Shot through glass, as much as possible at Tabletop level, in the Miniature Museum with  BeeCee as shooting partner. There are incredibly complex scenes from various times in history all throughout the museum, and they were hell to shoot as we'd get glare/reflections from the glass, until we realized only those scenes that were well-lit would photograph best.

Can't take credit for the lighting, but the sombreness of the scene,the tanks, and location of the Nazi flag - and no living people elsewhere in sight - drove home the brutality of that age.

| I love the lighting and focus in this. It's almost like a real scene. Can't wait to see if this is a personal display or at a museum. |

| Real good picture but in a table shot challenge I'd like to see the table and not presume a table. |

| Model set piece imagery is always difficult to evaluate because there is so much to look at. In this case, it might have been a better idea to include the whole image as sharp as possible to increase the sense of depth and dimension to the image - the DOF technigue used here leaves the image rather flat and undetailed which seems opposite of the modeling image genre which would be to reproduce, as accurately as possible, a moment in time. A longer look would have been more appropriate to gain maximum impact from a dramatic and interesting scene. |

| Incredible detail in this model (?). Wonderful lighting. Perhaps less back lighting on the flag so that the symbol is clearer. |

absolutely fantastic.
if voters do not punish you for not keeping the camera at the street/surface level, this could place high. |
