I just realized that this was your shot, Giles! I absolutely loved it, gave it a 10 in voting and am so happy to see that you ribboned with it. Great feeling, your first ribbon and it's a nice shiny blue. Huge congrats! :-)

The 'fake look' via topaz making toys look like real life vehicles works well. And the remnant shallow DOF because of the close range to subject gives it a 'tilt-shift' effect thrown in also.

I'll bet it's based on a real story that actually took place on a construction site?

The 'cartoon effect' was probably the only direction to go in from images of toys. In the CGI film Ice Age 1, to portray the mammoth's 'flash-back' memory, they had to animate crude cave wall paintings. I think you'd done a similar thing here.
