I decided to unsubmit my entry for the Magazine challenge. This is my take on Mad magazine doing a parody of Time's Man of the Year. Yes it is a real photograph. Yes it was taken of my monitor. I combined two images (guess who?) using Morpheus software, cleaned it up in PS 6 (using the term cleaned loosely), and took a shot of my screen. Did autolevels, cropped and resized. I also used Neat Image to clean up the moire somewhat. I figured I'd get DQ'ed or offend some people politically (not a dig anyones leader really), plus it was cropped in too close (never had time to fix) and my average is low enough as it is. Seeing as though I don't see any other entries like it, I decided to give you a look for a laugh. If you enjoy the irreverence of Mad, you'll probably enjoy this. Cheers.

I posted this too early for most. Just wanted to lighten the mood here. Hope it doesn't offend.

ROFL! That's a great magazine cover, I love it!

As for your concerns about disqualification, I'm afraid that, yes, this shot probably would have been disqualified. Since you photographed your monitor it would likely fall under the artwork rule ("Literal photographic representations of the entirety of existing works of art (including your own) are not considered acceptable submissions, however creative depictions or interpretations are permissible. This includes, but is not limited to paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, and computer artwork.")

That said, it's a great shot!
