Nice use of a background image and intermediate scenery pieces to create an authentic sense of depth to the image. That's real "cowboy country" right there!
I still have a couple of Tonka vehicles from my childhood that make the occasional appearance in my toy and action figure photos:

Now that's proper patina there, Dave!!!
My son inherited some nice Tonka vehicles from my brother-in-law when he was young. Too bad there haven't been any more kids in the family and I've been forced to keep them...
