I too thought of scale but in relationship to size.

The setup...

Camera was on the ground just in front of the inflatable floatation device. And if you can believe it, I used no photoshop. I did crop out the umbrella and used lightroom to eliminate some dust spots in the sky and increase the richness.

Thanks for looking. Would be interested in your thoughts. :thumb

    That's a crack up and a good idea. deal.gif Might have to give it a try... but I fear I have not the glass for this.

    Me too, but in a different way (not sure if I'll have time to execute.)

    Anyhow that's an excellent image. Well done.

    Nice idea Shatch.

    I had a similar idea but in my case, it involves my re-scaled daughter in a shot with a dog.

    I'm a couple of Countries away from home until after the end of this challenge so I have to go for something else, but I think you are on a winning idea with this one and I always admire the way you stretch both your skill and creativity in the challenges (and previously the LPS).

    Regards,

    Peter

    Excellent shot - but I fear that the shot is toooo good so that the scale is not obvious (well it wasn't to me until I saw the setup shot) as the toy carriage really looked that size. Does that make sense headscratch.gif

    I agree with Peter.

    At first glance it looked like your daughter was dressed up as Cinderella. The scale didn't become apparent until you showed us the setup shot. ne_nau.gif

    Nice photo, though.

    This scale idea is worth pursuing. thumb.gif

    Thank you everyone for taking time to comment. I really appreciate it!

    What if I changed the name to be "Point of View & 5 Feet Apart"?
