Ya I think that one would be heavily dependent on a good title. Is it the coke has crawled into the pepsi bottle?

I think the "coke" went into the Pepsi bottle to disguise itself?

This shot works really well for the challenge. It's so clever :)
It would be nice if the Pepsi was a bit sharper and the background more uniform in color but it's a really swell idea!

I don't get it, and it doesn't meet the challenge.

hehehehehe :)

Okay, so It took me a few seconds, that's about 2 seconds more consideration than a normal initial vote gets I think.

I think it is a great idea and I would have voted it high. The DNMTC nazi's would have been out but.

Ok, now that everyone spelled it out to me, I get it...LOL Very clever!

edited to add that I think it would have been easier for me to understand if the Pepsi bottle's lid was of too. Just me :o)

I'm glad I don't have an entry in this challenge that matches the text I've edited out of the above quote. Don't you think that's a bit specific of a comment?

Hey, maybe your right. I think I'll go knock those down a peg or two on my vote...they really aren't up to snuff.

I agree..I did some with the lid off...I just posted this one b/c it was the first one of two that I was thinking about entering...

What may have made it easier to get would be to have a puddle of coke under the pepsi bottle. With a couple more puddles leading to the toppled coke bottle that has the cap off.

i think a few more drops towards the pepsi bottle with maybe on drop coming from the lid (if you could) but other than that GREAT idea, I caught it right away but others might not have so easily.

Sorry. Edited out. I understand what you're saying. I'm not all that active in these forums. But in all honesty no matter what folks say on the forums should other entries be put down because of that, but I agree that it's not a perfect world.
