My hands down personal favorite from 2009. I would have entered this one in the tilted challenge but I had to use one where the license plate was not visible. I changed a few numbers around on this one. :)
From a Christmas Card shoot for a friend.
Thanks for all the fun comments. I'll post the lighting setup in the STrobist2010 thread if anyone is interested. Heck, i may do it even if no one is interested! :)

This is hilarious! Wonderful shot. Very well executed too with lighting and composition. I love the expression on the little guy's face. He looks seriously pissed that he just got busted. Outstanding!
Congrats on making the top 30 (in a very tough field). OMG, I'd forgotten about the little black leather Harley jacket! Too funny. Great expression on the kid. Happy shooting,
WINNER. I Dig this big big time. This is one for the traffic authorities. Big poster to the chief. These guys get the wrong end of the stick all the time and look at this. Parent off looking from the side and this little biker off to test the speed limit...but wait, frienly officer is there to assist and teach and help...its a dangerous world ou there little guy. I love this 10
This is HILLARIOUS!!! Made me really smile and the photography that goes with it, along with the editing make it a wonderful shot....no...make that a "story" that is too precious! :)
I remember seeing the various shots of this photo shoot and while this is top notch work I like the expressions and poses of the earlier challenge shot. In the earlier one the kid had this devil may care expression and attitude - channeling some vibes from James Dean Rebel Without a Cause/ or Easy Rider. Here the kid looks about to cry as he steps off his bike to talk to the officer which does not coincide with the tough guy look in the dudes he wears and the mean tattoos on his arm (nice detail to have him wear the costume tattoo sleeves). Still, concept, image clarity, details and compositional elements all are great:-) High marks ...although not as high as the earlier one I liked more;-)
perhaps the nicest shot I have seen over the past months... compliments, i'm surely not on the top ten with my shot, this instead i'm sure of the opposite!
