That's actually pretty good, LegoDudez! 
YOU sir are an artist!
Hey thanks! 
Oh, and I edited my post with some of the resources I used:
The little guy is actually a brush a got, but I drew the balloon with the ink tool.
The font is called "Providence Bold" which is a great knock-off of the "Life is Good" font.
You can get the brush here and the font here.
How do you guys like our photo?
We know the concept has been done many times before. We just wanted to know how you liked one of our first GIMP projects.
Um so what are the results unilego
You're two days overdue Uni. That's 20¢.
1st mcoov- After thinking about it, yours did display the most creative way of presenting color. 
2nd LegoDudez- Yours displayed color, but wasn't as creatively shown as in mcoov's case. Close call! 
3rd Michael- Don't know why, I just likes yours better that the others for some reason.

Sweet!
Who was third?
OH SNAP!!
Give us the theme!
Sorry guys, I'm going to be gone for the next week, so LegoDudez is going give you guys the theme.
Fail judging.... total fail judging.
Why? Because you didn't win?
LOMO EFFECT!
I want you to master it! Here is an extract from this site about the effect;
What the hell is Lomography?
It was in the early 1990s when two students in Vienna, Austria, discovered a small enigmatic Russian camera, the Lomo Kompakt Automat, and started a new style of artistic experimental photography of unorthodox snapshots. In the blink of an eye the Lomographic message spread around the planet and people from North to South were screaming for Lomo LC-A’s.
Here is a quick tutorial: http://digital-photography-school.com/h … hotography

What the hell is lomography
Read the site.
its stewpid. NEW TOPIC
I thought it was really pretty easy to understand, and seems fun.
Oh, wow. Great reason, Yoder! 
To elaborate on his post, The theme doesn't seem very skill based. Basically, you want us to find a good "lomo-ready" photo and then apply the effect, right? If so, then that means this theme is more based on who can find the best lomo-photo, not who has the most skill in photo manipulation work.
Meh, I won't enter this one. The Gimp plug-in makes the image file size really big, 400mb last time I tried. 
IMO, I don't really think this theme expresses much creativity, you're pretty much applying a "cool" filter to your photo, and adjusting some of the settings. I understand that Photoshop may have a more easier options and settings to deal with- heck maybe if I tried real hard I would pull it off with gimp without the plug-in, but it would still come out almost like everyone else's.
Thats just my opinion.
I am not entering too.
