I like this image because it adds some humor to the challenge.
Another thing that stirkes me in images such as this is the time that goes into setting everything up.
You did a good job with your lighting although the little parrot is almost lost - could have used just a bit more light on it.
The set up is good with just the right about of other objects, the coffe cup, the pencil and the triangle....they all add to the effect you were going for without going overboard.
Overall a good idea and a good shot.
I just think the members were looking for more of the "Ahoy matey" theme in this challenge.
When this came up, I immediately thought of the song "Pirate of the Airwaves". (The original song is "Pilot of the Airwaves") Extra pointage for the blast from the past and just because I like the Legos.
