Interesting subject, good color. Not a real strong fit to the challenge.

Now that's a strange stranger!

...and doing so with their plastic bodyless hands! Those guys are creepy. Cool idea and interesting find.

I find this a bit confusing - why do we have to beware? Perhaps the DOF is a little too narrow?

Is this a superstition or a proverb?

The title does it for the Urban Legend theme, but the compo is lacking something... not scary enough maybe? 5

Good DOF and composition, but I'm not sure how well the artificial hand and water bottle convey a stranger with a gift. At least personally, I'm usually not big on receiving bottles of water as gifts. ;) Very creative idea though.

Background is kind of distracting.

this pic is VERY weird. But, it does make me think and asks of me to look at it longer than I look at most pics. I think it woudl be better if it were cropped rigth up to the edge of the "arm", leaving out the pole and metal ring.

I like this idea, but thinking it may have worked better, with a handful of candy, or something other than an empty water bottle. a Little differnt crop.. maybe taking out that yellow stripe at the bottom would help.
