Very Funny!
I wish I had found DPChallenge in time to vote on this one, definately a 10 :) Even if it has flaws.
By the way where did you find the boots?
I looked at your photo in your profile and I had to do a double take! I thought it was Dave from all the "Wendys'" commercials or Tim Allens' shop teacher from "Tool Time". (LOL!).
I love the 643adjusted.jpg photograph in your portfolio, great work.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work. It reflects your happy and cheerful outlook.
Great work Richard.

Thanks for the extra time you spent with my critique. You have pointed out some interesting points. I wasn't completely satisfied with the picture but I was getting tired and impatient. I am still working with making my files the right size and am not comfortable with PS, I hope time and practice will get me past this. The junk in the background, I didn't even notice it until after I submitted it to DPC, and I decided it was too late to do over because my model had left, so I went with it. I appreciate you and others for bringing these improvements to my attention, I will only hope I remember to take them into consideration on my future photographs. I sure will try.
Thanks again,
Dick |

Critique Club comment :o)
Composition:
Very cleverly thought out, and nicely positioned. The crop is slightly odd, since there's very little space between the lower boot and the bottom of the frame, yet plenty above, so perhaps a slightly lower angle/crop would help balance this a bit more... but then again, the space above helps add to the illusion of someone lying there, so perhaps you made the right choice here.
Background:
The background is good - a very empty black, as per the shot its a parody of, but there's a patch of something just above the upper knuckle that's a bit distracting. I find that it always pays to make sure your background is completely spotless if possible.
Camera Work:
The lighting picks up all the details, and the DoF and focus are both pretty much spot on, apart from the upper finger which feels a bit less clear than the rest of the subject.
Post Processing:
Since you've not provided any details, I can only guess as to the post processing you've done, if any. One important thing to mention is that this shot is only 124Kb, out of a maximum 150Kb, therefore you may have lost a bit of detail by compressing the image down to that size - I always recommend that you try to get as close to the 150Kb line as possible, so that as little detail as possible is lost.
My Opinion:
Does this meet the "Humor" challenge? It made me laff, which is more than most did, and it wasn't a huge surprise to me that it did so well... BTW, where did you get the tiny apple & boots from?! :o)

Could not be more pleased, Dick, to see that blue ribbon for your photograph. It is such a good spoof of JS's picture, and your granddaughter really put the frosting on the cake with the boots.

WOW!
Like I always say "let's have fun". I truly think that "fun" is what it is all about. This picture is the result of one of those times when you wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning and have a great idea and you can't wait till morning to do it, so you just lay there knowing that if you go back to sleep you won't remember in the morning what the great idea was.
I first tried to recruit my wife to do a "nude" for the humor challenge and for some reason she wouldn't talk to me for qutie a while. After we started communicating again I explained what I had in mind and we tried it, but both her and my fingers were too old! My 19 year old grandaughter stopped by and caught us, and volunteered to allow me to use her younger hands. It was her idea to add the boots which really made the picture, at least in my opinion. Another of her concerns were that her "thighs" would look too fat. It was really quite strange how we immediately started referring to parts of her hand as those other parts of the body that we were trying to represent.
It was a whole lot of fun to make this picture, and I thank all of you that voted and gave me such wonderful comments. Most of all I thank John and Kim for giving me the inspiration and such a great picture to spoof. Last but not least I thank the person that gave me the "1" for taking time to evaluate "Un-Forbidden Fruit" and to keep me humble.
Keep Shootin' and have fun.

| This is pretty darn funny. Probably only to those that saw the "original" though. There is a funny shadow on the top of the finger towards the far left. Otherwise, the angle and framing/cropping are good, lighting is good, and the focus and clarity are also good. Made me laugh out loud. Good luck in the challenge. |

| Your boots are too big! The background isn't as black as it could be - and in a photo like this it needs to be as black as possible. There's some sort of mark above your "knee" that I find a bit distracting. Nice idea though. |
