3 minutes to spare!

Post Challenge:
This was (another) VERY last minute thrown together entry. the lights are loosely and haphazardly clamped to my studio backdrop. I had a completely different idea in mind, but it would have been quite morbid and as usual I waited too long to have time to pull it off. Maybe next time. :)

Just looking over the comments. An awful lot of nitpicking over something that is obviously not taking itself too seriously. Nice to see the big G now and then.

LOL - yeah, I was cracking up at the "what's the point" comment. *No offense to the commenter - you obviously don't know me. :)

I think I need to find a bicycle that will fit my Godzilla figure. Then wait for an appropriate challenge.

Great light and detail. Voted earlier, bumping up.

He looks mad. I'll bet he really wanted a new bicycle. Something wicked looking with big knobby tires to show off his mad city-bustin' skills to his buds Gihidra and Gammera.

That's one big Godzilla - or one little teddy bear. Great combination of subjects, nicely set up. Not sure about the bokeh - it adds a fantasy, festive touch but it's also slightly distracting. Top five.

nice focal control. Interesting collection of elements but I looked at this for ages trying to work out what the point was then read the subject, I think the reason I did't get it is the facial expression of the lizard doesn't tie in with that. Also suggestion is that the lights in the background could be behind lizard suggesting the energy of rage in the past (behind) and passified future (no lights). (7)

Something about the composition makes the lights distracting. Maybe if they were behind Godzilla and not competing with it's head wold help. Like the concept though

Awwwwww...even Godzilla likes his stuffy bear :-) like the bokeh and colourful lights.

Ha, even the biggest and baddest cannot resist a teddy.

Cute idea, a little more DOF had helped, though (knowing the bokeh might not have been as nice, but maybe you could also have moved further away from the christmas tree)

Everybody needs their teddy.
So if the Japanese government just rolled out a giant teddy bear, they could have saved Tokyo countless times over??
