 This is a picture of a picture, the original was not done with photoshop I don't even own photoshop, it was done the natural way, in a dark room. I took the picture at a slight angle to add a distorted effect.

COMPOSITION -CONTENT Composition fairly good gives the viewer the feeling of a Giant, content nice and clean not overly cluttered, although the size restriction gives a rather squashed distortion to this maybe a different crop without seeing the original Iam not sure!
BACKGROUND Not overly obvious but the sky is a bit washed out.CAMERA WORK -TECHNICAL - Rather to dark a lot of detail is lost in the shadows would have benefitted by some fill in flash might have been better in colour.
DIGITAL PROCESSING - TECHNICAL It appears to have been slightly oversharpened and could have benefitted from a curves adjustment to brighten it.
My opinion
I like the idea and feel if possible it should be reshot trying to get a better contrast between the light and shadows. I like the facial expression and the humour in this shot!

Not enough contrast for me, but good job.

good use of sense of scale..looks like the giant is really pushing to hold up the building.

Very funny and best in class, but more than a tad bit dark. I love the expression!

I don't know how this was done, so I don't know if you could've pulled it off with a little more exposure. It's a good illusion actually. It's just so darn dark. I would've tried to make it a bit brighter, or even quite a bit brighter. But that's just me. - Inspzil
