HAHA. I really like this, and plus, I think most everyone can relate. You'll go somewhere, like an oriental restaurant/buffet, and you'll be walking along the buffet (browsing it), then you see the squid/octopus/mysterious-critter-that-doesn't-belong-on-this-planet tentacles... you know what I mean.
If you weren't on my team I would have given you a 10! It's so unusual and fun! How did you manage to get the tentacle to stay in that position? Coat hanger?
Thanks, nice of you to say. Yep, coat hanger, but it was a huge pain. I bent the hangar into a rough position thinking that it would be easy to make adjustments to it as I went. Nope. The octopus had a memory of where it was and kept twirling around the hangar back to that position. Unfortunately, that position was with suckers away from camera. I envisioned something different than I got but with only an hour to shoot, edit, and enter before the deadline I had to go with this.

This made me chuckle during the Challenge and still does.
Good one!
Thanks, made the kitchen reek for a few days after the shot. I don't know which is sillier, the photo or my SO and I running around after sticking our octopus stinking hands in each other's faces forcing each other to smell its nasty stank.
really great pictures, one of my favourits in this challenge, Once saw a guy in a sushi bar eat one alive lets just say it was more fun to watch then it would be to eat...
This is hysterical! I love the concept and it's logical for the octopus to be the only colored thing in the picture since it's the only living thing. Awesome job :-)
oooooh my! lol. Well I'm sure this one is bound to attract some attention. I feel this image would benefit from some very mundane food in there to add a bit more humor (like a coca cola in a glass or a side of fries or a little platter with some lemon and basil or something)... or perhaps even a stuffy-looking person about to eat like there is nothing in the world wrong with their dinner, just something to balance out the absurd with the mundane. I would be interested in seein this in a top-down perspective also, to make it seem more like from the "diner's" perspective as opposed to a catalog type image.
Overal technically well done image, selective desat was used well. Nice job!
