Just had an idea I wanted to work with. I had trouble with the title and the challenge description of "go well together" but I do believe these things do "go together". Photo-Illustration is an area I have a lot of interest in.

Powerful statement. Of course very true as well. The lighting and poses on the figurines is captivating. I know they're fake, but it pulls me in nonetheless. Good work.
well...technically this photograph is excellent but its a little cheesy. Well, maybe thats not right word for such a sobering subject. My point is, war is a serious subject, of a sort, and the plastic soldiers seem to be satirical, and I'm not sure if your point is satirical or not.
I like the message and the way it's been conveyed in this photo. I especially like how you've emphasized Lincoln's gaze with the shadow lines that lead right to the standing soldier. Very effective. Good job.
so true. great lighting, composition and set up. your use of toy soldiers really illustrates to me the way the lives of people are treated in the name of the almighty dollar
Unfortunately true. Good choice of b&w - illustrating the starkness of war and money. I especially like the 'prison bars' shadows at the top - really pushing your message home. For a final, wonderful, touch, you've got one of the US's founding fathers looking down on the mess he's created. Powerful stuff. So, in terms of meaning, I think that you've done a splendid job here. Visually? Not bad. 8
