Make it yours

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A macro photograph of tiny painted model railway figures, about one centimetre tall, working on a head of broccoli as though it were a forest. Two figures in hard hats carry a ladder, another saws a stem, sawdust scattered on the surface below. Extreme close focus with a very shallow plane of sharpness, natural window light, plain neutral background, dust and texture visible on the vegetable. The scale is never explained.

Tips

1Give the figures a specific job. Purposeless figures look like clutter.
2A very shallow plane of focus is what makes the everyday object read as a landscape.
3Add debris the work would create: sawdust, crumbs, spilled liquid.
