My son's old toy, when the challenge was announced I immediately thought of it. Bundled him up and took him up the road to my favorite. Trying out my new TZ1, I was pleased with the results.

I really do like this...that little drunk lookin' plastic bear, the crispy crunchy textures, the vibrant color, the title....actually, the more I look at this the more I like it.
On my computer this appeared very oversharpened. But then I thought about the photo without what I am calling sharpening ( who knows could be some other photo technique) and I think the photo might have been boring. The oversharpening actually kind of works for me. It almost makes the entire photograph sereal...and a little creepy.
Almost looks like an effect/filter were added to this. I rather like it, but not sure if it looks "pure" enough for the contest. I like the composition.
