I find that when I go into the yard to take photos of things I inevitably find weeds in the way and few photos get started without some preliminary weeding. In this case, I think a pruning sheers would have helped much, for the subject is upstaged by ten brightly lit leaves. And speaking of pruning, I'm not finding anything in the left third of the photo that adds anything. The subject has a cute face and is placed very artfully in the tree. Unfortunately the harsh lighting keeps us from seing any textures in his coat - especially in the shadows. So the subject ceases to be a stuffed animal, but becomes a caricature of a stuffed animal. This might have worked tho your advantage if somehow the rest of the photo had been made a caricature as well ( not sure what this would mean in practice.)
i can't vote on this challenge but if I could I would gove this 10. I think its a brilliant ides and it fits the challenge just right. I hope it does well
