Couple of Lego sets, a stage made from a cookie sheet and some glitter, and a crumpled tissue paper backdrop. Depth of field is completely intentional.

For all of you who commented on the droid LL being way out of the focal plane -- you're absolutely right and I appreciate the feedback. It was intentional for two reasons -- first, I simply liked the way I felt it put the viewer more fully in the action -- like you're part of a bunch of droids coming up on the scene. Secondly, that corner was where I would have put some of my ad type -- price of the Lego set, or a logo, or a tag line, or whatever. Yes, you want people to see the picture, but the written information is what you really want them to remember -- and if I can keep 'em looking down there at it...
At any rate, thank you for all the constructive comments.
I dragged my five-year old son in here to look at the monitor and asked, "what's that." He looked for a minute and grinned and said, "Star Wars Legos!"
Since nothing is moving here, you could have stopped down and gotten more of the scene in focus. Maybe this result was what you intended - it does look kind of cinematic, but that little guy at LL bugs me. Nice work on the bg and icy ground. Sharpened within an inch of it's life.
these guys are cool. the dof is very effective, as is the background which seems like a rock cliff. a tilted angle might have given the image more movement to go with the battle scene.
So cute! Somehow I don't really like the blurry objects in the foreground, but it's not all that bad of an effect. Photo 9 Advert 10 Creativity 9 total 9
I think the battle droid in the immediate foreground should go. My eyes are drawn to it, and it is out of focus. Cool concept though. Hopefully Episode II won't be as bad as Episode I tho
