very funny! not great on the technicals as some parts are a little out of focus but you get a 10 for great humor (using the word peeler is great) and to help make up for some of the bad votes you are most likely getting for not having anyone nude.
Normally I would put this way down, but it is so well done I have to give it some bonus points. Lighting could probably have been improved by adding some colours like in stage lighting.
Laugh! Awesome. Now that's something that's not seen in this section. At least someone got creative and looked outside the box and thought about it further what nude can mean too. A potato peeling and showing its naked skin, with a bit of fun added. Rock on! I would have the peels on the ground a tad larger too, different sizes of peels that is.
nice carving, but I'm not such a fan of the setup. the colors aren't pleasing and the peel and dark stuff across the "chest" are not so nice either... I like the play on words and the creativity, but I'm guessing you're getting hammered
