Well as a reader of the forums this take on the challenge was just a bit too obvious but I couldn't resist. I'm not going for a great score as i know that not all of the voters read the forums and so some wont get it at all. but I hope to make some people laugh and shoot thier drinks out their noses as this one pops up for voting. lol ok. well laugh a little at LEAST. come on guys. it IS funny even if the technical skills are mediocre. :) I made the wanted poster in photoshop and got the christmas village out of the shed. tried a few different ways to make the fire but nothing would light on those stupid houses. so finally i put a pine needle fire behind it. at one point I had a mountain scape behind it. this recreation of "the alps" that i painted but it wasnt fitting right into the scene as it was a bit too small so I got rid of it. hope you guys like my take on this challenge. or at least chuckle at it's stupidity.
tried the hdr from one raw thing(didnt go well, but used it a little)

Ahh, humor! I could do without the thumb. Seeing the paper straight on, or perhaps a bit singed around the edges, would help make it seem less like a hasty snapshot.
