A good idea, but the lighting is too hard, and there is a white reflection on the wrapper

Well done. Nice DOF and color saturation. The overall balance of the shot both with the subject and the light makes this work well for me one of my top choices this time out 8

And your ribbon preference is?

Shame about the slight linear reflections (damn editing rules). Lovely clarity and capture.

Comment by moodville:
Did the ball move or was this handheld? What is interesting is that the white of the ball clearly has some camera shake (or else you have a very dirty/smudged ball), but the doll is very sharp. This certainly has humor, but not really sure what else to say about it. The OOF 8 just seems to dominate the image, which I guess is the point of it due to the saying. This doesnt really do much for me, sorry.

I realize the idea is "behind," however, the blurriness of the eight ball is distracting. I wouldd have prefered a clearer focus on both subjects.
