Thanks to everyone who voted. I am actually disappointed with how this turned out. I did it VERY last minute. It would have been a lot better if I would have had more time to correctly and evenly clone out the wires holding the stuff above my head. I had this idea for the challenge and really wanted to try it (my inspiration was a pic I saw on here of a guy with fruit or something on a string above his head). Next time I will take more time to clone out the wires and not wait until 5 minutes before the submission deadline! Thanks again, Jordan

Hey! I'm sorry about that donut joke, please forgive me. But it's a nice picture taken with a camera that I love, the S5100. Nice work.

That ghost is looking to do some nasty things to you, man.

Since this is the "Dreams" challenge, the person sleeping seems kind of unnecessary. The props suggest what the content of your dreams may be, but I think that even in isolation any of them might have been used to create a much stronger, more visceral feeling for what law enforcement entails than the caricature that the unembellished accessories give me. Letting your audience's imaginations fill in the juicy details is a good thing, but expecting them to also write the screenplay for you is expecting a bit too much.

Very cleverly done and a good idea, but, if anything, I think that the items are a little too neatly arranged.

To be a policeman? Nice shot even though the blur around the hanging items show some strings were there, I would have just left them....

Nice idea
BUT... I think i can see all the cloning out you have done to get rid of the thread.
Good BW treatment
Good luck

This kinda reminded me of Richard Jewell(sp?) the Atlanta Olympics bomber that was falsely accused. What can I say????

Very creative! You pulled this off really well.

interesting concept for theme, please tell me that your elements are manufactured during the taking of this pix, and not in post. I'd hate to see this DQ.
Nice idea, whites impure, blacks good, nice lighting, great effects

Yeah, same thing happened to me after college, got shot, police radioed for backup, then handcuffed me and when I resisted, they pepper sprayed me.

...oh wait - I must've just dreamed that also! I never went to college! :)

Nicely done except the gun slide should not have been pulled back, but I'm sure it was some safety thing. Geez - it's a dream - don't worry so much!
