Cute idea. I'd try and straighten the lines on the background or use one without such strong lines. Might extend the idea by using some string to "tie it down" like in Gulliver's Travels...
Nice idea; the figures really enhance this photo, making it clever and fun. I think that with more precise and perhaps diffused lighting, and a better backdrop than a Rubbermaid lid, the communication you're going for could be even more enhanced.
this is one wierd photo. lighting is okay (sometimes putting a paper towel or toilet paper over the source reduces the glare). could have been rotated a bit and perhaps cropped a bit close to hide the back and left side lines - what are these things sitting on? got no flat surfaces to take photos on? low fat - big hunk? wonderful! 7
