All I Want....Is A Friend

Touchingly sad. The dark exposure sets the mood, the tilted horizon suggests that all is not right in the world, while the passers-by go about their business. Definitely a 10.

I have so many one-liners for this, I can't choose, so I'll just hit you with them all:

- To quote Mr Potato Head from Toy Story II, "I'm a married spud, I'm a married spud".
- Somebody get the freaking mistletoe!
- Part of me says 10, and part of me says 7... I compromised and voted 10.

Seriously, though, it's a great shot - nice lighting and color balance, and humorously meets the challenge. I wish you luck!

Hi Vikram,

Yes, I set the exposure to 1/20s and spun the camera while taking the shot. The near-instantaneous flash froze the snowman (who was otherwise dark in the foreground), and the slow shutter and ISO of 800 helped the background glow nicely.
