Not sure how this fits the definition of "in such a way that it conveys to the viewer that the subject of your photo is a tinier version of something that is normally larger" but I love it anyway. Great subject. He shows such character.
The match to the challenge isn't that strong, as ther eis no real scale reference, but this is a really cool little figureine, and I love the way you've worked the light. The exprssion is wonderful, Well done.
This shot is so pretty and happy. I really like the soft muted tones of the picture and the composition is superb. The shadow behind really adds to the photo. Just looks like he's so happy to be just sittin in the sun. Nice Nice Nice....
The muted colours of the gnome work well against the faded wood. The composition, with diagonal coming up ffrom same corner that is "weighted" by gnome is great, especially with verticals from fence. Like the shallow DOF. 9
This is an unusual and beautiful photograph. First, the maker of this figurine should be recognized - absolutely captivating expression! I really like the composition of this photo. The focus and lighting is perfect. This is a top 10 photo in my opinion!
