Although this is a very good photo on technique I find that this type of cigar chomping character has been done here before and unfortunately it̢۪s not that amusing or even endearing to me anymore. Originality always scores higher from me.

Huge dilemma: I actually love everything about this shot, it's visually stunning and very well captured - congratulations. Shame you would submit it under a theme that doesn't suit it at all; there's nothing unlucky behind the shot, the mood or even the concept. In fact, we can't even tell he's in captivity. It would've been such a great entry under "free study! (and my vote would've been a lot higher). Brilliant shot though :)

This is just so sad. What an amazing capture. The light is sensational.

Poor fella. It sure would be unlucky to spend your days in captivity. Nicely 'captured' shot but a little lacking in contrast.

The really funny shot of the challenge :D
I'm very nitpicky when it comes to HDR/Lucis treatment but think its use here is perfect.
