My wife collects dragons and I picked out 3 of the colors I thought that would work well for this contest. I used Photo Shop 7 to adjust the photo to the desired effects.

very nice focus and detail. the colors are a bit muted - maybe boosting the saturation in post processing might have added some more zing to them. i'm undecided on the choice of background (the textured wall vs. white paper that would have seemed invisible - guess i would have to see it).
Never, ever, ever wake sleeping dragons............. especially purple ones. Very cute.
Some parts seem to be overexposed. I think this is due to reflections from the light source (a little too harsh). The composition is good for what you are trying to portray.
