Tee Hee. . .this is so cute! But also very professionally done. The lighting is perfect!!! Somehow I must not have finished voting in this challenge and missed it, but I think this is a really good one!
Once again...here's another I voted on, yet failed to comment.
This one I gave a 9. It's just funny as hell; and a welcome departure from the naked women that ruled this challenge. The story about your mother was an added bonus!
Thanks for all the comments. Nudie boys mom will not be revealing her online name. And it was the tattoos she instantly recognized as bear pointed out. The best part for me was pre challenge I said I hope you got a chuckle or two from this shot and apparently a lot of you did. Makes it all worh it.
I'm still laughing at not only the humor but your total nerve for doing it. Hurray for you. Now let's all put on our clothes and leave out our shoes and photograph THEM!!!
hehe Cute theme. Good lighting, maybe a tad flat. I can't decide if I like the solid black background or not. Looks like something is missing, but can't think of what I would want there that wouldn't be distracting.
Very original shot, made me laugh, which I think is great in a nude challenge. And I didn't laugh because I though it was silly. I think it's cool! Pretty nice ass, too, I have to admit, even though I'm not into guys...
Very clever. Nice overall lighting, although you lose some of the light on his head. Also I see a little fading on the exteme lower side of the basket (like I have a right to nit-pick) Nice shot.
HAH! I know who nudie boy is! nyah nyah. ;) Now.. let's talk blackmail..
Just kidding. In all seriousness, I really like this take on the challenge. Great sense of humor, and a great set of .. shoes. I have a bald spot too. We must unite!
Color has a little too much yellow cast, but other than that I like the lighting and comp and everything. Don't get certain things stuck in the dryer door!
Great commentary shot. Very nicely done. I think that it's possible that the pose looks too stiff. and the choice of shoes, may be distracting, while probably intended to be comical.
I can hardly wait for my T-shirt. I want it to have the image on it as well as the text: "Extreme Laundry Nudie Boy Style"
=o
Here's your 10 for making so many people laugh this week.
(Oh, and the image quality is really good, too!)
Can't vote but had to comment...good lighting and setup, bet your mom is proud. ;) If for nothing other than your doing your laundry...hope you don't have to leave your house to do your laundry lol. Good job
On second looks, actually not bad.
Good seperation between subject & black BG. Lighting is also pretty good.
Is a little static. It could probably be made more interesting by photographing the subject (you?) walking.
great idea! I wish the lighting was more exciting. Lighting is what will truely make photographs great. Work on it cause it seems you have the concept part down.
this gave me a little giggle - i've been there! Would have liked it better if you did it in a laundromat, but i guiess the ledity charges might have been a bit much for a challenge photo.
ROFL This is great. I might desat the yellow a little bit in the skin tones, but I wouldn't change anything else. THis is really a good one. A+ for originality. OH, by the way, this gets a solid 8 from me. And just to let you know, you're no boob either (hee hee).
love the added touch of the shoes. Lighting well done. Comp, crop works. POV and DOF excellent. A bit of humor added in. I have that same laundry basket. :) 8 - good luck in the challenge!
