Good literalism, and reminds me of Rowan and Martin's laugh in!

You're Nuts
by jmsetzler

Comment:
An excellent capture of this squirrel. Photographically, it's right on. But is it a literalistic interpretation of the phrase: You are Nuts? This is "Your nuts", if you are the squirrel. Works if its a sound alike literalism.

Right Between the Eyes
by muckpond

Comment:
That's an interesting tatoo. It looks typed, so I am curious how you actually got it on you (my guess it has to be some sort of print-transfer). Good composition here, and good capture. And a good literalistic interpretation of the phrase.

Dressed to Kill
by Chiqui

Comment:
Nice idea. Perhaps a more intentional shadow fromvery low lighting on the wall or backdrop would have given it a more cinematic flare. Or shooting it at an intentional angle.

I heard it through the grapevine
by ursula

Comment:
I like the smooth tones here and the angle you chose. A good literalism as well, though the grapevine itself is not as clearly represented by the artificial one you have here (actually, the easist part to recognize and the part that works best is that curl at the bottom.)

Dim Bulb

Comment:
Beautifully done gray tones and soft transition between the bulb and the background.

Left out in the Cold

Comment:
Nice dramatic scene and good use of contrast for drama.

Two Peas in a Pod
by justine

Comment:
Good choice of literalism. Somehow the arrangement of pods here isn't as aesthetically striking as it might be. Maybe a black velvet background would have made these stand out. more as well

Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch
by Spanish_Grease

Comment:
Good literalism. I like the tonal progression idea here, though it may be too dark too quickly. One other just purely aesthetic comment is that the picture might have been more interesting a shot photographically/artistically if 1) taken with a bigger perspective emphasis, and with another means to indicate counting besides the handwritten numbers (maybe a tape based caldulator)

Girls Are Weird!

Interesting shot, though I don't believe this is a llteralism. It's just a fact ;-)

Might have been good to run this through neat image to reduce the noise; though it's also possible you just have too high a JPEG compression ratio.
