Challenge: Yes or No? (Advanced Editing VII)
Date: Sep 4, 2012
Date Uploaded: Sep 4, 2012

 The answer should always be YES. I had trouble with this challenge and did this last minute then realized I didn't really answer the question in my photo. But even though there are rough times I think the answer to whether or not to live the answer should always be to live. Oh well, we will see what happens with this.

Wow 4th place that was unexpected. Unexpected ribbon due to the unfortunate disqualification of 3rd place. Not really how I want to win a ribbon but thank you all anyways. Thank you all for the comments, some great ones in there lol. Thanks again.

Fearless yet full of vulnerable masculine charm...;-) I'm trying to figure out what the tattoo is of on the left side draped along your right shoulder. Hmmmmmm...

Congrats on your ribbon!

If you hang on long enough, life and luck will change and you can even wind up with a ribbon. ;)

You rock. Yes, but I have more hair.

Q: Do men need nipples?
A: Yes, so they can get naked and talk to skulls.

To be or not to be?
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio:
Can I make mush of any more Shakespeare? Sure I can, but I'll refrain.
Not sure about this one Joshua. The tones are OK, maybe a bit too dark in places as some shadow detail has been lost. It doesn't look like you're looking directly at the skull - I don't know if you meant this, but it feels a bit disconnected to me. Also, why the shirt off? Is there supposed to be a connection with the tats? If not, maybe shirt on would be better? I do like your composition - that works really well for me.

Yes and No, depends who's asking and how hard they ask.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/07/2012 03:35:15 PM
Exactly what did you see?

Sorry - what was the challenge again? You really need to put some clothes on if you want me to focus on artistic merit. Just sayin'. You're distracting! ;)

Nice photo. I like the lighting and I like the deep glaring look of concentration being presented.

Here is my interpretation -

Q. Am I glad that they made me read Hamlet in High School?
A. Yes, it gave me a great idea for a photograph!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Is there a story to tell? Yes, of course. I feel like I am missing the obvious question here. Doh! Terrific shot. Love the expression.

Q: Could Australopithecus be the Missing Link?
A: Yes!

Excellent image. I researched Hamlet, but could not decide on a clear Y or N ? Wrong place to look?

To be or not to be?


I'm guessing "To be"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/05/2012 04:18:32 PM
I think that the question is "where do I come from?". But this is not a Yes or No question. So I don't know. (I think the shot would have been more impactful would the guy look at the skull).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/05/2012 03:41:31 PM
To be or not to be... That is the question. The answer is Yes!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/05/2012 02:21:22 PM
Q: Is a head in the hand better than two in a bush?
A: No, not now not ever...lol
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would be proud
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/05/2012 01:43:28 PM
Answer: No. Keep that natural look, especially with the tattoos.
Question: Should I shave my chest hair?

Classic photo, well done.

is the question "should I get a waxing"? lol, good to see you Josh, did you get a haircut?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The contemplation of death. We are all mortal and thus, yes, we will die. Nice tones and lighting, like the "contemplative" look in the eyes. The skull has an interesting look of contemplation as well. Well composed image and certainly asks the question of life.

Photographically, I think its great Mr. Minso. You kind of have a knave's haircut mixed with modern tattoos, a modern version of the classic of classics. Good Lighting as well. Very clever, and high marks from me.

The English Lit. Major in me feels the need to point out that although the question is "to be or not to be," the answer for Hamlet is not "yes or no" the answer to his eventual death, and all of our eventual deaths, is simply, "when."

To wear a shirt or not to wear a shirt.
