I was careful not to use the same duck. The freaky pet in this one was one of several clay figures I made with my son the day before. I'm glad some people noticed and liked the shadow; it's pretty subtle.
That shadow is a really nice bonus. I actually happened to look at another of your Woody shots in your portfolio a day or so before I saw this (holding a duck), and your name briefly crossed my mind. So count me as one who thought it was you and not Art. :)
Original idea. Strange, for some reason I am smitten with that shadow. Not sure why, but it pretty cool. Love the pose you did of the duck and the woody.
Is the cute pet PlayDoh? You shoulda built a nice little PlayDoh dog, too. Let Woody have a whole family of pets!
And while I figure the score is based on not having a real pet in the picture (some people have no imagination), I think I'd have preferred more of an actual background (though yes, I know, DPC does not) to give it some depth.
Feels not so much like a pet portrait but rather a portrait of a woody and his pet. Image is a little flat, especially the "pet." Nice composition. It has a "studio" feel to it. Border works.
This voter likes it too. I like the shadowing, and the creativity in the pet. I would like to see a little more "pop" in the yellow and orange on bird.
