That's extremely funny --- yes, an excellent spoof. Of Grant Wood's 1930 "American Gothic", to be exact.

I love this shot. Can really imagine Thomas spotting the bald guy, thinking of Grant Wood, and then sneaking behind the couple until the scene was right :-) ...

@uberschnapp, I'm with you. My first thought was American Gothic, before I read your comment :)

framing and comp are spot on, but it just doesn't do anything for me. I could be way off on this one though. I want to look at the relationship between the two people but I just keep looking at that white patch past them.

It's a save at smaller sizes, but viewed large her head/hair is soft, which is more obvious because his head is quite sharp. Probably she was moving just a bit. Really too bad, as it's a cool capture.

Pichead says:

cool shot. i think that if you took the exposure down slightly it would focus more attention on the two individuals while bringing down the highlights. interesting composition and close to a save
