I'll critique this based on what you mentioned in the thread.

I think this could have been a great idea for double take. It fits the challenge very well and it has a story. As you mentioned the technicals aren't great and it would need to be in order to do well especially for this subject which many don't really respect unless it's done incredibly well (toys, statues are treated similar).

As Don mentioned you need context to finish this idea. If you can make it look like "Candyland" that would wow the voters even if your technicals weren't the best. Looking at your previous entries it doesn't look like that should be a problem for you.

It is a funny idea, but not "I'd give it a 10" funny. It certainly doesn't offend me, nor would I frown at it. Don't know if it would have struck voters as good for double take in particular. I'm interested to see this idea depicted from a more level perspective with the objects, instead of from above, and maybe place it in some sort of context that told more of the story. Just suggestions, don't know if ultimately they would work or not. Boy, this is a wordy "reaction" - I'll stop now. :)

great concept, but you need a context to make the joke complete. put them somewhere you'd imagine gummy people to be. a candy dish? a gummy forest?

You got one comment? That's brutal. This is a good shot, Jon. A little fuzzy, but that seemed to be the issue with my dirt photo, too. That was a total last minute chop job - threw some dirt in a tub and tossed in the skull. My double take photo is of similarly awful unthoughtfulness.

Though I keep on beating you (muahahahahaha!!!), your average is still way higher than mine. :o|

The cat skull - I have several - and several live cats, too. I seem to run across bones, antlers and skulls and have a liking for those things - don't ask...

Great idea. Gorgeous green color. Focus is just a tad too fuzzy on part of the leaf. Too much cropping?

Nice exposure but the composition is a little off and the subject matter is a tad boring.
