Enjoy!

Those photos look great
It is amazing what one can do with the right computer software!
However, for those of us without a photoshop program, I've had much success using a paper background, with a landscape picture printed on it. When the photo is angled right and taken in either black-and-white or color (with the correct lighting), it is hard to tell the background picture apart from the rest of the diorama. The technique works best for up-close dios, however.

Those photo's look great! You nailed the "depth" with the foreground, subject and background. It really pulls you in.
You need to do a tutorial too tman..
Oh, and the software is free. Read the how to.
