Neat idea Kelly, well done. Kinda' spooky. --Melanie (mlynn)

Thanks Chris.

It's kind of funny how things progress from the first "visionary idea" to reality – if in fact there's ever a really clear idea to begin with. In this case, I was wearing the suit and tie for a completely different image in mind (another Son of Man rip-off, but Bob beat me too it - LOL :- ) while playing around different kinds of fabrics for the kiss* http://www.pbase.com/cslr_challenge/image/48356672), wanting to steal yet another idea from my surrealist heroes – in this instance, I had doubled some quilt batting and was trying to wrap it around my head before the timer went off. Anyway, I thought that the crop was kind of fun and then Traveler saw it as kind of a nonchalant kind of pose – never really intended ;) - Kelly

I like this image, but I am not sure, as the others seem to be, about the arms. I think that they are conveying something, I just don't know what. When I clicked on the image, I thought that it was a head, maybe in a box, then when I say then arms it made me questions that. A head wrapped, flat on the 'ground' might have been really cool. In this, with the arms behind the head, wearing a suit, it seems like some smart a$$ who got drunk at a party, made a bet and now is proving his point. But hey, all that questioning makes you think about the image and makes it a good image, seems like it should be in a series, so now I will go comment on your other image. Chris

This image has a certain appeal to me. I do not know whether you should have wrapped your arms too

Thanks iso, Bob and Traveler. - Kelly

It is the apparent normality of the pose and especially the cuffs that makes this image so effective...Great stuff, Kelly. Best wishes, Traveller

I like this - oddly disturbing. Definitely the best of 3 good entries.

A good set you've entered Kelly. But what will you do for the rest of the week? I think this is my favourite one, but its a tough call.
