Nice. I was thinking of doing something similar.

Great set-up and capture. Love how the replica says PARIS, as if someone would not know. Sorry, it's late and I just found that funny. Good luck!

Good setup to show them at almost the same size in the frame. I think if there was no writing on the other sides of the miniature, I would have showed that instead to keep it more similar. Nicely done.

I really thought this was a good photo. It is a good photo, and maybe the best "double take" photo in the bunch. I hope that it does well. Such a simple idea that is executed almost perfectly. I like to offer criticism with every photo, but it is hard with this. hmmmm.....I think the miniature tower is a little out of level..... haha, that's it. Good job..

Back to comment. This shot is so much fun! I love that you got just the right distance that your "Eiffels" are the same size. Nice focus. Great idea. Gave this an 8 earlier this week.

Great shot and perfect subject for this challenge ... I tried to do something similar with the Transamerica Pyramid building in San Francisco for this challenge, so I know its more difficult than it looks. Wish there was somewhere to set the model to avoid having the hand in the image, but still a cool idea and shot.

Woah something very original in terms of this challenge and - for me - it works magnificently. Love the concept and execution and DOF is perfect for the shot

Original take on the challenge...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great idea.... Would be better with smaller aperture to get the real one in stronger focus and also get it straighter (picky I know). I would like to see the bottom of the thumb also in frame.
