    #1 like the line of guys, just not pulled in to it.
    #2 is great. I thought the fire extinquishers were coffee urns at first.
    #3 clap.gifrolleyes1.gif
    #4 clap.gifrolleyes1.gif

    I like them all, but #4 is my favorite. I don't know what they are saying, but somehow I think the word "yep" recurs. mwink.gif Fine work, thoth. thumb.gif

    Andrew pretty much nailed it, Travis - 3, 4 and 5 are really wonderful. The first one is intriguing, but ultimately leaves me flat - though I can't say why. And I sort of like #2, but I have to say that I'm getting tired of photos making fun of fat people.

    But 3 out of 5 is pretty damn good! clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    Thanks for the comments, B.D.

    I think I can understand the apprehension folks are having to number one. My eye saw a sort of mixed up evolutionary scale happening here but I'm thinking that isn't obvious, or intriguing, to others.

    To me, making fun of a fat person would be more akin to snapping a shot of an obese woman with an ice cream cone. We've all seen shots of that type and I am inclined to agree that most are in poor taste. Number two wasn't just about being fat to me, however. I wanted to say something about the luxury of rank but maybe that didn't work out either. :D It's always good to know when you're stepping across someones lines!

    And yes, 3 out of 5 still rocks! I'll take that any day!

    No, I saw what you were doing with number 1, but it somehow just misses. I think you needed to work it a bit more.

    Here's a little wider version of number one. I don't feel as cramped looking at this one but I'm not so sure it helped the shot. Opinions?

    I think what it may need to achieve that special something is having the three heads all turned the same way, with the third head more visible than it is. Sorry, but it's hard to really put my finger on it.

    Np, B.D. Thanks for the advice. I think maybe it will just have to be what it is. thumb.gif
