This photo is HILARIOUS! The title makes it more so. Maybe it could have been cropped a little closer and more of the guy doing the elbow-drop in view.

i'd get it better if i could see the other figures face.

Need to see more of the flying man.

I love this idea, and was laughing out loud. However, next time: take down the poster, get rid of the sodas in front, and crop the shot so the endtables are not in the shot.

I laughed my ass off when I saw this one, I would love to see this same scene about 2 seconds later

A haphazard shot with no planning, otherwise a snap shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Watch out below!!! More of the body overhead would have been nice...

Like the content but not the quality of it
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I would have prefered to see the full body in flight competely stopped.

composition leaves something to be desired. but stop action alright.

Amusing image, fun concept. If flying boy were in the image a bit more, it would have been a little better.

"Liberated" highway signs and flash are a bitch of a combination, aren't they? Kind of like the catch on your man in the air, but the junk at the sides and bottm has gotta go. Might as well lose the poster while you're at it. The flash shadow only shows around Opie's head.

funny. good originality, however this photo is way to busy. get rid of the red eye, and I would have cropped the reflector sign out
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 09:59:00 PM
Too many distractions in the composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 07:45:00 PM
and now, for the REST of the story...............? What happened 1/10th of a second after you took the picture? How was it done?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 07:25:00 PM
fore!!
 04/17/2002 07:25:00 PM
looks photoshop

I'd love to see the 'after' picture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 12:55:00 PM
Weird, to say the least. Good effort.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 12:54:00 PM
kinda typical. dark picture, too. not a lot of color, nor interesting setting/composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 12:15:00 PM
is he high as a kite or just floating?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 11:59:00 AM
Ouch...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 11:41:00 AM
Interesting picture. Would like to see more of the guy who is jumping.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/17/2002 06:19:00 AM
Ouch, if this picture wasn't staged, I imagine you only got one chance. :-) Good idea. If you could have taken the pic just a fraction later so we could have seen the smacker's face, and if you had cropped it on the right to get ride of the glowing road sign, it would've been better, for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/16/2002 07:55:00 PM
Wow~ That's a W W F elbow attack!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/16/2002 03:56:00 PM
One of my favourite Dali pictures in the background ;) It would have been cool to see more of the flying guy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/16/2002 11:55:00 AM
How is this possible? Not sure about the dark outline around the right arm! Wish it could be more convincing! I would have to find out a little more to give a good score.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/16/2002 11:07:00 AM
Where are the ring girls? Great shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/16/2002 11:02:00 AM
poor kid! this is a very cool shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/16/2002 10:27:00 AM
I would have liked it better if you had cropped out the right hand side. The road sign looks like it doesn't even belong in the picture.

Big points for creativity -- and sympathy points for that poor sucker.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This reminds me of the kind of things my son does. I wish I could see a photo of the next instance. Great interpretation and imagination.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/15/2002 01:59:00 PM
Don't much care for the subjects, but your camera did an awesome job of stopping the motion. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/15/2002 01:38:00 PM
Excellent picture. Just be sure to tell us about it later. Because it looks imposible without someone getting seriously hurt.

Somebody is about to mess somebody's game all up.

 04/15/2002 10:28:00 AM
Funny. I wouldn't want to be the dude on the couch!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/15/2002 09:13:00 AM
Would've liked to see the 'after' shot too = ) Good subject, the lighting and colors are kind of bland
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/15/2002 08:50:00 AM
This is to funny! I think you did a great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/15/2002 07:38:00 AM
hehe

 04/15/2002 07:30:00 AM
Hmmmm... I have very little doubt that the flying frat boy is in motion. I can see that the space has been cleared on the couch for a safe landing ;) I need to see MORE of mr. flying frat boy in the frame... maybe closer to landing time, or right over mr. gameboy's head. BTW- is that a contriban california highway sign on the wall behind you? :O For shame ;)

 04/15/2002 07:26:00 AM
Do ya smell what the Rock's playing??? original and funny ... pizza and Playstation night! Would have been nice to see more of the guy in flight (pan camera left, or move your mate on the PS to the right of the couch)

That's got to hurt

It really looks like he's suspended up there!

The picture seems a bit washed out, but it could just be my crappy monitor.
