Seriously?!? Seriously?!?

Only ONE of each? I mean, I do know it that said that. I do know that someone was DQd for multiple rubber duckies or something like that.

But when you have less than 45 minutes to do this because you're going out of town.

When you try to burn down your house because you want the frying pan on the stove. And obviously, when it's on the stove, the airplane would catch on fire.

And when the shot is so boring you try adding another paper umbrella to give it more help the composition.

AND THEN you realize that you can't have two umbrellas...

Seriously?!?

Ok. So I opened all the windows, trying to clean up all the flaming paper, cursed that the dumb flames didn't even show up in the boring picture, hoped that my house didn't explode from simmering embers hidden where I couldn't see it when I went out of town...

Umm... where was I going with this?

Oh yeah, I should stop complaining because quickly redone shot was so much better than the original. But...

I lit a paper airplane on fire! I didn't want to redo it.

And my house stunk.

Thanks to my son for being my model and blowing out the paper airplane fire. (although... that really did scatter the burning embers around the house...)

The tshirt is from a funky podcast. If you haven't listened to Welcome to Nightvale, you should give it a shot. It's quite bizarre. I agree that it's distracting, but I liked the strangeness of it. :)

Thanks for the comments!

I forgot to say this was my top pick. I loved that the scene seems almost logically real. And then there is an airplane crashing into breakfast. A very Nightvale event. (So obviously I am a fan, a t-shirt added to the shot for me.)

This looks like a Wendy shot ;)

The lighting is just superb definitely nailed that. However the T-shirt is very distracting I would've gone for a plain black T-shirt instead, abstracts logos and prints on T-shirts always distract the eye to what's really going on, especially in a busy composition like this one. Ditto also for the aeroplane, plain paper next time, yeah yeah I can hear you saying, but I didn't have any plain paper. Nearly everyone has a photocopier :-) editing is awesome though.

I hope he still got to eat his egg :-) already voted.
