twist to it by changing the quote, and the background, but these are only minor changes.

I should make a demotivational picture about ORIGINALITY next :D

Not a technically bad shot, but rating you down because it's an almost exact ripoff of an already existing demotivational poster...

There is another similar shot in the challenge and they're both really well done. In my top 10.

There is a certain amount of irony here -- two shots, same in concept, same in caption for "Unique." :)

I thought for sure this was a direct copy of something from despair.com, but I don't see it there. Still sure this was "inspired" by another work. Good job on the lighting. I have difficulty photographing metal without glare from my lights. A nitpick is that I see some jaggies on the edges fork handles that may have been avoidable.

Nice work , but not so original. This is a classic poster.
