My first good multi-exposure shot. I think it's very funny.. but then, my sense of humor has always been a little dark. Someone suggested B&W for this picture, and while I don't personally like it much, I respect their judgement, and I'm going to go with it. You know who you are that suggested it.. so if this does well, thanks :)
Post processing: USM, brightness/contrast, some burning on the hooded face, and some dodging on the white-shirt's face. (and some small cloning).

A big thank you to everyone who commented. Commenters on this image gave me an average of 7.556... non commenters a 5.155.
That's probably the largest difference in score between commenters and non-commenters I've ever had.
I don't understand why this did so poorly at all... Totally, absolutely, completely blows my mind. Yah, the figure in the background is a little motion-blurred in areas, but not where it counts. (hard to time the swinging of a camera strap when you have all of 10 seconds to get into the shot and pose it). I just don't get it.
I didn't expect 7s.. or even mid 6s.. but a 5.1?! *shakes head*
I'll never understand what makes the masses happy. I'm too deeply *me*.
This.. is why I fail.
The belensing of an innocent camera! Don't do it until FOX news crews depart...okay? You know how politically incorrect this all is? :::grinning:::
Could we compromise? Perhaps you'd accept a 6 plus a 4? LOL
(By The Way...is that a Christian owned camera or one that goes "CRICK??)
returning for comment:
Very good composition with great expressions. Personally I believe a a hammer or mallet would have had a bigger impact simply because the camera can suffer instant destruction. Yet, your image is strong and way above the mid mark. Good work.
One of the actually funny entries, and this is a really well done double exposure. Great expression with your hooded persona. Now kill that camera and give the rest of us a chance. ;-)
