 This one is real!
Well its not expert editing anyway :) its a photo I took and cut out and placed in the scene. A little cloning on the edges to neaten up the cut photo edges and a bit of burning to match the lighting better.
Other than that, crop, WB, sharpen, NR, topaz detail, add boarder.

to me this is a great concept, technically very good, and met the challenge so I really wish I understood why this was rated under a 6.

I've never been to Lego Land, so I don't know if there are life-sized legos there. Could be real under those circumstances, or could be shopped. You have me stumped.
