Humor in Photography

Humor is used in photos almost all the time. Humor in photography is also used in many different ways.
In example of two types of humor, 'snickering' humor and 'dirty humor.'
In both of these pictures, the theme is that of a dog either on a pillow with people using them, or with dogs trick or treating.

In the first photo, the two people took a pillow and placed it in front of their faces. When somebody else told them that the pillows were in line with their shoulders, the photographer took the photo.
This photo has much humor in it, because the photo gives the impression that the two humans actually have a dog's head.

In the second photo, the one with the five dogs trick or treating, catches your eye, and forces you to look carefully at it. These dogs must have been either very well trained, or very patient...because the dogs seem to be very calm and natural looking. Like they have done it hundreds of times.
This photo has humor in it, because on Halloween you would expect to see children dressed as dogs and ghosts, not dogs dressed as ghosts.

Here are the links to the photos:
