Okay, this is my first submittal ever so I thought I'd come in with a bang. I am usually very serious with my shots but when I saw this challenge, I thought I'd step outside of my comfort level.

I used PS to adjust levels, desaturate and sharpen. I added some grain to make it look like a newspaper clipping.

OK, I can see where you might consider the National Enquirer a newspaper. I did laugh out loud.

Great sense of humor - unique! Keep up the clever ideas and keep us laughing. Looks like a little better focus would help.

USM would make this a little sharper, and improved the overall look I think.

Got a big laugh out of this! Only thing is, it might have been better if the guy is positioned inside the bathroom so that his feet and legs are sticking out across the doorway threshold. Thanks for the laugh, very creative!
