Spent all day trying to get this together...hope to get a 6, but you never know how the voters will react??? I fear a ribbon is only a dream, but a sweet dream at least...also, not sure how many know who Woody from the movie Toy Story is ....( he's the one on the right :) ....)

i wish there was more focus on the entire image, because to me it looks as if only his feet are in focus. other then that, creative take on the challenge
Great, great idea for this challenge. But ... looks overexposed, especially on the nakes Woody, and I'd like a lot more distance between the Woodys and the background so it's flatness wouldn't be so obvious.
Of course, there HAD to be a stand off some time, eh? I like the idea and the backdrop is fun.
A few issues I see with it though:
1. I think you've just missed the focus on the subjects, it seems to be on the bg. Even still, the entire photograph looks soft so you may want to sharpen as your last pp step before save for web;
2. The colours look flat, a bit of added contrast would help;
3. Over-exposure, particularly on the wooden doll's head and arms;
4. The composition is static and claustrophobic. A different angle would have made this more dynamic. Also the characters are close to the edge of frame - the crop is too tight.
