Here's some photos from a figure giveaway contest I entered last year. I didn't win but I really enjoyed just participating.
I kept it pretty simple.
I wanted to focus on the German. He managed to get enough courage up to surrender, but now will he help the enemy by giving away German positions?

They who surrender to a grasshopper may fear,
but undeniably believe what they cannot hear :
hey i'm not afraid. wake up ! you are poisoning my world !...
happened (also) to me 5 years ago when one lonely grasshopper kicked my nose and pulled my staring focus out, after which he kept staring at me for almost 2 minutes.
Life, it's only a matter of time... not only for you but also for others here now and still to come.
Not only conquer but acknowledge surrender makes not only yours, but also their lives won.

Some people just need to give up!
Berkhamsted Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle which was built during the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century to control a key route between London and the Midlands.
Robert of Mortain, William the Conqueror's half brother, was probably responsible for the construction and became the subsequent owner of the fortification. A motte and bailey design, the castle was surrounded by extensive protective earthworks and a deer park for hunting.
Subsequent kings granted the castle to their chancellors and it was substantially extended in the mid-12th century, probably by Thomas Becket.
The castle was besieged in 1216 during the civil war between King John and rebel barons, backed by France.
It was successfully taken after Prince Louis, the future Louis VIII, attacked it with siege engines for twenty days, leading the garrison to surrender. Reclaimed by royal forces the subsequent year, it was passed to Richard the Earl of Cornwall, beginning a long associate with the earldom and the later duchy. Richard redeveloped the castle as a palatial residence and the centre of his administration of the Earldom of Cornwall.
Edward III further developed the castle in the 14th century and gave it to his son, Edward, the Black Prince, who extended the hunting grounds. It was used to hold royal prisoners, including John II of France and rival claimants to the English throne.
In the late-15th century, Berkhamsted Castle became increasingly unfashionable and was left to fall into decline. By the middle of the 16th century it was described as being in ruins and was unsuitable for royal use. Stone was taken from the castle to build neighbouring houses and parts of the town. The castle narrowly escaped destruction during the construction of the London and Birmingham Railway in the 1830s, becoming the first building in Britain to receive statutory protection from Parliament. In 1930 it passed from the Duchy of Cornwall to the control of the state and in the 21st century is run as a tourist attraction by English Heritage.

I liked to imagine what the Colonial Marines would get up to when not squashing bugs.
Here, they're taking a rebel prisoner.

It was agreed that if my 4-H Cloverbuds could reach a goal set for them this year they could throw a pie in my face at our last meeting. They surpassed the goal 5 times over. I was in for it! Thankfully, I only agreed to one pie. It was actually pretty fun and they practically licked me clean.
On A beautiful day I took some toy knights left over from a party out to the woods to play with focal points. The warriors fought over a hunk of rock.
Sweet Surrender – Photo Series
Model: Racheeda2000
Location: Sweet Surrender
Set within a dreamlike coastal landscape, Sweet Surrender unfolds as a visual journey between serenity, intimacy, and quiet strength. The location blends natural elements—rock formations, flowing water, lush greenery, and open sea views—into a poetic environment that feels both secluded and timeless.
Racheeda2000 moves through the scenery with effortless elegance, her presence calm yet expressive. Whether reclining on sunlit wooden decks, resting near gentle campfires inside coastal caves, or standing poised against vast ocean horizons, she becomes an organic part of the environment rather than a subject placed within it.
Soft natural lighting, combined with carefully chosen perspectives, highlights subtle emotions: contemplation, confidence, and surrender to the moment. The contrast between open landscapes and intimate spaces creates a cinematic rhythm—wide shots emphasize freedom and scale, while close-ups draw attention to refined details, facial expressions, and posture.
Sweet Surrender is not just a location, but a mood: a quiet escape where time slows, nature embraces the subject, and beauty reveals itself through stillness and balance.
