How many shots did this take to get this final picture?
Post actions
Absolutely a Great Shot. I'm sure it took a lot of thinking and a lot of hard work to come through with it. Congratulations!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the good comments. And I can understand why some thought... and maby still think it was done in photoshop.
Post actions
I agree with the previous posters.
Post actions
This thing is 4 real. One clever guy said that it was clearly done in photoshop.......Yea right.........smartass
Post actions
I must agree with the previous 4 comments. I think if you hadn't sharpened the image so much and created the jagged lines on the toaster, it might not've looked so doctored.
Post actions
This placement is just too bad--It was my favorite picture! and still is! ;)
Post actions
It's such a shame about the undeserved low votes. Don't let it get you down though. I think your imagination and talent are awesome.
Post actions
You still win in my book, no matter what it says here. I'm not going to do the math myself, but without those eleven 1 votes...
Post actions
Congratulations on the good finish... I still like this photo!

Nice shot ... how many times did it take you to get this one???

did someone REALLY flip these over the subjects head?
Post actions
Did it hit you on the head? Nice job!
Post actions
i thought AfterDark had done flying toasters and toast to death already. Where are the little wings?
Post actions
Nice work! The clear sky (rather rare in this part of the world) is simple enough to draw full attention to the toaster. Technically flawless.

My apologies to the cook. I stand corrected.

am i really supposed to belive you took this?

Very good!! Congratulations

Hey, cool photo and great idea! Great originality!
Post actions
The toast isn't the only thing in the air! Great!!
Post actions
That's different. Very cool. Great natural lighting.
Post actions
Very creative! Thanks for clearing up the 'fake' issue, it is so well done I'm sure having to prove it was real was flattering! Great photo!!
Post actions
must've damaged your toaster pretty badly. creative.
Post actions
I never thought the picture was a fake but I can't get over the guys expression. Before seeing your other shots I felt certain it was someone off camera throwing the toaster behind him. I think it's a good picture but the shadows are a little distracting.
Post actions
Fantastic timing and a great backdrop with the mountains and blue sky behind you.
Post actions
Okay, I admit, my husband and I have been studying this picture all week. I was convinced that it was fake, without any justification, and for that I sincerely apologize. You are either extremely skilled, or extremely lucky. I'm assuming the former. Great shot. 10

Any photoshop montage in that picture? If not, how did you do that?
Post actions
Wow, it probably took a lot of shots to get it that perfect. Is the toaster still working? :)
Post actions
Thank you for clarifying this in the forums! It is a cool picture. Almost too sharp and clear (in a good way).
Post actions
Post actions
Really cool. The lighting and placement on the toast and toaster is just perfect. I don't like the side lighting on your friend, though, and can't help but wonder how this would look from a lower angle. I think it would draw the viewer into the odd scene more to be a little under the toaster, and it would get the line of the mountains out from behind your head. Still... very cool.
Post actions
whilst I wouldn't normally agree about people publicly revealing info re their pics before the voting is over I think your post is required. Apologies for doubting, but the pic looks too good to be true :) Well done. Dark shadow on the face is a shame

Can't decide whether or not this is a digital collage. I think having the toast and the toaster up in the air with nothing but blue sky would have been sufficient without the person sitting on the ground.
Post actions
Was the toast thrown/dropped separately, or did the toaster eject it while in midair? Perfect composition.
Post actions
almost looks photoshopped. amazing that you could get both the toaster and toast to face perfectly towards the camera and be so sharp and be in the DOF. whimsical idea.
Post actions
kinda looks faked, but I will take it that it's not. Nice shot!
Post actions
wonderful :) I haven't a clue as to how you managed this, but i love it.
Post actions
Interesting, almost looks too good to not be photoshopped.
Post actions
Ummmmmm -- OK *grin* Is that a toaster, or a radio? The vertical placement of the mountains in the background bother me. I either wish they were higher above the head, or closer to where the nearer "horizon line" (base of the mtns.) seems to be.
Post actions
this picture is awesome! i love how he is just sitting there so calmly as he is about to get knocked out by the toaster! you get a 10!
Post actions
don't see many dents in the toaster - must have got lucky with first take! really good original shot.

This picture rules. It's a shame I know people think it's fake -- the fact that it isn't gives you my best rating of the competition. And you definitely get the creativity award.
Post actions
Like this shot more each time I view it. If the toaster and toast were more visible I would have moved this up in top 5 or even 3.
Post actions
Not only do you have a spectacular, impeccably framed landscape, you have a great portrait, AND flying toast. As a former programmer for the After Dark screen savers, flying toast is going to get my vote every time. :)

Very interesting picture.

Great shot, sorry we ever doubted you. The blank expression on your face is perfect.

Post actions
Very interesting composition! I like the scene. It looks like some remote site which makes the introduction of an electrical appliance into the scene very interesting.
Post actions
Very original and well executed. I just love it.
Post actions
don't know how you pulled that off
Post actions
Im very curious how you did this.. nice image.
Post actions
Ouch! Great photo and very interesting. You captured the essence of the challenge well.
Post actions
I don't get it, but hey, I like it.
Post actions
I love this shot. Very fun image!
Post actions
I think i need some help interpreting this photo. Us simpel minded country boys don't know nuthin bout art... but it would make a good pink floyd album cover...
Post actions
that toaster was totally put there digitally
Post actions
Is this picture for real? If so, it is an awsome shot.
Post actions
um...is that a real toaster? it looks fake. If it is real, this is pretty good picture. Nice DOF ('cept for the toaster and toast)
Post actions
perfect! simple idea - great image

got milk? how'd you do this? very nice
Post actions
What the HELL! Funny as shit. TEN
Post actions
Ha! good one. Everything is in focus.
Post actions
Amazing. Great idea, wonderful colors, and just the right choice of background. I think this is the most original idea here, and perfect execution.
Post actions
Great. Very original, excellent stop motion, sharp focus, etc. Love the title too!
Post actions
this must have been very hard to time, or edited
Post actions
Would love to see this a few seconds later to see how it all 'goes down'. Origiinal concept, well executed. The light on the guy's face isn't very well considered - needs some fill flash to balance his left hand side.
Post actions
Post actions
clever picture. I just hope that guy moved out of the way in time.
