Subtle Wedgie Pick
SUBJECT: Subtlety
I live in a country (Japan) where subtlety in speech and culture is abundant, but it is extremely hard to catch that fleeting subtle moment. Try to!... on paper or in bits and bytes!
Edited 2010-4-10: You do not have to restrict yourself to cultural subtlety. Try to catch subtle moments or shoot a pic that conveys a subtle message. The message can be a bundle of pic and title/description. But maybe it is good to let people first discuss and discover why you thought there is subtlety in your pic. So, you might add your explanation later (but before voting...)
Definition of 'Subtlety':
Hard to grasp; not obvious or easily understood; barely noticeable; cleverly contrived; cunning, skillful; insidious; tenuous; rarefied; of low density or thin consistency.
Restriction:
Must be a real photo... although you can try to fake subtlety
Dare:
Portrait subtlety in people
WIT: Asked a friend of mine if he'd mind pretending to pick a wedgie from his behind and it took a lot less convincing than I would have thought. Asked a few others to stand in the picture to make it look natural and create the scene. Once in awhile I will be talking to a group of friends and I suddenly notice my underwear have gotten lodged in my behind, and I would try to subtly pick it. Though I would usually fail at being suave. Anyway, In PP I turned down the brightness a little, added some contrast and the desaturated/ cooled in picnik in order to give the skin tones a more natural tan color.
