Today I got completely fried at the bargaining table - boy he is a tuff negotiator! :D

Regards / Matty

PS: Would the pic be more fun without the quite obviously fake child hand writting?

Did another version, this time the text is in swedish, but it says the same thing. Better?

    Fun stuff, Matty. This would be a great stock photo: that whiteboard can convey any message, and your kid seems very convincing in whatever he's selling. I like your text as an example.
    enjoy being here while getting there

    That is a GREAT shot. I think the writing adds a ton -- color and a little humor.

    I'd probably crop out the ceiling, though. It's a bit distracting. Just lop off the top part of the photo.

    I like the orange, the black looks too business-like. The orange really compliments his great smile! Love it! thumb.gif

    Brilliant!

    My only criticism would be that the text was a little too hard to read, with the mirror-image letters. One or two, yes, but not so many, perhaps?

    But overall, A+!

    Haha! Well, the major part of the discussion circled around the saturday sweets. He applyed for one more "candy day" per week, but I was very hard on that point. Finaly we reached an agreement - he can eat his candy whenever he like during saturdays, not as before, after dinner. :D

    Matty, Matty, Matty. I always look forward to seeing your stuff. Not only do you come up with some truly creative stuff (my mind just doesn't work that way so I'm envious) your technical execution is almost always spot-on. This is another winner in all categories. Not to mention the fact that it is just plain fun. A great family photo for the future. clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif
