Hi Low,
Sorry for the rating, but the snow is so widely overexposed I'm having to squint at this picture! You have a very contrasty image to work with here, but there are ways around it. Try bracketing your exposures, or at least taking one shot to expose the foliage and the other one to expose the snow, and then combine them in photoshop. Works out quite well. I'm sure Kiva has some hints on that.

Thank you very much rga! Just don't do photoshop and prefer not to.

Comment from JACIRO
This is a nice masterpiece, full of detail and mastercraft. You are lucky to know someone that can make such beautiful pieces. Your shot is very good. I would like to put the tractor closer to the lens in order to give more depth but is a very nice shot, as everey shot you make.

Your take on this makes it look real! It for sure looks like outdoor lighting and the layout is excellent. Visually so effectively cropped and presented.

What a sweet photo. Almost looks like little tiny miniatures which really adds to the Toyland theme! Beautiful colors and depth. Really adorable toys too! I would like to come and play there too! Will they adopt me?

Comment from Bob Boynton
I wonder if this little house come with a cable modem. This is a fun shot. I would not call it your best but it does have meaning. It definitely gives one the sense of toyland.

Comment from Mokapu
I think I would like this better if there was not so much empty space with the trees, if the only too up 1/3 of the picture you would be able to see more of the snow and of the tractors.

Comment from Ramona12
Bright, crisp and clear shot. Nicely composed with lovely colors. The subjects are very interesting too. Are they miniatures? The dark green trees add a real nice contrast here.

This was made for their great grandkids to play 'farm', as they call it. A really neat place of the property! Thank you very much Ramona!

As to your note Low, seems to be a miniature of a landscape scene. The composition is great, lighting ? All the props go well together. A great gift for the kids. Nice job!!!
