 I saw this coconut at the supermarket and said to myself that it would be my subject for this challenge. The Christmas hat was an idea that came afterwards.

Thanks a lot!
I also thought so, but it seems that the hat idea was not very clever. I think aguapreta was right to think that many wouldn't realize this was a coconut, thus many voting this one down as "staged".
I hope to score better in the future.

Great idea. Nice execution. A tad overexposed in areas but acceptable. 8

Unique and creative. I might hae toned down the light a little and tried for more DOF.
