Future Engineer

After I photographed "The Artist" I made a date to photograph her brother the "Future Engineer".  He spends long hours with his huge collection of Legos so it seemed natural that we would include them in his photos. 
This picture was taken in a living space with an aperture setting at 4.7.  I let the camera do the rest of the thinking.  When the photo was taken I knew nothing of using masks in Photoshop but thanks to the teachings of Rita at the CoffeShop, I was able to present the photo in this way.  She has a great tutorial and free masks on her site.  The background is from ShadowHouse Creations.
