Come inside and see why even slight editing can make a huge difference in a caption!
This caption was made for Whitney aka Hailey Pixley. She's sort of on the Haven, but I guess more so on Deviant Art as I don't know if she's even seen this caption that I posted back on April 1st.
It is a decent enough story, and I even framed it well, using the thumbs up sign she's giving in the picture to the beginning and ending of the text. Perhaps a bit too wordy, but it needed to be said. Here is where the editing comes into place. I wanted HER to be the focus of the caption, her lack of height and to a lesser extent, the pantyhose she is wearing. Here is how the caption initially looked.
Yeah. It's hard to focus on her where there is a man double her size standing next to her. Plus, If I leave out his face, you are going to imagine your face there instead. You could make an argument that I should have cut out even more of his body so that she's fully framed in the caption, but I still wanted to give some reference point to how short she actually is now, and she's centered in the picture so she is still where your eyes are drawn to in viewing it.
The story behind the picture (and the others I will post below) is that they are basketball players from Gonzaga and apparently she's a news anchor and also a graduate from Gonzaga as well.
Definitely a different feeling in being both a newly changed female, but also REALLY short! I can see why it is a desired transformation fetish. How would you feel if you were in this situation? Would your old friends tease you? How frustrating could it be and/or would it be humiliating as well? Becoming more feminine and shorter than your ex-wife AND daughter might be the ultimate in embarrassing situations, don't you think?
BONUS CAPTION!!!
Made this one while playing around in photoshop and wanted to try a different layout. It's not bad, but the fonts REALLY SUCK ASS! Even worse, I base the hook of the caption on a song written by Johnny Thunders and Dee Dee Ramone that I'm not sure many people even know about. Both artists recorded the song but it isn't exactly a chart topping lyrical arrangement. God that yellow font! I believe it is actually a Star Wars font! What was I thinking? GAH!
I missed this one on the Haven. Great story and a fantastic find with those pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteHow tall is the woman in the story I'd say around 5'5" or shorter
ReplyDeleteAs per a news report:
Delete"SPOKANE, Wash. - Our own Claire Graham is having a moment on Tuesday.
Claire is 4 feet 11 (and three-quarters) inches tall, and she loves posing with tall people. Here she is posing with former Los Angeles Laker Robert Sacre. Here she is with Richard Fox, and here she is with Gonzaga player and SWX intern Ryan Edwards. But it's a photo with two stars from the freshly minted Final-Four-bound Gonzaga Bulldogs that's getting the most attention."
The pictures I posted earlier were the ones mentioned in the article. All of the athletes seems to be at least 6'9" or taller.
4' 11" eh? I have nothing to add but would love to be that height. I have a couple of friends at 5' 0" and they never seemed that short to me. Mind you, I don't know anyone who is 6' 9" either!
DeleteBeing at crotch height she has to confront the change face to fly.
ReplyDeleteI think it was the right call to use the cropped image that you used! Fun caption!
