Lovely, original, creative idea.....this shot really made me chuckle. Probably a little too far out of the box thinking for many voters, but I really like it. Good work!

Aw shit, I was one of your 7's. I like the idea, I like that you had AN IDEA, and I think harsh lighting is appropriate for a Lemonator. Context is important. I hope you keep decide to keep shooting what you want to shoot. Don't just take pictures that please the blandness of the masses. Please yourself and please the artist and comedian in you. Cough ...fuggem :D
