The brief:
I photographed this interior of a model railway carriage some time ago, and was struck then by how it would make a great theatrical set. Murder on the Orient Express springs to mind, obviously, but what other dramas could be played out against this background?
There's also the problem that the nearmost seats are slightly out of focus. How might we deal with that? Is there a simple solution?
Those of you with more time on your hands might like to consider adding lighting, a backdrop, perhaps even an audience...

Nothing to do with errant bankers - this one's a topiary issue. I photographed this hedge in a London park back in October. Fairly neatly maintained, although it could do with a bit of a trim. But, given the myriad forms a hedge can be carved into, isn't this dome shape a little repetitive and uninspired? Can you do better?
You can place your creations on the lawn in front, if you like, or adapt the existing hedge. The trick here is in the shading!

Here's a concept car I passed in London's Science Museum recently - it's one of those what-if constructions the car industry used to enjoy dreaming up, before they all ran out of cash.
It looks to me, from the position of the seat, as if the wheels need to rotate 90 degrees when this thing is in motion, in order to travel forwards and backwards rather than side to side. Is this too tricky a task to complete in Photoshop? And what sort of location might the manufacturer choose to set off their new baby?

I photographed this dodo on a museum visit back in December. Not the best of shots - it was behind glass, and you can see the reflection of some lights over its head.
Can you bring this extinct creature back to life, and perhaps suggest some genetic modification that would prevent it facing the same fate again?
