I don't generally try to do humourous shots. I suggested this idea to my fiancee as sort of "wouldn't it be funny if.." with no intent of doing it. She of course said "Do it! It would be funny!"
I really hope other people get this because I don't want to think that I took a picture of myself with my fly down for no good reason.

p.s.: When I was doing the processing on this, it took me about 5 minutes to realize that my fly was um...still down.

Post challenge:
The title I wanted to go with was just "XYZ". Why did I try to be clever? Grrr

obviously an expression i am unfamiliar with... "flying low" comes to mind but not XYZ (also "three word title"...?) nice shot anyway and i suppose it fits if i assume it is a way of saying close your zip... :)
For me, I wish you had just gone with the "XYZ" for your title to keep more in line with the challenge description. I like the tonal values and lighting. This is one of those photos that people think about taking, but that you actually did.
Nice idea. Nice post-processing. But a quick re-read of the challenge description is/was needed, as you probably have been told by a number of comments.
