Couch Potato
by Trinch

Comment:
VERY funny. Very clever. Photographically, I would like to have seen some more contrast or lighting on the couch itself, and a noncentered composition (Personally, I think the potatoe speaks for itself without being the center of the composition) but the idea is fantastic.

Don't make waves

Nice scenic. A tough crop because you can't easily avoid the almost center split here without losing the tree or adding too much sky. A good literalism for this phrase to me might have been a no splashing sign at a pool (perhaps off season, depending on where you live), a closed theme park wave pool, a bottle of hair straightener, ...

Not sure what I'm looking at, and it thus makes it hard to judge how this is a literalism.

Flying south for the winter

Comment:
Interesting sunset, but doesn't really strike me as a literalistic interpretation. Maybe pointing south.

are you lookin' at me?

An interesting shot, but I am not sure this is a literalism, as much as it is an anthropomorphic interpretation of a phrase.

Good literalism, and reminds me of Rowan and Martin's laugh in!
