Man this is a tough crowd at times.
In the Advertisement Challenge, I leaned towards an ad that would appeal to the users of DPC - us, computer users. I try not to take everything serious in life. (obviously)
My PC Stress Reduction Kit (Hammer not included) entry,
was supposed to put a smile on your face. I may not have studio lighting, but actually had a fairly decent photograph considering I used the on-camera & an off-camera flash. Guess the "Approved for digital use" on the hammer was overkill, but was part of the joke.
Guess a decent shot and a joke don't mix. (was decent in my eyes anyway)
So be honest now. What was so bad about it? Nobody has ever been frustrated with their PC to wish they they had one? (LOL)
The light shadow under the handle? Need some feedback/critique please. (I know about the price tag and wasn't real happy about it, but was the best I could do without having a nice printer here)
Guess I need to put on a serious face in these parts from now on...
NAH - NEVER!

Thanks,
I knew that it wouldn't even be in the top 50, but never dreamed it would sink to the 41% mark. That's why I was asking.

For me, your not selling anything. The PC Stress Reduction Kit, is the hammer no? But it's not included, so what is being sold???
If you didn't put the "Hammer not included" I would've voted it higher. Maybe I just missed the point of it. If it has to do with a parody of "batteries not included", you did the equivelant of buying batteries, but their not included. That make sense? |

| What jadin said, and from a technical point of view, the white balance looks too yellow, which is fairly noticable I think. |

I also did a funny shot (Exlax brownies). I luckily got 46th place, but I did not expect to score within the top 100. I shot it as an opportunity to have fun with a challenge. After I took the shot, a physician in our unit came up to the plate and began eating one of the brownies which caused a roar of laughter from my co-workers. He never got it, but we did. Sorry your shot did not score better. :)
