I KNOW the outtake would have scored better, but it's just not what I wanted.Message edited by author 2008-01-16 00:12:10.

You may be right, but I think your entry is a better portrait. The thought invoked as well as the technicals make it far better IMO.
We voters are fickle, but you know that.

Not too sure which one would have done better. But my wife picked one and my daughter picked the other.
Wife always trumps kid.

Maybe I'm just a big kid, but I'm kinda siding with your daughter. I think it's a simpler composition that just works.Message edited by author 2008-01-16 00:57:24.

I think you made the right choice, your entry is simplified, yet includes enough b/g to let us know you were going for nerd. The telescope IMO is a distraction.
The only thing I don't care for in your entry is that the hand is starting to blend in with the white book directly behind it.

I don't think any of these would have done much better, but I was after a chuckle, not a high score on this one. Disappointed to not get a brown. I suppose there was too much effort in my entry to get a brown.

Thanks. I kinda agree to be honest.
However:
- Sleeps with wife years into the future.
Kid will move out one day (hopefully).
If I'm slightly on the fence: Wife trumps kid...

I gave your entry a 10, I don't think I would have scored your outtake that high.
