 That's an actual giant flipflop, from a promotional campaign for Mike's Hard Lemonade; I've had it for years, finally had a use for it. The model is nickyb, and afterwards I gave it to him to get it out of my house; HE used it for this entry:



Jejeje...

I'd LOVE to hear from whoever asked for validation on this: was it the processing, or did you think I'd cloned the flipflop in?

So you get your models from DPC :) To be honest, I didn't liked the colors here (but sometimes nature produce some strange things).

I gave you a 7 for this, but it was quirky and intriguing and I had to come looking for the back story. I never connected the kitteh in the giant flipflop with this one, but how many giant flipflops would there be?

Nice to see who the shooter was on this shot. I was tempted to ask for validation, but I didn't. I thought the flip flop might have been a separate photo and cloned into the shot as a layer. I thought this due to the processing. It was the highlights on the person's arms and legs and the shadow cast by the shoe that made me think the light was a little different on each item. I ended up voting a 7!

The giant flip-flop! I'm guessing the "wonderful model" is Nicky by the shoes :)

--- very nice harmony between the blue jeans and the blue of the ocean
