ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! - brent

There was a funny story of a man late at night calling feebly for help from the outdoor hotel swimming pool. Apparently some part of his anatomy got somewhat swollen and then stuck in the exhaust port for the pool. Emergency lighting, ambulance (a fire truck, news team?) and most of the tenants were there to watch the release...

When passing the vacuum cleaner I was "overcome" with inspiration...

Adding this explanation after some of the comments that were made, seems a bit "unfair".

Perfect balance of colours and shapes. The inclination adds a feel of dynamic. Really, a great composition! endika

Brent, you wearing a barb or this ahhhhhhh came from your open mouth? I think the second is right. On theme for sure and nice idea. Like the composition.

Really cool lighting! I've come unplugged a few times, usually when I'm in the middle of something vital. I really like this one.

Great stuff, that's not backlighting, that an electrical fire, perhaps the subtitle should be "Phzzzzzzzzt"
I like the graininess in this, it says "man catching fire, house will then burn down", where the moment is caught on low-res CCTV or something. I guess you pulled the shadows up loads to get this effect?

This is SO me ! I can't count the number of plugs i've teared this way. Very nice one, i guess a bit of NR would blur it a bit more, while making it softer. Excellent !
