Aaaaauuuuughgghhh! This guy is going to traumatize some poor baby with that costume. Please make him stop.

good idea, a few things like sharpening the image and adjusting some of the color would add to the image quality and technique.

homoolympus said 557 days ago:

Thanks. I was lying on the floor (looking up of course) shooting this. I had to, because I was using an dSLR without live preview. And I was shaking with discomfort. I have therefore sharpened it to reduce the blur, and the color was actually pretty close to what I saw. But I agree. I could have got a better image to start. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. This is the only shot I have.

The more-than-perfect relevance makes up for the image quality (which would make me think it's a photo taken with a cellphone).

Can't wait to rate this. I especially like the coiled cord coming out of the top of the person's head. If this were my daddy, I'd be laughing my head off. I suppose the camera shake is part of the design? Who took this photo? I think the person lying on the floor did, and it may have been a kid, too.

Lot's of fun.

homoolympus said 557 days ago:

I took the photo. And I am not a kid. I am 30-ish grown man, laughing while taking this. Hence the unfortunate but appropriate shake.

King said 557 days ago:

No! No! I think the camera shake is *totally* appropriate. Look, for example, at this featured shot by Mark Kitaoka (pursang):
