I loved this shot. I had given it an 8. Usually i don't find stuffed animal shots very appealing, but this was done so creatively...especially the lighting. He is most definitely basking in the sun. His position is so cute, and the windowsill gives the perfect half frame for the composition. Great shot girl. :)
Excellent lighting, position, perspective on the bear, and the background rocks! I especially like that the teddy looks worn a bit...well used. Very much underrated IMO. I hate when people make up their own challenge rules or descriptions and then penalize the rest of us when we don't adhere to them! Well done sister...from one of your sixteen 8's.
Nice pose and composition. Looks like the bear has been hugged a few times, too, so he's contemplating how good his life is ;-) I don't care if this is a toy, I like the shot!
