I'm glad I'm not the only one still stuck with the song title challenge...

With the title this is funny, but without the title it's not....hmmmmmmm 5

this was a difficult challenge, the shadow on the snowman helps him stand out, but the lower shadow is a bit distracting to me. I do also like the contrast between the foreground subject and background and the dof works well.

Great title! (I would have never thought of it!!!) At first, I thought the sun should be on "the other side", but that's what makes the snowman stick out from the background most (not a picture of a snowman in a snow storm!), so good lighting. The trees in the background tend to muddle the shot to me (Maybe a more downward angle??) Photo 8, but the title gets you one more...9 Swash

He's melting! Ha!

Good humour. Fill flash from the front would help make the poor dude look better.

Okay this one made me chuckle. All I can say that might improve it is for you to get in closer, so you really get a picture of the thawing snowperson. 7

Poor little bugger. I think this shot could have more impact if it was cropped tighter, may in potrait mode. Whitty title. Jacko

I think this would be a better shot if you just got closer.

Even without the title, the sad look of the snowman is pretty funny. I kind of wish there was a bit of light on the front of him, but snow is often really hard to capture nicely, and the extra light would probably make it even harder. Very catchy title. Made my brother laugh too. I like the angle and framing/cropping. The platform he's sitting on looks very nice within the photo. Great shot and good luck in the challenge.

Is this title an allusion? It seems very familiar. Either way, it's very funny for the picture. The composition of the shot itself is a bit mundane. I think you should have gotten closer up filled the frame some more. The shot is 60% trees, and that doesn't help the photograph.

Nice title. Not really reflected in the photo though, coz you haven't melted yet. Difficult one, coz a little pool of water with bits of coal in it isn't going to be too easy to make an interesting photo out of.

Love the title! The shadows in front of the snowman are a bit dark. I like the expression on the face.
