Very nice composition. The lighting is excellent, the posture of the puppet man plays off of the light well adding depth and story to the image. A fine photo. 7
I hope you are John and I hope there will be a print available. I was considering ordering the 'In The Beginning' print. If this becomes available, I\'ll order both and hang them together. Somehow you manage to bring life to little wood manekins. Have you considered changing your handle to 'Gepetto'?
The picture is good. lighting is right on as is the focus and subject. Can't say that I love it though as this figure has been used many times in many challenges.
Sorry to say this, but the use of these wooden drawing models is getting old and repetitive. Lighting angle is good, but I find that it's a tad slightly overexposed even though I realize that your itention was to bathe your subject in intense light. The torso also seems to be just out of focus.
