This is a photograph of a 13" Batman figure I have had for the past several years. Batman is one of may favorite Heros, He shows you what die hard determination and a buttload of cash can do for you.
I am unsure how this image will be met in the challenge, but I am hopping for the best like I always do. I am also hopping this is different enough from the norm that it may be a refreshing view... but also figure it will be knocked down because it is too cartoonish, to dark, and not true to photography.

picture of toys, when not for a toy challenge, tend to bomb. To be avoided in the future. However, It's a great capture. Composition is great. love the lighting and the colors :)
This is a photography contest. Entries should look photographic, in my opinion, and not seek to replicate other artistic mediums. Visually interesting submission, though.
Great...but is it a photograph?? Looks more like a cartoon, painting, etc. Kinda breeches the lines between photography and digital art, IMHO. But very cool, nonetheless!
