personally i'm not really sure outtakes from other challenges makes for the best free study entry, especially when it is so instantly recognisable and doesn't show anything different. conceptually, i do think it's great, and if it wasn't so early at the time of writing and i had my coffee, no doubt i would see something deeply philisophical here. it would have had a bit more of a surreal impact if the stand wasn't there, though. i do like this; the tones and lighting is unfaultable, composition simple but effective, and having a sky as background instead of a black sheet nicely refreshing. it's really cool, but methinks your obvious high level of creativity should have made you do something new. 7.

slightly dark, could be a little brighter in certain areas, but very cool non-the-less... very clear!

That's funny. I think the only improvement could have been to take the stick out of it's a** and a little more space below it's feet. Where to you people find these wooden 'people'. It seems they are photographed a lot. I'm wondering what they are really used for...

These woody photos tend to drive me away. But yours has something precise and nicely composed about it.

Is this entered twice under different titles?

This seems to be identical to "King Kong's Next Fling" from the Scene-It challenge, which would mean a DQ for both.

But looking at it as a photo ... it doesn't really grab me. Maybe with higher contrast, it would. I think it also might benefit from not as tight a crop. Part of the interest seems to be the contrast in size between the two wooden figures, so I'd like to see more of the larger one.
