This image probably looks contrived or setup. It's not. ;^) I had an entirely different idea in mind for this challenge (either Lincoln logs or various nuts & bolts). My youngest wanted to play Lego and dumped the entire bin (big!) on the den floor. This bin has a bit of everything in it. I saw this mess and thought it might be interesting - went off to grab my camera. After setting up I noticed this car in the pile, THEN I noticed it was a Kodak car...too perfect. I didn't have to rearrange anything and the light from a large picture window was providing ample illumination.

Hope it goes over well. Even if it doesn't I may make a print to put in my son's bedroom. ;^)

too many things that no one cares about - not even a child wants to play with these toys.
