A few people have commented that the PJs looked quite real, so I thought I'd explain how I did it. I just got into my PJs and lay down on the bed the way I might if I was trying to sleep, and took a photo (see below - I can't believe I'm posting this).
I then went to work with lots of towels (and a pillow for the body) and the photo as a reference until it looked close to right. I still wasn't happy with the limbs in the end, but I think the main issue with the image for voters was the lighting - I STILL can't do it, and I continue to struggle!

I am really surprised that this didn't place higher. I gave it a 7, and it deserved it as far as I'm concerned.
Thinking outside of the box rarely scores well. Now if you took a picture of a hummingbird in pajamas splashing into water, THAT would scored really high! :)
how creepy!!

Stuffed pajamas?
