I was wondering that myself! I would like this better with sharper focus and more contrast between the (pieces/cells/whatever it is).

Thanks for the comments!

Since this was a tribute to a cartoon, I felt it appropriate to try and give it a cartoony appearance, especially after I saw how bad the original looked (see below). I also wanted to add an element of unreality by having the shrimp obviously real.

If I had had more time available I would have looked for a better background than the wood, but I was quite rushed when I took this, I think in the last hour before submission time. I was originally going to do this with a T rex, but I couldn't find my son's toy dinosaur collection in time; Jar Jar was a compromise.

I feel this is a little DNMC for a rain challenge but I still give a 6. I like the grainy feel of the light breaking through the tree

This is a great Larson-esque title and fits the photo quite well.

I think this would have done much better if there wasn't as much PP. Jar Jar looks like he was drawn onto the wood background and not a figurine. I think if he would have been really crisp and clear, this would have done better.

Also, the fact that this is obviously not a traditional Larson, probably hurt the voting.

Very imaginitive take.

Sorry, I cannot perceive rain in this shot. It may be there, it just isn't evident enough. The bottom right is blown and there is a lot of noise (rain?) on the whole right side.
