This is a photo of my puppet, Haygood, doing what he does best. Guarding the corn and farm.
I composed this shot for midday because a scarecrow's work is never done.

Thank you for all the comments. However, like my description said, I composed the shot of my puppet this way. If you would have done it another way, then build you own puppet and shoot it your way. You don't think I did all that? I know the consequences of shooting midday,and I had flashes with me. I entered a challenge, not a "critique the crap out of ones work" contest. Again, thanks to those who actually liked it the way it was, and saw it the way I did.

Good comp and an interesting subject hurt by harsh midday sun.

Would have tried this from a lower perspective, just the sky as background with just a hint of vegetation. Otherwise nice shot.

What a grumpy, miserable looking scarecrow! 7

Using a flash will eliminate the shadow on his face, but I still think this is a great image

Hmmm. A scarecrow as a doll...perhaps a bit of a stretch but I can appreciate pushing boundries. Although the background leads to a nice "fall" setting I would have prefered more focus upon the scarecrow itself.

Oooh he looks cross. I like this one.

I think I'd like him to come and scare my blackbirds next time our plums are ripening.
