Very well-composed picture !

Nice portrait !

Very funny! How did you manage to bend the fork?

so cute...i like it

The heart shadows really make the picture. Well done.

this photo is really controversial lol. great work author ! you made it to the point that many members actually express opinions on your photo .

peace sign... Peace Sign... PEACE SIGN!!! Damn Hippy! giggle snort!!!

All about decency, wink wink! Yet another good one, author.

@author I have only responded because I feelt the neccesity to defend myself when a member brought up my own blog, which is totally unrelated to this image or gesture. Nudity is not the same thing as an obscene disrespectful gesture. Dont mix two things with eachother. Also these Naked/semi naked shots I have not seen so I cant judge them, however with normal nudity or even artfull, I dont really have a problem much if a child sees it by any chance. I dont think there are many cries going "OMG". Please dont exagerate, It was just me and oriental who could see my point of view.

I don't see anything offensive in this picture, it'is a wonderful and original shot. Good luck author!

fork off image on DeviantArt is labeled 18+ filter too, i guess we will need a 18+ filter on PXLeyes too

haha, you guys are going to run out of forks, this won't make your wives happy, good one author and good luck

hehe nice work! respect and peace author

@ Drivenslush & @Artifacts, You know you can still get a ticket when you raise your middle finger to a cop? Its a very disrespectfull gesture where I come from and how I was raised.

@pat the erotic poetry section on my site is labeled 18+ that alone should say enough, it means not for children so everyone is warned.

@ Author good luck with your entry, Im sure it will do well the quality is very good and it seems most people like it

I have fond memories of my family and I sitting around the dinner table and my father asking for my mother to pass a dish to which she'd respond by holding a fork upright and saying "Fork you, Greg" We were older and had been exposed to much more by that point so that little joke held very little if any influence in our life however it sticks out as a more memorable moment at a typical weekday dinner.
I enjoyed reading the comments on this image just as much as the image its self. Great take on the theme, IMO very creative and out of the box, even if it had been done before

ahaha , very creative :: ) GL author.

Very very very funny ! Hope that this one will make everyone ok ! ^_^

Eladine- you have a problem with this based on your children yet on your own web site you have a section called "Erotic Poetry 18+". That alone should be more offensive then a bent fork.


Author- When you get a reaction like that you've done well. Good job!

Pretty funny. Good shot too

lol@ Nator, you made my day, @ Drivenslush thanks for the answer, no more comments.

Great shot

Goal "Show me a COOL shot of something shiny that would distract me or someone like me (scary thought)." ... top marks for distracting not only the theme suggester but everyone else

Wonderful idea !!!

Regardless of what everybody think about that picture, I can see a lot of reactions ...And isn't it why ART is made for ? ... Generate reactions ?

Very forking funny, I suppose you have a whole set of these.

First of all @orentallad, if my little daughter gave me her middle finger, I'd put the finger on ice and rush her to the hospital and pray that the doctors could put it back on with no sensitivity loss, and then I would ask the doctors for a sedative to stop me from laughing after she said FORK YOU. (Snicker)

I would hope that I know my daughter well enough to understand what I had done to cause such a silly reaction.. If she got the idea from this Photograph, I'd give her a fork and a pair of pliers and tell her to make one so she could understand more about the idea and fill her with understanding (I'd want her to be president some day, and it's best to start them young)

But as you say, Mankind is Hopeless so then I'd probably just sell her to the Circus... giggle snort

Forking love, imo, kids that know what this is, apart from a bent fork, will know a lot worse.....but thats just my thinking. in the end its just a photo, n next week we will all be talking about a new photo.

@Drivenslush, OH MY GOD, thats, too much for an innocent and simple demand, let me ask you something and hope you will make the answer in a PM, what if your little daughter gave you her middle finger and said fork off dad, u gonna be happy with that? i know it's useless effort to stand against this since it's already a culture of billions of people and impossible to be changed, rules made because mankind is aggressor by nature and though still mankind is hopeless!

EDITED:

funny..

OH MY GOD!!! THE CHILDREN.. the CHILDREN!!! we must protect the Children.. they'll see this picture and be corrupted and become ghouls in the night.. they'll shave our cats.. and become Nimcompoops!!! They'll want to put sour cream on their bagels instead of Cream Cheese!!! OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

Oh yes Mrs. Gurgleheim, Billy would be a great student, but he saw a picture of a fork flipping the bird and now he's corrupt.. best just drop him off at the local prison and say good riddance.. you should have just staple gunned him to floor and brought food to him then let him see that photograph

give me a break...

Very cute photo author, good luck

great shot

my sympathies Eladine, mankind is hopeless

love this shot. great colors, focus and timing. very well done

Great picture and very funny !
I'm sure that there no need for children watching that picture to learn that kind of gestures ... There's a special place for that called ...the school !
Please, if you don't want to see that kind of things, stay at home, close your doors and windows, turn of the TV and computer and forget the internet ! Come on ! We are in 2012 !

Very nice and funny image!!

awesome, very funny and a great photo!

loool creative

Nice one.

hmmm, not very innovative, please see the original idea here http://icarus-ica.deviantart.com/art/fork-off-35321414

Poor fork...

Good Idea

really nice

cant help it but my children watch these sites and i dont want to learn them that obscenity is funny or art.. just my point of view thats why I dont like it. I can see how its a funny play on words but that dont make it less obscene. And no the wordplay would not have worked with a peace sign but that wouldnt make the image less powerfull.. after all we are voting on the image not the wordplay... However its your image and you have to do what you like best Its a great picture though with the reflecting light n the dof.

lol-- great

OMG THIS IS SOOOOO FREAKIN FUNNY!!!! LOVE IT!!!

honestly the image would work just as good had you made a peace sign, i dunno whats with the obscenity

Hehe I love it

Really sharp one!

Very crisp and impressive photo! Well done and congratulations

Way to do work sir! 1st 2nd and 3rd! Great photos
