 probably the cutes photo I have taken. Got some very odd looks though :D

Post processing was pretty much nil apart from a tiny crop off the bottom -not a fan of Nikon's AS sized output, and also a slight motion blur on the gingerbread man to slightly give a sens of movement. Did try to recreate it without PS but practically impossible for me.

Very cleverly done. The blurry grass and hands brings the viewer right to the gingerbread man, who looks both determined to get away and very yummy.

Nicely done. I like the inclusion of the grass to provide depth and colour. Also the motion blur works well. 8

Pretty nice, very dynamic. Reagrding the blurred parts I am a bit ambivalent...but I rather like it. GC

Good, very good! from the expression on the gingerbread man, to the motion blur, to the grasping hands in pursuit.

Good use of depth of field, though I wonder why the top left of the gingerbread man's head is blurred... almost looks like a slow exposure and that he moved. Could he move, was he really getting away??? :-) Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

excellent use of movement. did you use a density filter to slow your exposure? or did you shoot at dusk? Very nice capture, and a excellent idea

I love it. LOL. The motion in this photo is great, and that's the craziest looking gingerbread man I've ever seen. It would make a great Christmas card.
