lens = 75-300 zoom @ 80mm PostShot = resize to 1/3 + crop to 640x480 Subject = TweedleDum figure outside Disney Store @ Downtown Disney in Anaheim --- as Diogenes the Cynic carried a lit lamp in the daylight as he searched for an honest man, TweedleDum the Consumer lugs his dim bulb through the darkness in looking for an honest company; blissfully unaware of what happens to his money after it leaves his pocket ...

Boy - did I learn a lesson on this challange! Don't - I repeat - DO NOT rely on the title to set the context of the photo - What I believe I have is a GREAT photo, maybe for a "free-form" challenge - but after reading the forums this week (and reading the COMMENTS that ECHO the SENTIMENT of the FORUMS), there may as well be NO TITLES ALLOWED seeing how some people frame their judging
Anyways ~ at Downtown Disney, the last store (west-to-east) before you get to the park entrances is a Disney Store, and over each of the 3 doors is a diorama of Disney characatures. The outside common area is lit just like the inside of the main park; ie just light enough. A statue of a cartoon character looks pretty much like a cartoon itself, and the photo I got almost looks like CG --- anyways, I liked it ...
The colors and lighting in this shot are incredible. I don't know who or what Diogenes is, so I'm missing out on your challenge interpretation... but I give you the benefit of the doubt.
Ain't edukayshun wunnerful? ;) I LOVE the title and it's humorous take on the challenge topic. The photo is well-lit and well-composed. I think if you had any more light on it, some of the charm would be lost in the harshness of your model's composite body. Congrats on a job well done.
Cool, but wierd. Too long of title, but probably needed. Don't like the strong light in the lower left corner, but probably couldn't be helped. I would have loved to see the lamp lit, but you probably couldn't do that either. Focus is GREAT. Color is wonderful! I really like how the face came out. Personal nit issue: isn't this a photo of somebody else's art? I going for an 8, what do you say? Swash
