Sooo glad this came first - I didn't have time to properly view entries, let alone comment or vote but this one I did stop and look at and made a mental note to come back and comment before the challenge was out. Didn't have time but looks like most people agreed with me that it's a truly amazing shot!

If she doesn't burn to death, then she IS a witch!
by Art Roflmao

Comment:
"We have found a witch. May we burn her?"
"Burn her! Burn! Burn her! Burn her!"
"How do you know she's a witch?"
"She looks like one!"
"Bring her forward."
"I'm not a witch. I'm not a witch."
"Uh, but you are dressed as one."
"They dressed me up like this."
"Augh, we didn't! We didn't..."
"And this isn't my nose. It's a false one."
"Well?"
"Well, we did do the nose."
"The nose?"
"And the hat, but she is a witch!"
"Did you dress her up like this?"
"No! No. No. No. No. No."
"Yes. Yeah, a bit."
"She has got a wart."
...
"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch."
"So, why do witches burn?"
"B--... 'cause they're made of... wood?"
"Good! Heh heh."
"So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?"
...
"If... she... weighs... the same as a duck,... she's made of wood."
"And therefore?"
"A witch! A witch!..."
"Here is a duck. Use this duck."

etc. etc.

Love this, very funny!

Clever idea, unusual and (presumably) tells something of your interests. More light on the (real) keyboard to match the whites of the face paint would work better for me.

Love the composition and direct eye contact. If it were sharper I'd like it a lot more.
