My second visit to this pic, I'm sorry I'm so stupid that I needed a drink to notice the pun. I didn't vote on this challenge but it would have been an 8 (the right shoulder is a little blown). Excellent shot and a very clever play on words.
Just saw this for the first time and didn't even notice the title. I didn't even get it till reading the comments. Very clever and quite hillarious. Good job, suprised it didn't do better.
I caught the intentional "typo" right away, and I think having the lower black part fade out actully accentuates the illusion of his being struck by a beam from heaven. I would have thought that even the typical four-second viewing would have been long enough for more people to "get it."
Still, although I'll be happy next time I get a top-20 finish, this could easily have been a top-10.
What can I say Giedrius. I missed it.
I looked the picture over several times, with Touched by an "Angel" in my brain, and all I saw was what looked like the metal measuring device on a doctor's scale. Kept missing the humor in the picture alone.
I was one of the (gulp) 23 that voted this a 4.
Thank you all who voted and left comments. I wonder how many people actually read it as "Touched by the Angel"? :-) I wanted to show how absurd something may be when one letter in the word is misplaced.
I wish that angle tool was more visible than it is, but I could not do much about it since the bottom part of it is painted black and it blends in with the darkness.
I am sorry. This image should have taken a ribbon. The consolation of top 20 will have to do but keep up the spirit. You are the scoring type.
Your work is nice, your time is at hand.
Very impressive and very well executed. The model, pose, the prop and the lighting have come together here to produce not only a funny image, but a work of art. I have you in place holder and will return with final score. Likely ribbon. Bumping higher.
Excellent use of light, shape and form...but I don't get the angel part. Is this a measuring device on a scale? Is angel used as a term for the insturment resting on his head? Is Angel the name of a company making doctor's scales? Or am I misunderstanding what's going on here? Perhaps it's a spelling error? Maybe you were saying "Touched By An Angle?" That I would find funny! I'll say 7 just for the strength of the lighting. But, that's only because a 6.5 is not an option...LOL
God is an engineer alright. Nice play on words. Great composition, the lighting is miraculous, I like how it accentsthe top of the angle. A favorite. Good luck...Bumping up
Very clever, this is one of two entries that actually made us laugh. Well lit and composed. I hope enough people in other countries have seen the show and get the joke.
this is great! apparently i have an affinity for the absurd--and that seems to include bad puns...and this one is pretty darn good. ;) great lighting as well, the stark contrasts are perfect for this shot.
