I thought that plastic army men fighting to the death amidst fire and brimstone was a good subject for "conflict." It portrays the conflict between two opposing sides in a dramatic yet humorous way that almost all of us (at least the guys) can relate to: Fire + Plastic Army Men = Fun. It's just a known fact of male culture.

I thought about this too, the conflict of war but decided not too. A good idea but the set up is a bit distracting in the end. The DOF is wonderful, the clarity of the one soldier but the background is very distracting and keeps drawing me away from the main subjects of the shot. A 6
Nice idea. maybe they could have fight each other but a conflict anyway. Too much shallow depth of field for my taste, your main subject is not completely in focus. (6)
If only the all the little guys were in focus... the suitably blurry firey background is a brilliant touch and completely adds to the quality of the picture. Composition is also great - can't be faulted. I can't help but feel the third guy at the rear could probably a bit supefluous. Actually, I'm coming round to liking the out-of-focus soldiers... Oh, I don't know. 9.
Excellent.... I really enjoy your photo, plenty of creativity, conveys the theme of the challenge, and nice dof, perhaps more would have helped. otherwise, Good job!
nice idea - but the arrangement is poor. the lighting is worse, but then the DOF is pretty bad too. Not a pic i want to look at - initial impression is not good on that level.
