Very nice picture, a bit too fuzzy to see the paintjob clearly but it looks well painted.

The car is very nice too though I'm not too fond of the lowered chassis a lot of those hot wheels seem to have.

cool!
where's the motorbiker?  ;)

btw, I see Your intention here to get the backdrop not too sharp
I think You might be setting the miniatures too close to the backdrop.

maybe You just try out to leave at least a hand distance and then zoom in on the frame (if Your camera allows in Macro) so You are inside the borders of the backdrop?
then You get sharp figures and blurry background, air perspective so to say  :)

You may want to try a Photoshop background as an alternative. I can post a couple of examples if anyone is interested either on this thread or somewhere else.

Great photos and cracking minis!

Things look pretty grim in the Lake District of the future! Is that Skiddaw in the background?

I recognize the male, but who is the female mini?  Looks familiar, can't quite place her.

Lovely work, very evocative.

wow

with You I'd like to make a miniature movie...

actually my cousin who is a programmer is nagging me about CG animation and I gently "pushed" him to the idea of animating miniatures....
In the style of the animated "army men" clips You can find on Youtube, but better...
