 "Age, Sex, Location" for those who didnt get it in challenge.

I had to choose from 3 shots for this challenge. One of them is now going into the FS as I was afraid my title was to olong and abstract for anyone to accept it in this challenge and I thought it was just such a rocking pic that I dont want to see a low score because of a title. The other pic was just hard to set up properly and edit cleanly. See my portfolio.

This would be another one of those images that make our neighbors think we are nuts. Our next door neighbors backyard is not fenced in. So we Aimee and I climbed over the fence because of the layer of ice prevented us from opening any gates. Brought a chair, our ring light and extension cord and the camera and tripod.

This pic looks odd. Someone told me I looked like a cardboard cutout onthe snow. I was shooting for something a bit silly and surreal. Not sure if I hit both marks well. We shall see.

This is so cute! I love that hat and mime dress and expression. I hate it that certain -- far too many -- voters were so brutal in this challenge. This is way underrated.

You have an excellent sense of humor :)

Was hoping this would place higher. A unique shot in the mix in which the acronym fits the shot so well you dont need anymore explanation. The nice shot is nice and clean to boot. You mention the cutout look, I didn't really think that till I read the shot description. So what if it does, adds to the humor I think ;)

I love the model's facial expression! It is hilarious. This image is bold but simple. The absence of any distracting (=interesting) elements in the background allow the focus to jump right to the man, and the humor in the image is fabulous.

A___ Seeks Lady?

You've gotta work on your advertising pitch mate...I think I know who your are ;)

EDIT: Thanks for the PM. Age Sex Location in chatrooms huh - I'd never have got that but if I had known the acronymn then the image would relate to it very closely.

Age, Sex and Location

Took me a minute. Any reason why "male" is indented? I feel like I'm still missing something ...

Nice job on the exposure; you set up a rather difficult lighting situation.

Artist seeks liaison? American snow lover? Average single lefthanded? Another stupid look? Sorry, I don't get it without looking it up - still nice shot.

My first thought was American Sign Language, but then I googled it and now I get it.

Setting seems out of context. ASL is used in chats, not for hitch hikers - which is what the setting reminds of. Still the photo is clever.
