Thanks to all for your comments, especially re lighting. It was a problem, as bounce flash or additional lighting revealed the distracting details of the room in the background. For more recent challenges, I've pulled a screen out of storage for a better backdrop.

Really cute idea, but the lighting needs work. This looks like you just used a flash. Maybe available light would have been better.

a little more light towards the back would have helped. love the idea of the live bunny, though...

Fall off from the flash has left the back figures in the dark. The wooden floor is an uninteresting colour and doesn't help the subject.

I like the feel that the little figures go on forever making it seem like there are tons of them. Cute Gulliver too!

Very cute. It just gets too dark as the light falls off. A second light would have improved this a great deal. IMHO.

5 - Mainly for your efforts and the potential. Criticism; the lighting really is the main thing. Possibly a sharper angle/perspective may have made this better in my opinion. It's a good idea, and while I am sure you had to have patience and couldn't 'experiment' too much, I just think there could have been some interesting 'potential' shots given your 'subjects'. Perhaps a more 'apt' base, or 'different'; grass, fur, not sure, just something 'different'.

Nice idea :)

very, very clever idea. You have my congratulations for your success with an animal in a photo. :) However, I would like it better if the horizon weren't tilted, and if you could have got in just a LEETLE bit tighter. I reiterate, though: I really like the thought that went into this.

This would be better set on a grassy/outdoors background in my opinion, but your collection is extensive and your execution isn't bad so it redeems quite a bit.
