This image was eliminated from this week's The Week in Pictures during the final round of editing.
While we felt it was an interesting image in composition, color, contrast (the whites of the the subject's eyes are SO white against the body paint), we felt it went head-to-head with the image titled "Little Krishna," since we liked it for all the same reasons.
In the end, "Little Krishna" won out, b/c while both were performance events, we felt this one was the more staged of the two (since the subjects were actively competing as statues).
Check out the "Little Krishna" image as well as Polish snowballs, Hurricane Earl from space, dogsled water-skiing, and more.

Mush Puppies!
Out of the literally millions of pictures I have seen, I have never encountered a Mush Puppy shot, ever. This is the first time I've even heard of this "Silly Alaskan Game". The Giant Awakes Volcano was my second place, and The Stumps was my third place.
Gee, Haw....
I agree with Carissa. Getting this shot, while it's very well done, is a might easier that many of the other photos. And Little Krishna, you get the feeling the phrog was taking photos of everything around him/her at the event and caught the little girl with that look on her face. Moment in time.
That stated, I still voted for the Hurricane photo from space. Because photos from space are (wait for it) out of this world.
Michael - typing of out of your element photos. I recently bought one of those disposable waterproof cameras. I took photos of my children playing in the pool. I haven't shot film in years. Developing is expensive. We are now looking into buying a digital underwater camera. Any thoughts?
