    A great subject, composition and perfect exposure. I find the powerlines a little distracting. The sky also looks as though this was a low res scan. Glad to see you back.

    The shot made me giggle, but let's get serious.

    The background really distracting to me. Maybe a crop on Ronald? I'm not too sure about that. But the background is really getting to me.

    A good fun image of one of my pet hate figures. In this context the power lines in the background I feel does not count too much. All part of the fun. Looks as if he is posing especially for you Tuna.

    Nice pose and good colours, the bit that get's me is the front of the vehicle being cropped out of the frame. This makes me go with the other suggestions to crop in further to concentrate on the figure. I can see why you took this but I don't think it works as it is.

    It certainly looks like the scene is set for a thoroughly unentertaining show so if that is what you were trying to put across then you have succeeded well!!

    Looks like a setting that was hard to deal with in all the distractions. I think you handled it well and the moment and subject are important here and brought to us well The image made me smile. "Ronald" is exposed very well. I agree with a crop here, and think that cropping out the right side just up to the painted image of him on the truck creates a better frame.

    I have seen that somewhere. I dont know if I saw it in real life or if it was in a movie. But it looks familiar.

    Good capture, fun image. Well done considering the situation you had to work with. I think the background is essential, gives it some context and it doesnt really bother me.
