Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

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.
