Got a nice loud "WOW" out of me that got my sister's attention as she packed her bag for work.

Creative is such a weak word for this.

This was underrated. I bet it's because most people didn't see the shadow and gave it an average 4/5 vote. Still, I really liked it. I think it's very creative and imaginative.

This is so cool! i first didn't see tha man and just gave it a 6, then i saw the man and did a double take! I had to give it a 10! How unique!

Oooh! Creative! I was kind of confused about why anyone would choose to "dramatically light" fortune cookies. Good thing I came back to visit this one a second time, and then re-read the title, so that I could find the hidden meaning! Nice work!

Wow - at first I did not get this, because my eye was drawn to the fortune slip, and completely missed the shadow. Not necessarily a bad thing - I enjoy finding "hidden treasures"

Nice shadow play, the label is a bit too distracting, and pic might be a little sharper...
nice photo

This would have perhaps looked better if the colors were complimentary, say, an neutral color for a backround. The red clashes in my opinion. I would like to see this with an off-white backround.

Very nice contrast between the red and brown. Thought there may have been a little too much shadow, though. Perhaps moving the lightsource a little more right?
11/17/2005 01:38:25 PM
You don't want to know what I thought this was at first glance :-). Lighting from above to reduce the shadows some on the right might have helped this.

11/23 Edit. Completely missed the shadow, and therefore the point of the picture. Sorry! This was a clever idea.

If this isn't faked, then its one of the cleverest things I've seen in a long time.
Good luck. > I really must get out more :)

Ah, the shadow! I was so close to overlooking that. Very nice. I like to be surprised this way...8

Aha! A little more sharpness an DOF would help without taking away from the shadow.

Clever use of shadow. The cookies look a little gross though. The bit of white showing really livens up the composition.

OH WOW - what a cool perspective to create the profile. I wonder if everybody will see it. Good one. 7
