My neighborhood is neither photogenic nor safe. I envy you folks who life where handsome windows and doors abound. Around here, its homely widows and whores.

Am I the *only* person who thinks this is funny?

No, you're not.

Of course, one could argue it doesn't really fit the theme...

No, I like the colors too ;-))

philippe,
The theme is doors and windows. Both of my images submitted so far have had each, so at least I am following the damned RULES!

however, there is nothing I can contribute that will get featured in this theme, so I am having fun, instead.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

...and a whole pint of my blood wasted. Why do I even bother?

Would you seriously say the focus is on windows and doors here? Because I see a (probably) dead person on the steps.

That said, I don't really care about relevance, because I've seen images with a low relevance featured and images with a high relevance not featured. It's just a matter of how people will appreciate the picture . I like this one for its aesthetics and the funny way it tells a dramatic story. F... relevance.

King, that's the spirit. FUN FUN FUN. Don't really care about the being featured, as long as you have fun and follow the rules :)

The theme should have been "Window and Doors and Dead man" then you would have won *for sure* ;-)))
Well, I hope so ;-))))

JIMJIM..."Windows and Doors and Dean Man"...why didn't I think of that?

winetou,
I had to notice the person lying down in front of the door because I am that person. I was relieved that the residents didn't come home to find me lying there! LOL

Shouldn't you have had the body conceptually hanging out of the first floor window, in an experimental pose?

psychodudu,
You got the point. I'm inspired by something philippe said and now I have an idea for another irrelevant photo.

By the way...I wasn't kidding about being relieved that the residents didn't come home to find me lying there. The house is occupied, but no one was home. I just shot it this morning.

Andrew said, "Shouldn't you have had the body conceptually hanging out of the first floor window, in an experimental pose?"

That is a *brilliant* idea! However, I'm sure you know by know that this was guerilla art. Get in, get the shot, get out before anyone notices.

I'm starting to enjoy this. With 13 ratings, this is one of my lowest-rated photographs, and I actually like it quite a bit:
* Relevance: 2.21
* Impact: 2.64
* Composition: 2.64
* Technique: 2.62
* Quality: 2.79
* Overall: 2.58

Flatline,
Thanks, bro, and fellow Simpson's fan.
I was quite careful about the door and windows, so as not to irritate the W.S. Relevance Police.
This house actually exists in my neighborhood. I didn't exaggerate the house color much at all.
I'll get right on the lawn.

You are very funny King, I gave you high marks for making me laugh so hard, so hopefully I didn't spoil your low ratings. :)

Thanks, Tracy...I'm moving up in the world. Now, with 15 ratings,
* Relevance: 2.38
* Impact: 2.88
* Composition: 2.94
* Technique: 2.80
* Quality: 2.94
* Overall: 2.788

This could also be titled, "Death by Pink."
And that's just water on the sidewalk, with hue, saturation and color balance adjusted to resemble blood.

What silly thing did I say to inspire you? :O)))

One can argue about relevance, but when I see such low ratings in composition, technique and quality, I think that's unfair (to say the least) and that the raters are not sincere and honest, and that really upsets me, as much as when it happens to me.
I'd like to hear the arguments of people who rate like this. Either there's a problem with the rating system, or is it with the people who rate?

One more thing: don't follow the rules!

philippe,
I expected the low ratings since this photo thumbs its nose at beauty.

With all of the strikingly beautiful photos already posted and not being able to or interested in competing in that arena, I decided to go for something different in my first image and to continue in my second, here.

These doors and windows are about the ugliest I could find.

The style I used is known and appreciated in art circles. In addition, I thought that Edward Scissorhands might be able to do some good work in this neighborhood. Personally, I think it is very funny.

What your words inspired me to do (I later changed my mind) was to find an abandoned warehouse and create my own WeeklyShot grafitti, with your words spelled out in full, and with a capital "R."

Should have realized this was a King work from a mile away. You're a strange dude King, but I like you.

Thanks, Jack...the feeling is mutual.

Well well well...I'm sorry I missed all the fun on this one. A dynamic list of images that generate the most discussion would make my life easier. At any rate, I would have rated this dots across the top. Damn. I'm sorry I missed out. You're a true envelope pusher, King (Kong). Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks, George. You inspire me, too.
