Using a new formula....
0-2 Meets the Challenge = 2
0-2 Technical Merit = 2
0-4 Interest/Creativity = 4
0-2 The "wow factor" = 1
Final score: 9

The A/C detracts.

It is a very good concept. I would prefer to shot it closer.

This was a great entry to the challenge! I love it, crisp shot, good flame captured, and with a nice dose of humour :) Definitely deserved 15th, if not higher.

I guess its a bit pot-luck, but I'd like to see a less tight crop on the flame on the lefthand side - it feels a little chopped off. Also, whilst the foil base works well, it could do with a little straightening out, it gives a wonky "horizon" as it is. Other than that, you've got perfect timing, and its a very nice photo.

It's a pity I can't give more than 10.

Sorry to get to you a little late

This is a really good woody shot, and a great humorous idea for the theme. The lighting is really impressive as it fits in perfectly with the background .
Composition is strong, and fits the square crop well.

There does seem to be a little soft bit at the bottom, on woody's legs and the base of the lenscap, which is the only thing that bothers me

Other than that, very good score/placing - well done :)

I really like this. I would probably echo Larus' comment about the cropping of the bottom (slightly!), but heck, it's a great image as is.

Perfect Beatles lyric for this shot. I bet you had a great time taking these little guys picture. I love it!
