Challenge: School Days: Chemistry (Basic Editing III)

Step 1: Place a chunk of fresh MacHaggis in a birdcage, which has been supported by a twig, with a piece of string attached to it.
Step 2: Patiently sit and wait for the muncher to arrive. He is sure to be attracted by the smell of the MacHaggis, which is caused by the release of molecules of MacHaggis into the air.
Step 3: Wait some more. MacHaggis Munchers have a keen sense of smell, but they're very lazy. Inevitably their hunger will eventually get the better of them. Just be patient.
Step 4: Convert from RAW, open in PS and adjust Curves, and Selective Colour, Crop, Add Border, and serve.
Step 5: Feeds 1 very small child.

Back to comment: Airborne molecules are a bit tough to see in a 640-pixel image. Thus, your image shows everything but the challenge topic. However, my vote was based on the image itself with minor influence by whether or not it meets the challenge. With that being said, I have a couple of suggestions for improvement. First, you might want to do a little bit of adjustment in PP, as the Muncher has blown highlights on the left side. Second, I really would have liked to have seen a bit more of the cage on top, as it took me a few seconds to recognize that this was a cage being held up by a stick. I assume the MacHaggis Muncher is a regional character and I hope to read a bit about him in your comment section after the challenge concludes.

Sort of funny - but not quite?

Cute. But I find it too much of a reach to relate this to the topic (without the title anyway).
