This was last minute, but I started to think about this a few days ago. Originally I was going to set peppers on fire, but thought that was not original enough.
I used my L lens as minions, placed that around a 300 and placed Domo-kun on top of that lens.
I imported this in Lightroom, chose adobe standard because it over saturates the image, and cropped the image. Since this is the basic editing challenge, I could not remove anything.
This is my 4th submission. These challenges are actually pretty fun.

Hello again. Yes, there really are other members of the Critique Club active at this time. Your images just seem to come up when I click the "Give me an image to critique" button. Although I do see Snaffles did get a crack at one of your images. Actually it's hard for us to tell if you have read them, as you don't mark any of them "helpful." but we'll keep trying if your image comes up in the queue.
Okay, back to work. Of course this is a cute image and I hope you didn't harm any of your glass. It is nicely seen and photographed although it probably would have been fun to see the primary, familiar Canon white lens off center perhaps a bit more, rather than dead center. But you selected that story-telling aspect as the best one to show off your idea and you were there and know what you could do in the scene.
certainly you are getting after the challenge compliments and that is always a welcome sight to see.
I will continue to look forward to seeing more of your work.
