I came home after being on the road all day takeing these shots, took some pain pills for lugging both cameras and 4 lenses up the mountain, and putting the pinch on my already hurting back... sooo I had oh maybe 1 1/5 hour to edit it.. I did (on pain pill and dead tired) looked went OOO pretty colors... slapped it up and slunk off to the hot tub... the next day afer the open of challenge, I went WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING... WOW talk about over cooked... ah well I whined to Snaffels, and she comforted me.. Lesson learned don't drink n edit! LOL

Oh to add to the pain, I purposely went up to this state park to get a STUNNING reflection shot,,, the sun went under the clouds and stayed all day, until sunset and what you see is the ONLY sun, reflection etc of the day.... phfffftttttt There arewould've been some beautiful tree color reflections IF the sky had been anthing but flat gray!

Oh....my....ROFLMAO! I am floored with what you did to achieve the creepy and 'ugly' guy. Love, love the humor of the shot and kudos to you for your creativity. Great pose with the sly look and the 'stick' in the mouth as that he definately seems to be posing to look 'sexy' for the ladies on Match.com. The lighting is also great for it further accents the facial features, wrinkles and veins in the face and hands. Grats on placing in the top 5!

Now this is a great disguise - all the elements of a portrait are there but it so does not look like you. I didn't vote this challenge, but it would have been at the top of my list had I done so. Congratulations on the HM, anyway.
