A fairly random shot of a Pooh bear (a gift for my unborn daughter). I don't think it fits the challenge at all, but I'm gonna try to shoehorn it in here (well, really my interpretation of the challenge is that the toy is literally stupid because it has no brains, but that ain't gonna fly). I don't expect it to score well, but I like it.

I like the tight composition a lot here, and I think this photo would jump from good to great with a little more focus on the bear's nose. I love the clarity you've caught in the fur on his head, and I think I'd like to see that extended all the way through. Love the lighting and the contrast between his yellow fur and the dark backdrop.
