Practicing using reflected light. Two flashes fired off an IR trigger aimed up over area of shot into some wrinkled white packing paper from our move.
Used USM, Levels, Sat/Hue, and resizing in Photoshop. Went in and out of neat image twice to clean up noise and sharpen (once on raw image and once on reduced size image.)

This is one of my favorite photographs of the challenge. It made me laugh -- what a precious gift to give someone. I told my friends at school about it. I can offer no suggestions for improvement, I can only hope to rise to this level one day.
This is funny. Made me laugh out loud. I'm sure you are hearing a lot from the "doesn't fit the challenge" folks since it doesn't fit the most widely accepted interpretation. Good luck
Excellant! What a great concept, and executed brilliantly. Good detail, good lighting, awesome composition. I saw it, and did a little double take, then it gave me a good little chuckle. Overall- OUtstanding!
"It's BEHIND you!" We're meant to scream. Actually, if the part hadn't been in the frame at all, a very different meaning could have been drawn. At any rate, this made me laugh.
