 No idea how well this will do. But I immediately thought of the old stuffed animals I used to play with as a child. They're all still stored away in the basement in a garbage bag. Particularly the subject of the photo, the small teddy bear named "Snuff" (it said so on the tag!), who used to be my favorite.

I just wanted to try and evoke some fond memories of when stuffed animals could be such good playmates.

**Well thanks for the comments. I realize now what the problem with this photo is.

good idea for the challenge, seems a bit dark and needs better focus

I love the subject and composition. Good texture in the fur too. I like the framing provided by the dark surroundings also. On the negative side, my eye is drawn to the left side where the focus seems to be the best and that part of the subject seems to be disconnected from the head...it makes for a confusing composition. Overall though I like the photo.

The editing and posing of the bear is not able to convey the message of the title.

I like the bear's expression, but it is difficult for me to see where he is. Garbage bag, toy chest, etc.?
