there was more photos to this story but I think this is enough for you to get my drift. I am so glad I found toy photography I know its not in everybody's taste but to me its fun and you still have to try and tell a story and trying to make the toys as close to life as possible is challenge in itself. But like Ian said at least I don't have to say smile and I don't have to repeat myself or find my patients when my toys are posing but I do love this.

great concept Sandy.

The edit will show you what i also saw in the photo.

Ian I am not sure what you telling me apart from the telly and crap in the background are you saying this should have could have been cropped out ? If so I thought about it but was not sure all the help and advice is good for me to learn

[Lost]

to me sandy it spoilt a good photo which has gone beyond the every-house xmas snaps

"cropping out" is an after thought imo. maybe a lesson in look before you click. Look to the sides; look to the front; look to the background and remove anything that is not part of the photo idea

[Nikkie]
