 Unfortunately, I had all of these props in the house already.

*sigh*

I hope no one thinks I'm making fun of Tom Petty.
I am not.

He was making fun of himself in the song:

"Yeah I'll be King when dogs get wings. Can I help it if I still dream time to time"

The nly things I added to the original shot are the wings and the two guitars on the wall. Both models got a treat.

Now THIS is what DPC is all about. A creative interpretation of the challenge executed to a high standard. This made me smile and stands out. I would be surprised if this did not make the Ribbons.

I might have been tempted to crop a little tighter at the base to add impact and focus on the subjects.. the matching expressions on man and dog are the hook. Good Luck...
