Ah yes!! Beautiful picture! Wonderful photo! The shot is SO alive it almost looks like a photo of perfect scale model cars.
(Usually we say the opposite but this shot is to-die-for-great!)

@geoff-jowett It's a good diorama; at first glance, it fools everyone. There's no substitute for natural light, period!
I wish I could provide additional info., but I have nothing.... 😔 😔 😔 It's simply a pic I saw on FB and thought it worthy of sharing. I'm glad so many seem to like it. 😎 😎 😎

@100ford2003 Thanks Steve - I'm not sure about that. I've taken thousands of pics, but ONLY a few are "close" to being perceived as "real."

Very nice. It looks like some of Anthony Schmidt's work.

- That is a great photo. The model cars look real as does the building. The homes in the back ground add to the effect too.

My thought too was the late Michael Paul Smith and his 1/24 masterpiece photos. I have his book around here somewhere, I'll dig it out over the Christmas break.
