Clever indeed ... including the technical element of her motion blur to augment the expression in his face.
(Could have easily been overlooked in the spirit of the moment.)

I like the fact that the reflection of the sign is still there. Adds a bit of “I dare you to notice” element to the image....
Or the...I'm a jack ass and forgot, element...but I'm glad you see it differently...and I'm too lazy at this point...plus, I think (at least so far) you've won this week...so, unless I come up with something better executed, I'm not putting anymore effort into the shot
As i said before, I like these pictures who convey a great sense of humor. I have to aknowledge those great editing skills. Gosh, i hadn't noticed anything. Well done!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but considering my defense of the first one, I wouldn’t blame anyone if they just glazed over at the second.....
New rule for me: Wait, think about it, wait some more, think some more, then post..!
I think it's between you, the E.T. looking one, and the hand holding...yours it much more eye catching from a thumbnail...and unless we get some late entries (which we will), I'd feel pretty good if I were you.

Glad you like my sense of humor and editing. To be truthful, I think the execution was a little weak on my part...I have another idea for my entry that I may try and shoot tomorrow...we shall see...I'm spending more time on these assignments than I probably should but I need the "exercise".
Next week I may not have much time, I'll be shooting a golf tourney from Thurs.-Sunday...so, hopefully it's a theme that I can be creative and simple.

WOW! Your editing skills are reparable.
Happy shooting,

Thanks Yakim BTW, I read your question, where someone had called you rude and you were wondering if anyone else would categorize you as such...for me, the answer is no. I actually find you somewhat shy or cautious. I wouldn't find you to be rude. It could be something that you or the person accusing you of being rude said or read that was lost in translation...I think sometimes the fact that you aren't speaking your first language causes you to state things different than someone else may state them. I don't have any example where your English has been anything but good, in terms of writing...sometimes I think slang may cause problems. Like when Greg said, "bestest" improperly but on purpose and you misunderstood that it was on purpose. So far, that would be the only thing I can imagine happening. You seem to be a nice person with no ill will towards other people on the forum.
I think if anyone could be misread as rude, it would probably be me. Writing your critique out is a lot different than saying what you think about a picture...a lot of tone is lost between your brain, your keyboard, and the eyes of the person you critiqued when they read what you wrote.
When I used to post on here (in the People Forum) people knew me well enough to know, typically, I wasn't being an ass...I had good intentions...but this is a totally different bunch of people that have to figure me out...same with you, so don't sweat it. The fact that you were worried about what other people thought is telling in itself.

Jake, than you for your kind words. It matters a lot to me.
And a demonstration of my language problems is above. I meant 'Remarkable'. not 'Reparable'.
My iPhone app if free for a day or so if anyone wants to see it...it's my art nude series, "Pathways". Keep in mind, Apple is strict and it's hard to get a lot of pictures approved at the moment...once we do, they'll be a lot more to it...150ish to be exact.
Bravo!
And kudos for original thinking.
