Yes, this is an actual Emmy (a regional one) that I'm proud to say belongs to me :). I have 6 that I've been lucky enough to have bestowed upon me over the 15 years I've served as Editor, DP & Producer on movies, television shows & commercials.

POST CHALLENGE:
One man's bokeh is another man's blurry...
The voters on this site remind me of the focus groups you have to deal with sometimes. A few of these comments are hilarious - the thought that I was supposed to somehow make the connection to me obvious seems asinine, IMHO. Would a snapshot of me posing with the statue have made a better image for some of you? A sign? Does it matter? How about YOU use some imagination... LOL...
Don't get me wrong - I know this wasn't a GREAT entry and I do sincerely appreciate the various 'insight' given here. Thanks!
This was the first time I ever asked for other people's advice when entering a challenge - I basically came up with 3 images & here are the 2 alternates:

The connection between the Emmy and your occupation isn't obvious to me. Does this mean that you are an actor? Do you craft the Emmy's? I might be just a little slow but I need a little help here.
So your occupation is in TV? Or you actually make the trophies? I like the shot though. Technically well executed. A touch soft on the focus, but the dazzling bokeh makes up for it.
nice frame. Loved the colors. found the bottom circle a little overpowering, would like to have the head on the 1/3 line intersection, also possiblywould have have figure looking right.
