Great pictures! If your camera has the function, you should try taking them in black & white or sepia to add some more realism to the picture. I have done that with many of my diorama photos (see website) and it really hides the fact that the figures are toys and the backgrounds fake. Did you ever enter the 21c USMC photo contest that was held over a year ago, cause you could have won with photos and dios like that! You have some top-notch work and I look forward to future pictures & creations.

AMEN T-man!

Red,
Your stuff is amazing!

What kind of camera are you using?
We have many talented individuals doing dios, but some of their cameras just don't portray their work well.

RED, I love the dios with the dead soldiers. You really have a genius for capturing the escence and the feel of the moment. The dirt in the sand, the poses, the faces, the broken wood... Great talent Sir, and my hat goes off to you.

Thank you for sharing.

RED, you on a major roll!! :D

The whole dio looks great but I especially like the subtle effects like the layer of brown debris that covers the sand. That and the veggies..
