The lighting is a little dim, and not diffuse enough. I love the way you captured his pose and expression, but the photo overall isn't very well executed.
You have chose a difficult subject. The fact that it is small and that it is made of hard, highly reflective plastic, your difficulty factor climbs at an alarming rate. Next time try to use indirect natural light or diffuse your flash by placing some tissue in front of it. Remember you are in control of the situation and you must be patient enough to be completely satisfied with the outcome. Were you? 5
I don't care for photos of items such as this, and I can't imagine where it might be used as "stock photography", however, that's just me. It IS a nice sharp,clear photo, with very good use of negative space to accentuate your subject, and I like the tight composition.
The picture techniclly isn\'t too bad... The lighting could have been imroved slightly, the flash, or whatever lighting you used here is quite obvious in the round green (skirt?) The biggest problem here is that a stock company probably wouldn\'t buy this photo, and I\'m going to explain my reasonings. This could not be used for any type of advertising, or even mass selling because the character in it is copyrighted, and you and the stock company buying it and selling it would get sued. This is basically a picture of somebody elses creativity and work of art. Unfortunately I do not see this as fitting the challenge.
