 This probably will not do well because whenever I do photos of toys (beanie babies, matchbox cars, santa) they never score as high as I hope they would. But I love personifying things like this. And I have been wanting to do a picture like this since the Toys Challenge.

These are the pieces from my kid's Clue game. I don't remember what they looked like when I first had the game, but I'm guessing they did not look like people back then lol. And I know they did not look like this! So anyway, it's in for fun. Enjoy!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to vote in this challenge; surely this would have received a high score from me. As others have said, great colors and lighting. Though Colonel Mustard looks a bit oversized...

In my day, if I remember right, the game pieces were the standard colored tokens. It was only the murder instruments that were unique (candlestick, rope, etc.).

I loved this! The lighting and DOF are excellent - what a shame it didn't score higher. I gave it a 7 because of the imaginative quirkiness.

Personally, I think it was the butler in the patry. Very nice lighting and DOF.

One of the better ones this challenge. Well done! Where did you get those cool clue pieces???

This is very good. A little more DOF would have been nice. A seven for you.

I'm not sure why, but there's something about your image that makes me smile. Even though there just plastic game pieces, it's a well composed and colorful shot. Good luck in the challenge. 8

Great colour and contrast with the black background. Lighting and composition are also very good.

Well done!

Were these from a very old set, or a very new one? I've never seen figurines for the Clue game before...I like the shallow DOF here
