 Ok, so I managed to find an art store that sold these the day before the challenge ended. My first thought was to have the lead one catching a football, but I didn't have that all important ball. Maybe I won't lose too many points by substituting a rubber ducky.

In Aperture, I cropped the picture, and sent it to Photoshop. In Photoshop, I smoothed the black background, removed a couple of specks from the green surface, added an "Auto Curves" layer, and resized it to fit within 640x640.

What would have topped this one off is to make the title a bit longer:
"Hey, Come Back! I need that for the Ducky Challenge!". 9.

Fun Idea, I think might have opened up your apature more. To put both figures in focus, or lower it to totaly knock down the chasing one. Light almost seems ok, but there are bright spots. Nice fun idea and good poses.

Nice setup. I do feel that the boy could have been sharper.

Cute idea. I think it would have been better if you could have taken the woodies off the stands and posed them without the stands. Lighting could use a bit of work too.
