Cute! Love the rim reflections in the water as well. You shoulda given the little car a puddle of it's own so you could ger reflections from there too.

nice picture, I do think that the puddle draws attention away from the two cars.

the real Nissan should be in focus as well.

I think the puddle unfortunately throws the effect off a little here. Without the 'double take' and mini car in there, the puddle works well. Here it kind of separated the two cars and the extra set of wheels is distracting. 6 from me.

engines pumping and thumping in time, the green light flashes, the flags go up, churning and burning the reach for the cup. Cake - nobody knows that song - too cool! It's not the greatest photo: too much blue in the rims of the big car. I think some burning might have also helped in the body. I like frames, I almost always think they improve the overall image. But, you've got a great observation here and too funny! There is really nice focus on the toy car and nice dof. I hope it does well for you!

Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup...... :D

Gotta love Cake! Very,very cute idea. seems cropped a bit tight but thier opposing positions work well. Good Luck.

I thought about trying something similar, but decided against as a) I wasn't sure I could find the equivalent toy, b) wasn't sure whether I could a good enough angle on the toy, and a wide enough depth of field.

I think you've pulled it off pretty well, I'd preferred to have seen something more from the toy's perspective, with it taking up as much space on the final capture as the real car...
