Well Done!

LOL....beautifully descriptive title, creative idea. I like the simplicity of the background of this image, makes the dorky purple creature really stand out!

Wow. Love it. I think the great use of the black/white background/text has taken a fairly average actual photo (no offence, I mean in terms of the object) and turned it into something with real impact. 9

Cute - nice image well placed. I really like the way you did the white-black-white background. A very minor point - but "greatest hits" is not likely for a DEBUT album.

Not usually a fan of "toys" in challenge photos (if that's what I sould call this), but this is just too cool! Incredible job you did.

The dark black bar is distracting from your creature. Di you try it in another color or perhaps grayed?

I love the dinosaur and the egg, but the rest of the composition just isn't working for me. The black and white seem so disappointing with such a fun and exciting focal centerpiece like the dragon.

The creature seems blurry or at least not sharp enough around the eyes.
