A superb presentation, much like a rubber band that is ready to snap from being pulled to its limit. Congratulations on your 11th place finish. Very well done.
Interesting idea... humour certainly reads like a Larson cartoon which a lot of entries (excluding those which simply recreate one of his actual cartoons) don't manage.
I like that you use a photographic technique to aid your joke, and that it seems original (if there is a similar cartoon it must have been executed differently). 9
The perspective / distortion here really enhances this shot; not only does it draw attention to the smallness of the book, thus helping the joke, but it also makes the model seem more geeky. Shadows are maybe a little distracting, but overall is not a huge problem. Great job!!
Ha!! Back to comment. This is hilarious and so well done. Where did you get that shirt? I work with a bunch of engineers (I'm a scientist so I feel like the "cool kid" when I'm with them!). That would be the perfect Christmas gift for them! Great set up & execution....had me laughing 'til I had tears. Good luck. 8
nice post processing dude. This is the only submission that is a real photograph and consequently should, and most likely will ribbon. If it doesn't i'll start a thread hehehe.
