I have been intrigued by the lack of attachment people have to the things they own and/or consume - this is sort of a statement about that. I loved that it seemed so boring and yet for me had a hint of something meaningful that maybe some viewers would find (and it looks like they did!!!)
On a side-note, I'm not sure if i misunderstood this challenge. Some people found my pic OOBeriffic!!! My first - thanks!

Congratulations on the well deserved OOBIE. It doesn't really seem so out of the box to me, it's a beautiful work of art that to my mind fits the challenge very well. I gave it a 9. Wonderful composition, beautiful tone, and I love the textures and light.
I'm probably the only one, [i]buut[/i I don't get the title.Yes it's kinda Africany but I don't see no elephant or gazelle...sorry a high six pic. though
not sure I really understand the concept of this image. I am trying to make out topless here, but only your framing makes the image topless. The wall is in nice focus and lighting though, just is not strong enough for me.
Either you uploaded the wrong picture or you've got a much better imagination than I do. I took pictures of elephants and gazelles last Thursday and they didn't look anything like this. I don't see anything topless other than cropped lamp and twigs arrangement. It has good lighting and focus, but not much else of interest to me.
Creative vision and actually not that bad of a technique, however I feel with elephants being endangered as they are now....its just too soon to laugh.
