 So I had this idea very last minute and I had a hard time finding the materials that I needed. I had the Santa shirt from a previous Halloween costume but do you think I could find green fur? No. So I ended up going to Wal-Mart and I bought a green fur rug that was the perfect colour. I just trimmed a bit of the fur off here and there and glued it on my hand with spirit gum. To my amazement, it turned out pretty good and I am very happy with the end result! Thanks everyone for your votes and comments!

What a fantastic photo! Wonderful concept, brilliantly executed. If I were you, I would definitely make Christmas cards from this image and sell them. I know I would buy them!

A very nice poster effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Aside from the red spot at bottom this is really just perfect. One of my top picks and I have a feeling that it'll be a top pick for a lot of people.

Nice lighting and idea. I like th comp and the negative space.

Excellent.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2007 12:49:33 PM
Nicely taken. I like the simple composition and bold colours.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2007 05:36:39 AM
I like this a lot. At first I thought the red below the ornament was a reflection but now I see it's probably the broken bit. I think the composition would be stronger if that were cropped out, but that's just because I'm easily confused.

Love this shot. One of my faveorites. Very well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2007 04:19:43 PM
Don't know where you got the costume but awesome! This would be so much better though with some scenery instead of a plain background. I know a Christmas tree isn't readily available this time of your but perhaps a fireplace. I dunno, I just feel you had a really great advantage with the costume but didn't take it where you could have.

Love the saturated colors on the black background. Shame the ball isn't blue then you'd have a RGB. ;) I believe this will top ten easily.
