The editing makes it look almost like a purely computer generated image.
Which is really cool, actually.

It happened to me with the vacume cleaner once, it didn't hurt or anything.

Yeah. It wasn't through the front of the dryer though. My long hair got sucked in the back when I was drying it one morning. The holes on the back cover were nearly a quarter inch in diameter! A good chunk of my hair got pulled in through them

This piece is really well done. The editing techniques used gives it almost a comical feel while still expressing the realistic nature in which this is happening. I had to do a bit of a double take to notice that it indeed was a photograph. I love her expression and the way she is also pulling on the bottom part of the cord. The one thing that does make me a bit iffy is the fact that it almost feels like she's still in the shower with the way the angle is and how the background is positioned. Other than that, it's a really solid piece that has a very humorous side.

thank you for the review. The mirror was actually in front of her, I think it should be understandable via the wire that goes towards the viewer. And I like the fact that we see the sower behind (I could have removed this more than easily), it gives a bit of madness and works in the composition.

Okay, I for some reason didn't correlate that there was a mirror present. lol.
But this is still a very funny and nicely composed photo.

My opinion, but this photo has been so severely edited that it should probably be under photo manipulations instead of photography. Her face doesn't look anything like a photograph. Just my two cents.

BenHeine In reply to HackberryLane [2012-05-02 09:14:45 +0000 UTC]
I didn't change the composition, it's still a photograh, I think it would have been a "manipulation" if I had added the hairdryer afterwards for instance, which is not the case. Everything was there, I edited the skin, light, texture etc... This is just pro photo editing, no manipulation

if you put angry eyes on the blowdryer this could be a goosebumps cover.
