| I see the second shooter back there below the grassy knoll. Also... you can fasten a couple of those fans together and make a Spambrella. They're very popular in Romania. |

| LOL Good one E. Only after reading your comment did I notice the spam. |

| I will be perfectly honest, I looked at this shot and had no idea that there was spam in it. I really thought it was just a fan. So kudos to you for some amazing cutting of spam! |

| This is a supremely creative (and delightfully twisted) take on the challenge, I really appreciate your efforts. |

| Ouch. I was wondering how you did this, because it looked a little artificial. I thought the dancers were real and the Spam fans may have been the artificial part. This was not Kosher Spam, apparently. |

| Is that the SPAM bodyguard in the background? Or a member of the SPCS (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Spam)? Not sure the fan blades are obviously spam, but they are close enough. |

| This shot appears a tad grainy to me. The guy in the background is a tad distracting too. Good capture of the action though |

| Not sure how this meets the challenge. Not sure what kind of post processing you did, but it made it look as if it was folded several times and photo copied. IMO, not very appealing. |

| Um...Yuck! Why would anyone make a spam fan? Is this a photograph? Looks unnatural. |

| There is something just disgusting about wafting spam smell around with a fan. |
