I thought and still think that this is a fun, humourous shot - too bad others didn't think so! I gave it a 7.

Some voters will never understand irreverence. Keep it up.

I see your idea, but your ighting and work on detail has to be improved.

whoa,how did you do that to a potato?

Funny. Not badly taken either.

I think this image is awesome! Nice use of the female form within the potatoe! My thought is it's like a spud's pole dance!

Great Idea. Love it. Did you shave breasts on it too...hilarious.

Points for making me chuckle!

very funny! not great on the technicals as some parts are a little out of focus but you get a 10 for great humor (using the word peeler is great) and to help make up for some of the bad votes you are most likely getting for not having anyone nude.

Normally I would put this way down, but it is so well done I have to give it some bonus points. Lighting could probably have been improved by adding some colours like in stage lighting.

clever! 7

Laugh! Awesome. Now that's something that's not seen in this section. At least someone got creative and looked outside the box and thought about it further what nude can mean too. A potato peeling and showing its naked skin, with a bit of fun added. Rock on! I would have the peels on the ground a tad larger too, different sizes of peels that is.

Creative and sexy patato...but sorry not a nude. Give some extra point for this tough.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO A potato with nipples... chips will never be the same again.

Sorry, just not doing it for me.

'Keep it tasteful and have fun' Challenge description. Yup .... you kept it tasteful, and you had fun!! Good work!

nice carving, but I'm not such a fan of the setup. the colors aren't pleasing and the peel and dark stuff across the "chest" are not so nice either... I like the play on words and the creativity, but I'm guessing you're getting hammered
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/29/2007 12:41:17 AM
hardly a nude now is it?
 01/29/2007 12:23:25 AM
Um, somewhat out of place. And not very enlightening.
