Well, you know, there is always a danger of getting in over your head when you hit middle age!


Made this one for Rene Narciso, who didn't particularly like it. Hoping you readers will enjoy it. She said, "I love the picture and the model, but to be honest, I think I liked the first cap you did for me better. I suppose because I'd love to read a bit more about the transformation and the later situation that is hinted."  I can certainly understand her reasoning. Often times I let the aftermath be inferred in people's imagination, and she wants it spelled out; and most likely more of a process caption. I'll make note of that and for the next one, I will concentrate on that style.

Rene tends to like more of an X rated style of caption, in picture and story, so I tried to load up on some humiliation and emasculation in the caption, leading into an implied more hard core situation later on. I don't usually do much with male degradation before a change, so I liked tackling it, and thought it brought some panache to the caption.

Lastly, I know it's not exactly a classic motorcycle, but with a 'V-twin' I wanted to use as a stinger at the end, it wasn't bad, and felt like it fit better than a Harley would have. And many of the models posing with bikes seemed much more bad-ass than the character would have been after the change, so those things were the main reasons I went with this picture.

So it's up for debate. Decent caption? Too heavy on certain elements, or not enough? How does the wife fit into the ending? Envious, or glad it didn't happen to you? Let me know in the comments!
