Very cute as graphic art, but I don't see the photographic qualities of depth and texture. Its too flat - like a painting on a wall.
My feelings exactly, I knew there was something about it that was not good as a photograph, and you nailed it, I like it as a poster just does not have the qualities that you stated. I did this shot by my self using a metal yard art statue that I had built and just traced around all the metal rods that make up the drummer boy, bulb setting, Thanks for the comments it cleared this one up for me.
