In the center? It's the fence. You can see all the way through my head to the fence behind me. Really.

Jay,
I sympathize, but give me credit for one physical door and window and one metaphorical door and window. Did it make you smile?

May I suggest straight fours?

figures, had i known it was you, i would have said that there's too much in the attic!

are you wearing eye makeup?

Hi, pusang. Good to see you back.

No eye makeup this time. I wanted to contribute something different and had this shot in mind before the theme was posted.

Did you see George's photo of me in the previous theme? It was posed just for you. I posted a shot of George as well.

I thought the eyes were meant to be the windows...

Hey King, I have not seen the image, but will check it out. I've been involved in two HUGE photo projects, so I have not been that active here. Nice image. I like it when I see people experiment beyond the norm.

psychodudu and pursang,
I don't consider this image to be experimental. It's conceptual, yes, but it's a basic advertising-style photo. I knew before I started putting this together how I was going to do it and how it was going to look.

Thanks folks, for all the comments.

Hell - while you're at it why not suggest straight fives? You never know, I might be the kind that just blindly follows instruction heheh

;)

Yes, it did make me smile - and think - and stop a while. The scoring reflected that...

This is an example of an image the polarizes raters. Some really like it (probably those more likely to comment) and some dislike it very much.

Jay,
I was just pulling your leg, but why would I post this if I didn't think it was worthy?...no, wait a minute...I'm one of the folks most likely to post an unworthy image:

Thanks to all who took the time to leave comments, and especially to those who found some merit in this distinctively different (IMHO) contribution to the theme--although not the only one.

Wow, in all those comments, no one mentioned the similarity between the shot and the poster for "Being John Malkovich". You can check it out here:

@ King - It's experimental, don't split hairs. You are also the one most likely to push the envelope that's for sure...lol. Did u try eyes open?

@ CraigMartin - What r u talkin about? I see no resemblance whatsoever.

psychodudu,
Okay, define "experimental." I'm not arguing--I just want to know what you mean by your use of the term.

I wanted to be looking up, but my eyes are sensitive to bright light and I couldn't do it while staring into the sun.

Thanks for the comments!

Ambrose Bierce defined a king as "a male person commonly known in America as a "crowned head", although he never wears a crown and has usually no head to speak of."

@ King - Well it's all about how you look at it, 'ain't it? I say it's experimental because you using us as your test subjects. I say it's experimental because it's not been tried here before. I say it's experimental, because what you say is conceptual just another word, and at the end of the die, what the heck are we arguing over 2 words for. Go ahead if you want to win your war of words, who gives a hoot? What "concept" are you conveying, and why can it not be called experimental. Here's another word for you....SEMANTIC.

Should be "you're using" not "you using", and "end of the day" not "end of the die"...grrr

Andrew--how clearly do I have to state it? I'm not wanting an argument. I just wanted you to describe what you meant by the word "experimental" because it doesn't fit my meaning. That's all. I'm interested in words and how people use them.

Peace, Your Dudeness.
ooxx

Terrific. Super. I love it. And I wish I had your photoshop skills.

George,
Thanks...and I shot the curtains especially for this composite image.

King, I understand what you mean about the whole concept/experiment misunderstanding. If this were mine I would call it a concept, while I might have experimented along the way with the lighting and different photoshop techniques, the final product is still a concept. BTW, all 3 of your shots were wonderfully entertaining. :)

Thanks, Tracy. You did well yourself. Your number 165 is very beautiful.
