Glad to see more people getting a chuckle out of this. He gets different costumes at different times of the year. Rumour has it that when they first found him, he had a 12 year old magazine in his hands (standard waiting room fare). They thought he was a patient who nipped out for a smoke.
babysister. Taken from across the street sitting in a warm car :-)

Were you up a ladder or keeping him company? I like the humour and hope that Santa gets your message.

Glad to share a laugh. I'll brighten/adjust contrast a bit as suggested.
Anthony I'd be happy to teach you all about Santa and how to avoid the lumps of coal you get :-) As for the banding, I'll have to know what you were drinking when you saw it. hehehe
Seriously. This Santa sits on the roof of a local chiropractor's clinic year round. As of this morning the snow storm has torn his top to shreds and he is now almost nude except for his hat and smile.

Nice lines, they work very well. Needs little more contrast.

Intriguing and humorous, I would love to know more about your subject. Your composition and subject is good, however I am seeing some banding and clipping of green and blue in the sky... Not sure why...
A.N.Other

Haha. made me laugh. Needs a quick 'auto levels' to sort out the brightness issue. GL.
forkcandles

the extra info was needed to decide the resolution
maybe "check the forecast before party"
great find for picture

Not sure the photo itself will put your entry at the top, but for the originality and making me laugh - I gotta give you points!

Amusing idea.

Needs to be brighter. Snow always causes underexposure. Probably needs +1 or +2 EV compensation.
