Did this one get a DQ?
I realize that I probably understand the letter of the rules, but I am totally mistaken about the reasons behind them.
This a creative use of existing imagery and it tries in no way to fool the viewer into anything.
What about photographing passers-by in front of street art, street advertising and so on? Why should this image seen differently rules-wise?
A clever, well developed concept.

I like your sense of humor :-) and I like the way you presented the story. For me the top 2 and bottom 2 images don't seem to belong together because of the different background. The 3rd image with the green dinosaur still links to image 2 with the green background. But I feel you should have used a coloured bg for image 4 to tie things together better. I also think, since the blue ribbon was the point of the whole story, your lighting should have been on the ribbon. It seems to highlight an area to the left for no apparent reason. To remain with the 4th image, bacuse of your change of perspective, the toys actually look smaller than in the other photos, which to me again makes the 4th picture just not part of the others. I tried to zoom in on my monitor, perhaps that was the problem, but to me it looked like the toys are not 100% in focus. I think for this type of photograph they should be crisper. Your lighting in image 3 is very dramatic, I like. I also like the simple, crisp framing of the 4 images. that worked really well.

I really like the blurred background. The colors make me smile. And the forklift does look like a toy.
