 I love the minion poppets and for the challenge I have created a little home made studio outside and I have used the minion poppets to represent the actual temperature here....-25 Celsius with the wind factor...-35 Celsius

This is my first trial using the 'focus stacking'

Hope you will appreciate the composition

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hah, love the minions and their teeny little scarves and the snow atop their heads and goggles. Looks like the focus stacking experiment worked well!

The one thing you may want to do next time, in the outdoor studio especially, is remember that the light source (here, the sun) moves. Here it is up and behind the left minion and though it helps light the right minion's face (do they have faces?) the left one is in a relative amount of shadow. Just turning them around and shooting with the sun at your back may have helped, though you would then want to watch out for harsh shadows and too much glare. There are a few hot areas on the snow on the minions and the background snow; shooting at 1/400 or 1/500 should help.

hope this helps

Susan
