Looking for opinions on the background. I'd like to try sky, but the sky has been gray and nasty since the beginning of this challenge. Any thoughts?

    While I'm at it, I'm considering a different title;
    Windsurfing (current)
    Bass Jumping (new)

    Thoughts?

    Alan -

    I'm so glad you started a thread because I was dying to say.. I LOVE this! I literally laughed out loud when I saw it posted, and think it is a wonderfully witty take on the theme thumb.gif

    The black works for me - it does make it more "cartoon-y", but I think that kind of works with the stuffed dog, actually.

    Great picture!

    ETA: I think the current title works (is "Bass jumping" a fishing expression which makes it a pun too? If so, I missed the joke... which is probably why I like the first one better :)

    It's more likely a pun on BASE Jumping

    Aha....

    However, I still didn't get the reference. Granted, I'm the least pop-culture-aware person on the planet, but even so "windsurfing" is perhaps clearer!! :)

    Thanks for the explanation Pyro :)

    Now I have to go back to the store and buy the stuffed fish so that I can have a double pun.

    This is too cool! and too cute! Love it!

    It would help me visualize the Loudness if there were some motion captured in the woofer. Hey, maybe that's a title idea...Woofer Surfing.

    What a great concept Alan!

    Capturing motion in the woofer is something on the table to do, haven't got it yet. I might try compositing another partial woofer on the image to show motion, have to play with it more.
