This is a photo by jonathans and here is the original
I'm not really sure that some would find a re-do of their brown ribbon winner all that flattering. Maybe some people thought they put in their best and it ended up at the bottom of the pile? Maybe they finished last because their artistry was not appreciated for the challenge. How do you re-do something like that? So I chose a photo that looked like it was entered to either make a statement or have some fun.
I don't know Jonathan so I have no clue if he would be offended by this. If you are out there dude, let me know.
Jonathan took his picture in the fridge with the door closed lol. I think that is flippin funny. So my suggestion for improvement is that all he needed to do was show the butter! (D0 you like the yellow butter border?) So this is what I imagine one would see in the finite moment right before the fridge light goes out.
BTW - I want the brown ribbon. Don't think I'll get it but that would be quite an honor for this challenge. Are you offended by the fact that you had to vote on a picture that was designed with the hopes of coming in last? Then step away from the computer, go outside and get a breath of fresh air and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelax. There's more to life than worrying about whether or not you wasted your time voting on this.
Oh and recently there has been talk about people leaving bad comments on photos. I tell you people, go back and look at the comments left on this guy's picture, and other brown ribbon winners around that same time frame, and you will see that the DPC community has come a Loooooooong way in commenting experience. Much improved is what I say.
Oh and since I won't be around for the end of the challenge, wronp I hope your score is higher than mine! (Since you "stole" my idea lol and actually did a better job with it) :P
Enjoy!

Sorry Michelle, Wronp got you because he added the wonderful small image size (he got a 1 from me and you a 3)...Although the horrible inner border was a very nice touch
Console yourself with the fact that if Damien Hirst had produced art like this it would be considered genius
Too funny!! And somehow I missed the original - that was an excellent idea. I like how you've extended that - to make us think that after the door closes, a wee bit of light remains trapped for at least a second or two! And if it weren't for that Fearless Leader of ours, we'd be neighbors again.
Where's the butter? Good title. I really had to work hard to see the subject of this shot. Either black & white wasn't the way to go, or there is something hidden that you don't want us to see...it is really busy in the corners, leading me to think that you are hiding something. This detracts from the butter.
lol, what a great photo to reproduce. I would have liked to see everything left out of the photo except the butter and possibly the plate it's on. your focus also looks like it's on the can and bottle more than the butter. these are all detracting factors. I would be interested to see a reshoot of this with just the butter up close and filling almost the entire frame.
LOL, guess you found the butter in the fridge with the lights turned off. Got to love your humor. I have to assume jonathans took the picture from inside with the door closed :), 8
it is strange: there is a similar entry that also uses a yellow border, while there was no border in the original. don't think that is an enhancement. otherwise good rendition of the theme.
