 okay - so it was a last minute entry. Took me about 5 minutes to sink this toy Hummer in snow and ice, with a photo of trees in the background.
Not much for processing:
Crop
Levels
Hue/Saturation adjustment
USM
Stroke

I don't expect this to get scored very high - but was a fun idea.

Couldn't really tell what it was. Might be able to tell what it was if it was focused better

At first glance I thought this was some kind of remote control box. Now upon second review I guess maybe it's a toy vehicle?

This is a miniature, right? Unfortunately, it feels like it -- actually, I had a bit of trouble figuring out what I was looking at at first, thinking it was some sort of strange box or case, maybe a couple feet long or so, then I figured out the vehicle-nature of it, but it went smaller rather than larger for me... Still, it's a nice shot, and the trees in the background (also fake, or just tight aperture on a close-up?) do help me understand the scale intention, if not feeling it directly. 7 from me.

I love the manipulation of scale here, these sort of plays with toys and interaction with reality always get me.

This looks like a toy model, but you had me there for a second. Nicely done!

I think that's a Walkie-Talkie or a power pack or possibly toy train. If work-related the Oops has a nice double meaning.
Technically, nice composition...Simplification due to subject clear, background blurred.

3 - Looks like good potential. Criticism; looks like this is a little blurry, or could be focus issues, hard to discern. I also can't tell if this is a little truck or train, so better focus and perhaps 'showing more' of your subject, may have made this better in my opinion. Also more 'context' of the 'oops' - ie; if it has 'gone off a cliff'/etc, then showing an edge there somewhere may have boosted this.
