 I photographed a calm scene of empty docks nearby "spud" I decided against it. Our brains were "fried" trying to think of something else. Then, with my own two "eyes", I noticed Mr. Potato Head's removable ears and tongue. What could be worse than a deaf and mute tuber?

Light is a bit harsh and focus is out, but love the title and idea. Creative = 6.

Despite the promise of your title (!) I don't find much that's compelling; the shot is too out of focus and plain. Good imagination, though!

Good sense of humor. Image looks a little soft though. I like the concept.

I'm having trouble understanding why a picture of a politician giving a speech (even a plastic one) makes me think about silence. He could use a little more focus.

Yep and extra point for the laugh... Is that 2 ears & a tongue?

i understand your concept, but find the photo uninteresting, the lighting is good but would've liked to see the potato up close...there is a little too much area that is not active. Mybe even photographing a hand holding the ear and tounge parts.

hmmm well... fine.. seems a little low quality, i think i find the glare in his cap distracting and the highlights are blown out on his arm and ears.

That line going across the screen is a bit distracting.
