Photographer’s Notes This is a photo of my wife’s Three Wise Men Figurines. I think it’s a good illustration of the isolation technique but photos of toys and figures rarely score well. Unless voters go soft on seasonal images, this will be lucky to score 5.5.

I find the shot a little dark, not just in ecposure but all of the colours are dark. I would have liked to have seen at least the subject a bit lighter and more colourful. Good shot but.
