This is the funniest one, in my opinion. Good job, and I don't know why you got critisized for the hanging string, its perfect for the shot.

very cute idea......I can see the string, so that takes away from the photo, but not the creative idea!!

A darker feel to it would have rated higher from me, still it is pretty cool.
