 Thank you for all the nice and interesting comments :)

I'm quite surprised no one thought there could be a sort of link between this image and this older one I had shot for the Lego challenge:

I used two LED lights from the left and from the bottom, plus a neon lamp from above for the general lighting.

kasaba thank you so much for your deep analysis, much appreciated. All the images were quite crisp, but maybe looking at so small images can give this impression.

I changed the background for the different images to convey the idea of an adventure in search of that ribbon :)

I like your sense of humor :-) and I like the way you presented the story. For me the top 2 and bottom 2 images don't seem to belong together because of the different background. The 3rd image with the green dinosaur still links to image 2 with the green background. But I feel you should have used a coloured bg for image 4 to tie things together better. I also think, since the blue ribbon was the point of the whole story, your lighting should have been on the ribbon. It seems to highlight an area to the left for no apparent reason. To remain with the 4th image, bacuse of your change of perspective, the toys actually look smaller than in the other photos, which to me again makes the 4th picture just not part of the others. I tried to zoom in on my monitor, perhaps that was the problem, but to me it looked like the toys are not 100% in focus. I think for this type of photograph they should be crisper. Your lighting in image 3 is very dramatic, I like. I also like the simple, crisp framing of the 4 images. that worked really well.

HAHA the first pic looks like the Abbey road cover. I really like your lighting in this. How do you achieve the lighting you have in the 4th image?

This made me chuckle, very amusing. Nice colours, I like the overall idea. 8.
