 A Dragon hand puppet snacking on the remains of a porcelain doll. (I've got both types of subjects, so don't even THINK of calling this DNMC!)

My original idea for this challenge, which didn't pan out, was based on a comedian's routine talking about his kid's naked Barbie collection and wishing to be G.I. Joe on a 3-day pass. I couldn't find the right kind of G.I. Joe for my idea, and it also turned out that all the naked Barbies are long gone from my house. Then this one occurred to me. I also tried it with a T-Rex puppet, but I think the dragon turned out much better and appears to be looking at the camera.

Pre-challenge notes:
Who knows about score anymore? I can't tell with any certainty. Hoping to get some good comments for the humor, however. (Perhaps a couple calling it gruesome, as well.) Possible criticisms will be the uneven lighting and perhaps a slightly posterized blue background. Still trying to learn how to do good lighting. If this were advanced editing, those would be easy fixes.

Post challenge notes:
Did pretty good for one of my humorous entries. I'm pleased. An unexpected surprise was a nice comment about my lighting from IreneM who has mastered that art. If I can do this well with desk lamps, I might be able to do something really good when I can buy some real lights.

Hmm, makes you smile as soon as you see it. :) Shot is a little dark overall and I think it might have been better without the wing clipped.

JMO! :)

The background colour compliments the dragon very well, all the colours are complimentary in fact.
