The wooden guys in all these challenge pics acutally take on a personality to me. I really expect the one on the right to jump out and say boo. Great picture.

I see what you are going for here, the element of surprise is on the wood many while the wood woman comes along without a care in the world. And while this may work in real life, in wood life the set up is there but knowing that the execution of the prank will never truly be pulled off hurts the shot to me. The shot also seems a bit dark and there are light flares on the dolls themselves.

Perhaps if you could get someone to help you pull this on someone else and you could shot it from set up to the end result? A 5

Sinister lighting, nice set up to give real expressions to these figures. I like the texture and detail that we see even in th box (Tho' I wish the box where just plain black so as not to distract from the figures) The bit of white band showing behind the "woman's" feet is distracting too. But obviously a lot of work and thought on your part, nicely done. 8

lol i love these little wooden robaxacet guys! :D
This is a great composition!! Lighting looks GREAT, focus Excellent!
I have no suggestions really, just that I think it would be interesting to see this shot with the walking guy out of focus a little.

I am getting a little tired of these manequins appearing in so many photos ..... but here it really works well and is a great imaginative use of them. Great shot and the lighting is excellent.

You have done a fine job bringing Life to the dolls. Your lighting works well for me and the overall balance is good. 7

Honestly, I never get sick of these Manikin shots, when they are well done. The idea here is fabulous, the focus is spot on (as I think it has to be for the good manikin shots), and the reflection of their legs on the ground is a detail that cannot go unnoticed. This shot is a 10 from me.
