Like this one much better.

I laughed out loud at the stretch marks title. I know that it's inconsequential, but I like the humor. I don't think anyone, teens included are going to look at the poster and believe that stretch marks are the biggest problem here. But it is possible that the judges will find it a little frivolous--I don't know... I think it's a great idea.

btw, if you go with the motherhood angle instead, you can simplify it--Sex last a minute, motherhood lasts a lifetime.

(even if the person leaves, never speaks to the kids after graduating, the child still wonders, suffers, thinks about, hates, loves, etc the mother.)

I like the picture, and I know you're trying to be upbeat, but it really does seem to be a celebration of teen motherhood. I don't think it will go over well.

Love the stretch mark photo.

Very nice photo!! I like it a lot. (don't you think they should give a little icon for top 20?)

I think this is a wonderful shot and should have placed higher. I find, however, that dpc isn't very kid friendly in photos. They do well when the photo is super spectacular, but other than that, the good ones tend to rank lower than other shots of the same quality.

Abduction

Sorry, meant to comment on images before challenge was over, but life got busy.

I love the idea, but I gave it a 5.

1. Even good ideas should be relatively appealing. The banana really isn't good for anything except muffins. It's kind of gross looking... So I "feel nothing" for the banana--so who cares if it's abducted? good riddance!

2. graininess doesn't really add much.

3. the thing on the right makes it look like it was a quick shot instead of a planned one.

4. It's really not a nice banana. I mean, it doesn't have to be perfect. A wonderfully, beautiful banana wouldn't have as much character, but it looks chewed up on the right side and it looks like it's starting to mold.

5. stem doesn't really need to disappear quite so much (nit-picking)

6. I really don't like the banana. (or did I say that before...)

I thought it was extremely clever, and was surprised at how low it scored. I gave it a 9.
