I wasn't going to enter this challenge (in fact I went to enormous trouble to get a shot for the shapes one instead) but a last-minute moment of inspiration and a quick delve in my loft produced a suitable bear, who could even be persuaded to turn his head and press down a couple of keys. I spend a couple of hours getting this shot right and have a number of good outtakes - I hope I chose the right one.
Cropped, desaturated, hue added, sharpened, run through NeatImage.

This has a spooky vibe to it that makes it sorta special. The bear really looks as if you've entered into his realm and he's ready to start singing and playing … and then perhaps mangle me to pieces ;P
