Re: Bugs I found in my Toolbox - Ant
Not wanting to throw another spanner in the works but have you played around with drop shadows at all?
I am enjoying them. You are clearly a great advocate for SOOC photography...

I have looked at them and am certainly considering using them in my final version of these images. Right now I am concentrating on producing around 18 images and I will either turn them into a children's book (possibly a Japanese / English one co-authored with my grandson) or a pair of typologies. Possibly both.
My grandson is almost 6 and is fascinated by bugs. He and I have been collaborating on the images. Here is a test of a page of the book. The words are mostly his.
He has been telling me which bugs to produce and will then tell me what he likes about them and what is not working for him. I am now on my third version of a rhinoceros beetle and I think the latest version finally meets his approval.

I think they would make a great children's book. My mother reviewed children's books and one of the things she had to do was recommend the age group they were suitable for. From what I see, your concept would appeal across a number of age groups and be especially popular with boys. You could even have a small section at the back showing what the tools are really used for. Originally Posted by Manfred M
