Well, I had planned on doing this during the day but was gone all day. When I realized the time, I literally ran outside and took this shot. It took me all freaking day just to find an umbrella with a pokey end like Felix's. LOL... So, no, a lot of time wasn't put into it, but that was the intention. I was also going to show Oscar's feet in the photo, and a more elaborate set up, but that didn't work either. Oh well, seems it really wouldn't have mattered much. Many didn't get the concept for not knowing the show. Anyway, thanks for the comments!
I really wish this had done better...I guess it does sort of 'date' a person though. I thought this was excellent - well composed, a perfect replica, and I hear the theme music in my head every time I view it and Felix saying your title. Very well done!
Umbrella and a cigar? ok I think I get it, couple of odds.
:-) ok, so it wasn't a couple of odds but what were the odds that I would figure that out. Bumping a bit up.
LOL - what a great photo and so well done... I sure hope ppl get it so your score will reflect your creative take on this shallenge.... How like Oscar to cast his cigar on the ground.... for felix to pick up ..... LOL just great.... now, the other wonderful thing about this photo is not just the creativity behind it..
it's having the talent to render it flawlessly - excellent
The flash and shadows are harsh, the background really bothers me. However, the concept is super - nice change from seeing couples as such, even though this totally relies on knowing Oscar and Felix.
I now know what this is about, and I see the odd couple connection. The composition is nice with the diagonal line of the umbrella, but I think it would be better if the background was more in focus.
