Fun interpretation. The black background blends in undesireable ways with the black in the animals & leggings for me. With the black, I might have pulled the snake around enough to keep it's face from dissappearing. Also, the girls left foot looks creepily detached :) I love the expression you caught on her. How long were you able to keep her posing happily amongst the animals for you? Well done.
Nice shot and great colours - I would question whether she is feeling in any way 'alone' in that particular crowd though - by the look on her face she is delighted to be a part of it :- )
Minus two points because she is obviously crushing Elmo's pelvis. :P Kidding, of course. Love the photo, although I can't decide if the challenge relevance is too weak or too contrived. Oh well - one of the better images in the challenge, so I'll toss a 7 at it.
