Paulo Brabo Team 23

hehe.. neat.

funny image!

(i think it would be even a bit 'better' if you photoshop-away the elbow : )

llllllllll, I couldn't possibly do that .)

Sil: tu... tu... tu... tu...

..why not ?

don't get me wrong;
i'm not saying the elbow should be edited away for aesthetic reasons or whatever.
it's just that i, when i first saw that picture, immediately thought of a carnivorous plant eating the guy, like in super mario brothers - which i found pretty funny. and without the elbow it would look more like the poor guy is half-way inside the plant already.
(i'm not sure if anyone can relate to my sense of humour : )

again, i'm not a fan of editing myself (almost none of my pics here on 23 are edited in any way besides a little curve and saturation adjustements and maybe sharpening), but one the other hand i don't think (anymore) that it's "wrong" or "against the rules" or whatever.

gursky said that "photos are allowed to lie"..
if you decide to photoshop, make sure you do it right - or else you'll have the laughs on your side.

: )

It makes me laugh that the poor protagonist can't possibly imagine we are discussing the surgical remotion of his elbow.

I can sometimes photoshop a small detail out, but I like this as it is, and the elbow isn't a small detail here. I agree that the photo would look cleaner and the composition finer without the elbow, but Mick is undeniably right when he remembers it was there.

In the end it's a personal decision. If I won't photoshop his belly, why I would photoshop his elbow? .)

I love Photoshop Disasters, btw. They work as powerful cautionary tales.

Lol. He's apparently fighting hard, in every possible way, not to be eaten.

There, I can even see his elbow!

Peace =)

it's a sloppy job, and the teeth are missing,

but i'm sitting here without a mouse, and no photo- but gimpshop, so forgive me..

Cool :)
