Ever seen a Giraffe fly before?

[Nebulous]

Love the top hat!

 

[Nebulous]

Here's my submission assumiing the Giraffe is standing on the ground & not clinging to the plane:

Go, Go, Gadget Neck!

The title of the thread is Caption This! Contest...not Photoshop This! Contest

 

[Evil Eye]

I maintain that a hat can be part of a caption
And I didn't use Photoshop!

Spoiler

FYI: My submission is actually "Hello, sir, do you have a light?", but that didn't look quite right on the image.

Spoiler

I'm talking about the second comma obviously.

If not Photoshop, what did you use to alter the original image that the rest of us are using?

 

[Evil Eye]

Paint.NET, Photoshop isn't the only image editing software!

Sir, here is the definition of the word caption. Do you see it mention a hat?

 

[DrLeftover]

Maybe we should have a separate photo editing contest.

Good idea for another contest. Then members can alter the image all they want. Brilliant Doc!

"Are you as high as I am?"

@Jazzy He did include a caption 1st, then added the image just for fun I think.

I see a mention of a "head"ing

Regardless, my actual submission wasn't on that image from the start because the comma would've looked weird.

Contest Notice

The name of this contest is Caption This!

Unfortunately, two members have been disqualified for altering the original image posted.

There is still time for the disqualified members to submit a caption using the original posted image.

Perhaps in the near future, we will hold a Photo Editing contest.

This current contest will be closed for submissions this evening and a poll started tomorrow morning.

Good luck to all entering submissions!

 

[Evil Eye]

Jazzy, regardless of the images posted, both of us did submit proper captions.

I have posted twice the definition of the word caption. You seem to be ignoring the definition. All that was done was the two of you took this to a higher level than just a captioning contest. This is certainly not fair to members who did not or cannot alter the way you two did. This as I mentioned would be a good idea for another photo editing contest.

 

[Evil Eye]

No, these are the captions. The images are not part of the submission because, obviously, that wasn't the point.

"Hello, sir, do you have a light?"

Caption: Opps! I missed a spot.

I know I said the hat was part of the caption... but I wasn't actually serious

Can you put a tiara on mine please? Come on, here, any addition to the original posted image gives that member an advantage over the others.

 

[Nebulous]

They did submit captions, just included those images as a joke. When you create the poll, it will be in a separate topic with text-only caption submissions right?

Pretty much what I was thinking :/

Incorrect. I was going to clean up this mess and add the poll to this topic. Letting members only pick winning members name looking at what they submitted.
Making a separate topic is double the work.

 

[DrLeftover]

I agree with Nebulous.

He can create separate threads and with polls and start two new contests. One for photo editing and another for captioning.

Right?
