I like this one. Sharp forground with some vibrate colors, against the OOF background with more subdued colors. Good image that meets the challenge definiation. <7>

This is almost comic, and the background fails to be monotonous (which is good, what with all the plain color entries). Color contrast is nice, and the rooster is so sharp and colorful that it actually looks almost like a plastic model. That actually hurts the image a little -- it doesn't look real. Otherwise, the image is excellent.

I think more sat and contrast would help here, everything seems a little dull.

More highlights on the scizzors please (LOL)... Very good overall. Imaginative layout, nicely lit. The scizzors up on the far side of the bag above the black rock would be fine, and would draw more equal attention.

Nice composition, cropping, framing, and use of contrasting colors......

Wow... This is the first shot that I've seen this challenge that made me stop and look closer. Very simple. Very emotive. Makes you think about when you were little. I like it! Not one that cares for fancy borders, but your image is strong enough that the border doesn't make me wanna knock off a point.

Edited to add: Wish it were bigger, but your crop is spot on!

Distracting border takes away from an otherwise excellent image.
