Default Assignment "What's in your refrigerator?"

after_midnight_ cropped

I've had this idea since the moment I saw this week's topic (last week). Its been seriously post processed, because
1. I only own a single gremlin soft toy
2. I needed to use a flash to get nice light on the inside of the fridge, but wanted the outside dark to give the feel of it being after midnight
3. I don't own a alarmclock like the one I added in on top of the fridge so had to find an old photo (does that make this entry ineligible?) of one and blend in a photo of my microwave showing the right time

I'm in two minds about if I should crop it. On the one hand it does seem a little unbalanced as is, but if I crop it too tightly I loose the whole "darkness" feel to it and it took my way too long to achieve that to just throw it ways :-) I'd appreciate thoughts on that though feel free to PM me if you don't want to put it in the thread. - Decided on the cropped version when my sister told me she didn't notice the Gizmo's at first!

The exif info here is the same for all of them except the old alarm clock and the microwave time oh and the flash did not fire for the dark background photo.

Exposure 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture f/6.3
Focal Length 5.1 mm
ISO Speed 100
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash On, Fired
