"It's Not My Fault!", a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

The title is borrowed from a line spoken by the space hero "Han Solo" from the Star Wars legacy, and I apply it to this "space alien", since he seems to be having a bit of trouble with his space ship too.

The alien and his space ship are built of the tiny little blocks made by the Lego company ( http://lego.com ), and can be found at the LEGO Imagination Center in Downtown Disney® Marketplace, in Orlando, FL. There are several huge Lego statues at this location, including a sea monster in the lagoon, and a family of hatching dinosaurs.

It was a bright and sunny day, and I tried to keep this from being overexposed. Aren't the colors bright?

I also use the title "It's not my fault" because, even though this is at a Disney managed location, Lego is a DANISH company who has infiltrated our part of the world this time! (Laugh here)

Did you know that...
The name LEGO comes from the Danish words "Leg Godt", which means "Play well". In Latin it means "I put together". (from Lego.com)

Beautiful colors and nice composition. Are you sure you are not professional photographer? Too bad the one guy is walking behind the spaceship. The two little girls are cute :) and give you a great size reference.

Nice photo, didn't see those last winter !! Nice colors, I like the surrounding of the LEGO, the roofs on the right and the building on the left, thanks for the note, well done.

Technically, colors are natural. Framing is very good with the blond heads of these two cherubs into the foreground. "Han Solo" is well stiff with this posture : It would need a little oil ;-)
A very "fresh" and lively shot of this "artwork" for children. You could have put it also in the categories "Daily Life" or "Humorous."

Very interesting notes about origin of the LEGO trademark (a creative and intelligent game, that has punctuated my childhood).

Being a Dane, this surely a photo that pleases my eye's - you did a good job when choosing this angle and compostion - Ok - the "half" person at the right could have been cropped away, but never mind - also a very fine research you done - nothing to add :-) Most(read all) kids in Denmark has played with Lego in there childhood (myself included - age 51).

A well after all the stuff we can thank you for, its only fair we give something in return.

Regards Jeppe
