 I blew up the tiny balloons, which almost gave me a hernia, and he rubbed them on his shirt so they'd stick to his hair via static. Greatest photo shoot ever.

Post Challenge - Thanks for all the comments, and especially for the PB!! I'm SO excited!!

This started off with a bang and was in the high 6's for about the first 30 votes. I was beside myself with glee. Then it took a hard nose dive.

Great, unusual portrait, Alicia. I like the look of wonder on his face. Nice use of b&w, too. Have to laugh at your "hernia" comment!

this is so cool alicia .. he looks totally gobsmacked .. probably thought you were going to ask him to do something outlandish .. lol .. its such a great image .. how inventive and imaginative to do all the preparation .. well to think of it first is pretty amazing .. congrats on the posthumous blue .. its hard if you're scoring really well and then take a dive .. that was a big dive tho .. :)x

This was such an outstanding entry... The only enhancement I can think of is posthumous's elucidation of its dimensions.

Oooh Alicia - I gave this a 7 on my first run-thru but never made it back for a second review. This is awesome! Thanks for explaining the balloons - I was wondering what the heck was going on lol. Should have finished higher!

Great portrait! The background and the B&W fits well. I'm not a fan of the baloon at the foreground.
