I'm really not sure how this'll go over, but I like how it turned out, and it's rather late in the game to do anything else. I wish it weren't basic editing so I could get rid of the extreme highlights and do some dodging and burning, though. Unfortunately, I waited until the last minute and the light was not good at all for photos. My fault for sleeping all day. ;)
As I'm sure is obvious, I'm having fun with using the overgrown grass and weeds of an abandoned lot lately; I hope that and the fact that I've used this bear before don't make it painfully obvious that it's my entry.
Editing: Resized, cropped, levels, curves, hue/saturation, sharpening, border added. |

| Reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit. I like the subtle duotone - just the color of a faded teddy bear. Nice dark shadows in the grass and good grass texture - both work as a good back drop to the bear. I especiallly like the wistful expression on the bear's face. 9 |

exelent negative space on the right, the bear face is looking in the right direction, good composition, only thing I think could be better if the bear would stand out a bit more from the background.
The tone in the image works well |

| lighting makes this tough as a bw...if shot a different time of day, the bear's face wouldn't have 'lost' its definition. |

| The nostaligic quality would be accented if there was a little less contrast. |

| nice subject. good lighting and I like the idea of the teddy bear in the field. The black and white gave it texture. I like that a lot. |

| Has good emotional values, which is further enhanced with the duotone. Personally I find the image a little too contrasty and/or sharp, but maybe that is emphasizing the harshness of the lost childhood. |

| Nice composition, I like the tone. I like the fact that you didn't put the teddy bear in a "warm & fuzzy" place like a child's bedroom. (10) |
