Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club. If I critique many more of your images people will start talking Don!
First Impression: My honest first impression was WTF! I'll hold my hand up and say even though I don't speed vote I totally missed the ribbon so apologise on behalf of everybody else without your imagination. The rest of the critique is made after seeing the ribbon and knowing the crazy mind that shot this btw.
Composition: Fills the frame well but maybe pulling back a little would have helped me see the ribbon during the first viewing before focussing on the little people?
Subject:Yup, its a ribbon but of course not of the colour required by the challenge description but guess thats why you did it and titled it thus? Whilst I appreciate the work involved in creating the ickle men I'm sure you agree its not your finest work don?
Technical: Whilst I understand why you changed the bg colour it all looks a little weird and on both monitors this was viewed on I'd say the people were more Bronze/Gold than brown. Did you use F/2,8 to deliberatley keep the subjects almost oof? am guessing with them being quite soft it helped the look you were after but maybe nice and sharp would have been better?
Final thoughts: Well, its not a 'brown' ribbon for me, nor the voters ;) Even though I see the ribbon nowit doesn't do much for me photo wise but makes me chuckle so guess your work is done here.

| What could you have possibly been thinking. This was too well thought out and makes too much sense. |

| OK, you got it for the title. I was also hoping to get the inmates of Guanntanamo to club together for a long stretch award, but they closed it down. Shucks. |

| Creative, but not meeting the challenge for me I'm afraid. I might go for it if there was actually a brown ribbon but little gold people..hmm, I don't think so. |

| Unique and creative take on the challenge. I think the people could have been placed a little differently, as it was difficult to make out the ribbon at first. Not a big fan of the background either, photographing this on black cloth may improve it IMO. |

| Very creative, but the challenge requires the red, yellow or blue DPC reibbon. |
