You oversharpened this image in post. Very grainy and gritty. If you had ran Neat Image or just did less with the sharpening, it could have been decent. At least the lighting is pleasant
While I can appreciate the whimsy you're going for, the overall dynamic range is more than your camera can capture. To maintain the shadow you sacrificed the whites, to keep the whites, you'd lose the shadows. This being a natural light shot, some sort of reflector on camera right would bring your dynamic range down and possible keep both the shadow and whites in check. The color seems ok, but may be a little on the red side. I also have looked at it with 3 monitors and on all of them the image appears oversharpened.
I love this image! Can't help but smile. Interesting editing that I would like to see the details of. While I am usually not impressed with obvious editing showing up in a challenge, this just works and still maintains a pohtographic integrity for me. Hope to see this in the top 10.
Grainy and a tad overexposed on my screen but funny to see a grown man clutching a stuffed tiger although I don´t believe it much since the creature is nice and clean looking :)
