so cute! I love the effect! What filter is it? Or how did you achieve this look?

Thank you very much for all of you!!!

Nice Job Congrats

Pretty funny. Good job

I absolutely love this. Not only is it a well shot photograph, it perfectly illustrates how a single image can tell a great story. I'm only wondering if he'll have to fight a Spaniard once he gets up there. Great work, author.

Interesting in how people can interpret the same thing different ways. I was looking at it as if he were climbing DOWN, not up. This group of OBVIOUS desperados is making a break!

Great idea and execution.

Hi everybody...do not forget to watch SBS
thanks for all!

I like these entries that have the bears actually doing some "task" instead of just sitting it next to something

Thank you kyricom...I hope you enjoyed the SBS!

Thank you people!!

Congrats on your win

Fantastic shot. DOF is a LITTLE too low, but not so much that it ruins the photo. Great work!

You are quite right, I wanted the background really soft, but has sacrificed some of the sharpness on the bears, Should probably had my focus point a little further back, but you have to work fast when you are sitting in the middle of a road.

Oh come on...this is so stinking cute!!!!! Great set-up. It made me smile!

I agree with mom! Great and adorable!

this gives a feeling of movement,REALLY COOL SHOT, I WANT IT TO WIN )))

Fantastic shot...well done author

so cute!well done!

Adorable, but that teddy looks a little upset, how many hours has he been babysitting, lol. Still gorgeous shot.

The fact that the teddy looks a little pissed off about the situation, really makes the shot. GL!

Wonderful, this one is going to be hard to beat

hahahahahahah...Teddy look so pissed...GL

If you've ever babysat an infant, erathion, you'd understand why... :P He's probably just hoping the baby doesn't wake up.

Great shot, author! I'm loving the deep red you used for your backdrop. Hard to pull that off without giving the whole picture a "romantic" feel but you managed to do it very nicely. All the best!
