The idea for this challenge came to me the MOMENT the challenge was announced. I have always laughed about Ed's shot from the Matrix challenge and in my opinion, Ed's shot is the most amazing shot I've ever seen. It DEFINES what I like about photography.
I acknowledge that my "picture" isn't as sparkly as Ed's but this was done on purpose. I wouldn't want to see or smell the air in a world created by my back end. :) I think this dreary picture sums it up pretty well!
I have high hopes for this (difficult) challenge. I really love this image and I hope it does well.

I sometimes think that many members lack a sense of humor. This is a cool image for those that can let go their serious composure if only for a moment. A good entry and very funny.
That arse looks way too smooth to be real - I'm guessing a "little" post processing was done to that before it was used? This is a hilarious idea... very funny!
Edit: smoothed out arse all done with shallow DOF. Even cleverer! Kudos!
Well, it's the moment you (might have been) waiting for. How did you get on with the paper tearing? Have to do it more than once?
You have made me laugh though. My reservations would be about technical qualities such as the brightness of the base image you've used, and the clarity of that arse. in the end, I jjust have to say thanks, though.
