This is my wife's bear Theo, he's a huge Denver Bronco fan! Not much to set up... a white table cloth with a little back lighting.

Auto levels, auto contrast, that's about it.

four points off for the bronco's hat ... (hail to the Redskins)
but seriously I think that this is a good attempt at lighting a "studio" piece the lighting is not too flat (good think) and it is ok on the sharpness... bring it out more from the background next time

*I am only commenting, and not voting on this challenge*

A little too small here. Be sure to submit a photo that uses the full 640pixel limit to get the most out of your photo, and from the voters.

Having said that, this is an ok "portrait" of a teddy bear, but I don't believe the "orange" will be strong enough for most. You might also get hit for the visible folds in your background material, although some people also like to see that. It's a cute teddy bear.

2 - Bit of a stretch. Perhaps a tweaking of the colors pp to get the bear a little more orange may have made this a stronger image. Seems a little blurry as well, so aiming for a more 'steady hand' may have helped you. Larger too - again, quality dependent. Still going to be a shot of a bear with a Bronco's hat on - so won't necessarily appeal to most nor hold their attention very strongly, unless it has certain 'dynamics' in it, which perhaps need a little more work here, in my opinion.

This isn't fair. A bear wearing my team's hat? How can I judge this fairly ;o)

Wish the logo was more in focus. Pulling the bear away from the sheet would have helped with the wrinkles and shadows.
