 Had to dust off some of my childhood collectibles for this Challenge. This was a lot of fun since it isn't very often that I get to play with toys now days;) For setup i used a brown towel, lichen, and models with a colored background.

8 Second exposure with a flashlight from above and shop lamp lighting the background.

Feels like I just stepped back in time. I love the sepia feel... old and tired landscape. One of my favorites!

Nice scene, good browns on show here. Could stand to be a little crisper perhaps.

Not quite sure this is what they had in mind... Lighting makes the scene looks flat as well...

I like your old-style treatment here... but ulimately, haven't you just taken a photo of a toy?

I like your composition. I wonder how this would look in black in white to give it an even greater old time feel.

very good set and nice sepia-ish tone to the shot, like that everything's in proportion. 7

the overall sepia tones really lend themselves to the 'old time' feel of this image ... nice job

Lovely set up and I like how used sepia tones to give an olden look. I just think composition wise could be improved just by following the rule of thirds a bit more. I don't penalise shots that I like tho so 9
