I really like the post processing in this. Nice job.

I like the creativity of this. The post processing is really fun. I like the jello at weird angles, and I love the colors of the jello. The image is a bit too dark on my monitor (which is just a laptop), and the focus seems a bit too soft for this type of illustration. Still I commend your efforts and hope you will do more of this fun stuff.

LOL! I got the biggest chuckle out of this, Brian! How delightfully creative and clever! Tell Carol she's a great sport (Hi, Carol!). Very well thought out and executed!

Nice idea - but the post processing ruins it for me I'¨m afraid.

Funny shot, but a little dark and overprocessed for my taste. 6

Did you use a blacklight here? Good idea - would be better with a white lab coat and without the floral tablecloth.

very interesting. the sticky liquids being at weird angles are throwing me off a bit as i look through the picture. the glasses and oversaturation in the hair are a very nice touch. good idea, 6

That is a disturbing image. Very nice post-processing -- those glows are something.

Okay, it will appeal to some, but not to me ... post processing way over the top.

Nice idea, but the post-processing seems to have gone too far, there is a halo around their head. I can see the story you are telling with this photo, please don't take offence from this suggestion, it is just my opinion.

This poor lady. On the set up, you can see the sheet you used. Or a towel, whatever it is. Anyway n3ext time use an iron and make sure it's completly flat. That way you can't really tell what it is. Great idea though, I like it.
