To answer the PM's:
Spray cheese along plastic banding material and let sit for a while so it sticks. Then empty can to make it lighter. Put bent metal through black mat board and crazy glued can to metal. Used double sided tape on far hand of woody to hold woody on can. Printed small planet and cut out and taped on mat board. Printed red circle, cut out, rolled into cone and taped on can. When cheese stayed stuck to the plastic, double sided tape held that to the back of the can while a thumbtack held other end on angle I wanted. One 250 watt light below and to the left.

I had this pegged as a kpriest ^H^H^H Art ROTFLMAO original. Good thing I didn't call you out in the comments. :)

I loved this one. A comment that I didn't get a chance to make during the voting is that I love the low-key lighting on this shot. I've got to start working on quashing the urge to throw 600 W/S of strobes at everything I photograph. The more I look at DPC the more I realize that good photography is as much about shadow as it is about light. This shot is an example of that.

Again, good job and congrats on your top 20.

Did not know woodies had so many applications in photography until I started following DPC. At any rate, it did make me smile...most creative.
