That was pure fun!!! I was yesterday in a supermarket with my girlfriend looking for some gardening stuff. When I've seen the garden gnome suddenly came to my mind a couple of ideas. We've taken a dozen of shots of the gnome in the most unusual situations (between the wine bottles, in the middle of fresh vegetables, among bras and lingerie, etc.) In the end this one seemed to be better exposed and completely "out of place". Isn't it "ironical" after all ? And, yes: "Amelie" is one of my favourite all time movies... ;-)

should have turned the gnome out alittle so that we could see his face, and also focused or cropped down to only irons in the picture, other than that good idea

Nicely done. One of the first times I've seen one of those gnomes used well in a photo.
