Deep Throat
*by Ralph Otto

San Diego Zoo

Hey, Iso didn't specify what kind of film and besides, what an inviting... :)

In retrospect I would have used a flash to fill,
but during my quick trip to the zoo I forgot it.
I will play with Photoshop to see if I can get a better exposure.
Had a great time with it!


10/31 - I replaced the background and lightened the Giraffe.
11/04 - Framed and added a shadow / darkened background

Ralph: The drop-shadow works well. Gives it some depth. Nice improvement. --Joe

Ralph, this image is better still. The darker background and shadow give it a much less harsh feel. I like this version the best so far. -Earl Waud

I genuinely laughed out loud when I saw this originally.
I'm not sure about the new background... though it does have more of a "porn film from a store" look about it (not that I'd know about such things. Ahem.)

Ralph, I like the changes. I think the background was somewhat distracting, and with the improved lighting the giraffe looks better. Will this be the start of your "yellow period"? :) BTW, I'll bet it took a while to 'shop out the background with all the giraffe hair. -Earl Waud

Thanks for the chuckles! I replaced the background and lightened the model in Photoshop. The original is here . Better? Worse? Did I change too much for the competition? Let me know - Thanks! - Ralph Otto

Omigosh! This is too too funy. I agree with all below on the lighting but the photo is still a gem and the concept is hilarious. Ann

Ralph,
As soon as I saw this I laughed. I'd just recently been to the zoo and had quite a few giraffe shots, but never thought about using them with this title. Very clever!

Ralph – Nice, made me chuckle. liked the shot, just needed better light.

HAHHAH!!! It almost looks like old boy here is offering. LMAO. Oh this is too funny. Whoever thought we'd have titles to represent.. um, that genre! ;) angela :)

ROFLMAO. Yes the idea slightly betters the lighting, but so funny!
