from the critique club:
This photograph is well taken. It is properly exposed and sharp and the composition is great. However, it would have to fit in the outer limits of the challenge, if it is to fit at all. With the challenge of fairy tales you had the opportunity to stretch the truth and called it Pinochio. This would have fooled some people.
I appreciate your sense of humor and can imagine the glitter in your eyes, but the voting block was definetly wanted the romanric and fanciful. Again, your photographic abilities are commended and so is your sense of humor because I believe you knew the end result. Your port is very noce and interesting. I like that coffee can bread. Funny.

Two extra points for the title and the sentiment! I think he would fit better in tall tales or hoaxes, though. Let's hope for a fairytale ending in the near future!

You are a brave soul, but I'm pretty sure you will get hammered for a political statement. I think it could have used a different title.

Too many distracting images coming from the left.
