 wooden mannequin stood on a light box, with my husband twirling a sparkler around its head.

I first had the idea of something with the static mannequin with things moving around it - had planned for grasses/flowers or something, but it wasn't a windy day & I didn't have time, so remembered some indoor sparklers and here we are.

Photo doesn't hold any interest for me. The exposure, cropping, quality, etc, are all acceptable, but not very interesting.

Really enjoy this woody pic. The implied action of jumping through the flames makes it stand out among other previous woodies. 8

Woody definately gets around. The lighting is a little harsh on Woody, but the rest is spectacular.

I don't know about everyone else, but I just can't get bored with these wooden figures. The lighting is great and the red background is a nice touch.

I think he's running, not dancing. Running for his life! Poor guy is made of wood and is like 2cm away from your pyrotechnics! Those wooden dolls need a union!
