Great photo - but just for fun, if the wooden man was pushing the orange up hill and titled "The Nightmare of Sisyphus" it would be perfect! IMHO. But then how mant DPCers know greek mythology.

to me the figure seems more concerned with the bright light shining in their face than the weight of the fruit. then again, i also see a barking poodle with a bow on it's head in the atlantic...so what do i know. the light behind adds to the scene.

Atlas + Sisyphus = Sassafras?

A 'classical' Woody. That's not something you see everyday

nice entry but the lack of detail in the orange spoils it for me.

Heh, instead of the Greek Sisyphus we have a Woody Sisyphus pushing up a 'fruity' world up a hill. I wonder what the fruit of his labor will be;-). Humor aside this is an above average composition. I like all the details you have in this photo from the carved continents on the orange globe to the Woody pausing to wipe sweat off his brow from the hard work of pushing the 'world' up a hill. Very creative work! Lighting is very good; all elements are perfectly illuminated. One small observation - I would have turned the orange world so that the continents were more of a recognizable shape - my first impression on seeing the image was of the great white space on the orange that is the Atlantic Ocean. The first look gave me the impression of a ghost before I noticed the orange is supposed to be the world.

This better win !!! This is without a doubt the best shot in the challenge. The lighting is great and the pose of the guy is perfect... 9

'Atlas Shrugged' might also have made for a good title for this one. Good shot overall.

I love this shot and a great approach to the challenge. Great colour in the orange, woody, and the background.

The light from the right is a little too harsh, but overall a stiking images. Expect this one to finish highly.
