I always had the idea of someone singing in the shower since the start of this challenge. It was my idea first and don't you forget it! I thought about taking a picture of just me singing (the right side of the shot) but thought the shot needed something (someone) else. Problem was, I live alone, my girlfriend is out of town, and I don't have any friends locally who are good enough to be a model for me when I'm taking a shower and miming singing. So, I took a picture of myself out of the shower, printed it out, and taped it to the door. Yes, I am not only the one singing but also the one sticking my head in to see what the hell is going on.

The hardest part of this shot was coming up with a title. Seriously...what do people sing in the shower? I know what I sing, but they aren't exactly standards.

Post-processing was converting to B&W via channel mixering, then some curvatious adjustments. I even threw in some USM for no reason.

Yes, I am naked in this shot, but the lense was modest.

It's August 2007 and this photo is still funny! The face of the guy at the door is wonderful and it's getting most of my attention. I'm sure that the shouting of the singer isn't repelling me, but...gotta love that face at the door.

It's a great shot. I like the look on the guy's face at the door. What really made it was the title. I could hear you singing the words.

Extra point for the extra vowels, often pics make me laugh, but then I think they are dumb - stretching the challenge too far, but yours remains hilarious.

Points for creativity, unusual angle, and the second person peeking inthe door. Made me smile!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/21/2005 04:22:06 PM
Clever, well composed and full of humour... this should score well... Not sure about the face at the door... looks like you deliberately tried to create the blacked out background, and the face looks flat (like it is a cut out!?) I don't think this adds to the shot, but overall you have a top entry here.

Maybe would have been nice to be able to crop out the corners as the fisheye has left dark edges which distract.

Good luck!

  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/21/2005 02:50:50 PM
Certainly the funniest entry and very well composed. Bumping up.

08/20/2005 07:53:37 PM
A good, stupid idea ( I mean that in a caring and complimentary way!) It's actually planned and executed very well, and the result is a lot of fun. Love the expressions on both the performer and his audience. Also the vignetting in the corners, which makes it seem we are peeking through a hole. It's a very clever photograph. Also a perfect title. 8

08/18/2005 06:46:18 AM
Love the humor. I wish the lighting on the person peeping in were better, and that the pipes in the back of the shower weren't so weird. But I like it all the same 9
The vignetting gives it a spycam feel, I like that too :)

08/17/2005 08:05:24 PM
very creative. obviously not "live music", but at least gives the perseption of it. Again very creative, and because of that I simply cannot knock points off for "not meeting the challenge". 7

08/17/2005 07:03:28 PM
Funny. That head peaking in looks very freaky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/17/2005 06:24:30 PM
Brilliant expressions, great contrasts and an extremely amusing take on the challenge. I like how this is obviously staged without looking TOO obviously staged.

An 8 For making me laugh!

OK, although a strict interpretation of the challenge would count this one out, I liked it so much I am willing to stretch the box. The floating head in the door is really what makes the picture. 7, as high as I can give a generally off-topic pic.

This is funny. Whites are kind of blown, but that does not matter since there are so many things that are just funny. Pipe work, singer, watcher, spy cam effect, expressions....

The inclusion of the face peering in through the door makes this photo for me, great use of fisheye. Great expressions on your subjects. Composition works well. Slight overexposure works well in reducing extraneous detail.

OMG - This is hilarious!!
The title alone almost had me in tears, then I looked at the guys face at the door!!
Oh my face hurts, and for that you get a 10+ out of me!!!
An instant favorite!

Just heard this song on the radio and busted out laughing - had to come back and look at it while the song was playing. LMAO
