 My aim was a really campy set up, complete with pink hair rollers, robe, and overly dramatic expression. The hammer is there because she used it to break into the diary. Hopefully the viewers will get it.

I'm very bad a studio set-ups and lighting. I have no experience at all. But I did at least get kind of the 'look and feel' I was aiming for. Definitely needs to be a lot cleaner tecnically.

Catherine, you're adorable with your eyelashes and lipstick, and you're quite the actress. Really, this was a great idea, and is such a fun photo. BTW, I like the "harsh direct lighting". It is appropriate to the scene -- someone reading in bed.

I think the lighting is pretty darn good for not having a fancy schmancy studio setup kinda deal. And I thought the hammer was to exact revenge on the former best friend....

This is SO CUTE! I don't think you are bad at set up shots at all! And the concept is awesome. I think we had some pretty ANAL voters in this challenge and alot of people got robbed! Like you! :)

Opening Mighty Good - Because Friends Fly.

Shewww that was a hard one to figure out :)

Technically you are the only one that has completely met the challenge (so far) because it is clearly plural "Acronyms" with an S. Including two acronyms in one photo? Genius.

I knocked a some off my vote for the harsh direct lighting, but I love the composition. 8

why the watch? Why the hammer? The paper is obviously just wrapped around the cover, you can tell quite easily.

Very funny! I wonder what the hammer is for, but even this no-sense (for me at least) makes this so laughable... LOL.
