Love the setup author, really appears like a gallery...lighting and all, wonderful job

How large are these figures BTW? it looks like a pretty large stump from a tree for the body.

This is pretty awesome. Great setup and photo! I like how you played on the words "stick figure"! Instead you took a photo of figures made of sticks. Very clever.

Be careful using those tools in the dark lol Nah - seriously, love the way the lighting emphasises the hands and tool

Great set up and light, I do however feel the chair is a little lost with all the things around it.

This is a dang nice shot Author. Sitting by the fire is so relaxing.
Good luck

Really wonderful colors. Very cozy and inviting looking.

Very Nice Congrats

Lighting... Black and White..... Composition..... All things are Fantastic........
and Hi-res have very Impressive Detail.....

wonderful photograph, but perhaps a little too much arm?

Excellent job of positioning the stand to prevent the candle from over dominating the image. Great photo!

Very strong image! Well done author!

Great alchemy of light, composition and colors !

Very cute - well done

Great... might have had some discarded "clothing" off to the side (although this is a family site)

Sexiest bent nail I have ever seen

Well you "nailed" this contest

Very clever! Well done... if you don't get this li will be surprised.

that is one awesome piece of work !! love the lighting, composition, shadows, etc,etc,etc.

like the setup of this -- very orignal idea well done

Wonderful light, set-up and DOF. Great photograph.

Congratulations on first place, difficult to compete against.

fav!

Yes Ma'am but it's gonna be hard not to!

Very cool... but it might look even cooler if you crop the top to exclude the top of the glass (to just below the liquid level), and crop from the bottom up to where a viewer sees lines in the stem. Maybe a little from the sides to retain proportion. The glass would still be "implied" but the emphasis would be more on the lines.

Don't encourage him, LOL

um... next time we are gonna need a full frontal ok? Nice work here. Very creative and perfectly executed my friend

brilliant as usual.

Great shot

This is beautiful, nice work author!

where...? seems a scene of an episode "Jail in Abroad" shown in Travaller tv channel..really liked this...!

I think this should have been first. Lighting is great.

oh ho ho ! good one.

Great shot, very good representation of the theme. Good work.

great shot

Nice shot, but perhaps a little confusing. Have all the condiments and accouterments for a burger or sandwich or something, but then he's eating pasta

Excellent photographic interpretation. Beautiful focus, great concept. Well done!

Good lighting and spot on the theme Well done
