This was fun to do. My fiance' helped me create and pose the play-doh snowmen. I taped a piece of mylar to a piece of glass and lit it from behing with a 500w worklamp from home depot. I used the 420ex flash to add fill. That's about it. Hope this does well, but either way, I dig it :)

this is the *one* image I just couldn't bring myself to vote on in this challenge. I couldn't figure out whether to give it a one or a ten. It's just so insane that it defies a numerical evaluation.

i like this! all things considered, not a bad score or finish. the colors are extremely appealling. i'm not sure what the voters were looking for in this challenge, but it did and does give me a grin when i look at it. this probably would have finished on the front page of the neon challenge...[i'll have to remember this for neon ii]. going into my faves!
cute characters...the whole thing is tipped to the left, though and even though the lighting is the new technique, I don't think it's working all that well. It's sort of bright!
Maybe it seems tedius, but you established certain color patterns here, and having two of the faces done in pink when no other colors are replicated is a little awkward. It would even work better if the purple guy had a green face, because symetry patterns could justify having the same color twice.
And now I feel very OCD after making this comment.
Fun shot. Good luck to you.
