It was hard to take an interesting photograph for this challenge. All my interesting photographs had gotten a good vote so I had to make an uninteresting idea interesting. I decided to reshoot Toys to the extreme. I was trying to make it more interesting with this fire. The evil wizard had been taken by the dragon so he was dead and couldn\'t join this ride.

Camera Work/Technical: While your focus is nice and crisp on the driver's face, your depth of field choice looses some much needed detail in this image.
Lighting: Your lighting is very nice. Everythings seems evenly lit, and you lost no detail in your highlights or shadows.
Composition/Content: The composition you chose is the main strength of this image. The toy is up front in the viewer's face, but positioned very nicely to draw the eye deep into the frame and back to the fire.
My Opinion: I think this one is far superior to your original entry, as did the voters. I believe that it would be even better with a slightly deeper depth of field.
Djabordjabor I presume? Very nice improvement over the original. The DOF is very shallow, bringing me to the driver, nice. The shot isn't as cluttered and the colors are very nicely done. And you removed that irritating passenger, LOL The original got a 5 from me, the Take Two gets an 8 for improvement and originality :)
