wow, Im just finding myself with a great smile on my face. This is humouros, great creative thinking, and also good DOF, contrast and lightning, the shadow on the wall seems planned, and is not at all disturbing... good shot.

Mine's name was Bettina Wendy... Cute take on the challenge. Cabbage Patch Kids were certainly all the rage! I like the environment, the gritty and barren look to it helps further the "hostage" feel. It feels a little too contrived though for me. Not sure why, but after the initial, "ha that's funny/cute" the image doesn't invite me in to explore - it feels a bit two dimensional, I don't know how to explain it better, sorry! That said I did like the environs, the idea is fun, the focus and lighting work well too. I gave a 5

I WISH! LOL! Very cute idea, the dark moodiness of the shot lends to the idea, well done in that aspect. A 7

I guess I'm misunderstanding the point of this challenge. My interpretation is to create a photo that captures the feeling of the 80's. While this is well-done and amusing, it reflects the history of a pop culture event of the 80's, the photo itself is not reminiscent of the 80's.It doesn't have an 80's look and that is what I thought the challenge was about. I'm not sure how to vote.
