I saw the pic below, and found it a very good reference for some work that I did, exploring depth of field (DOF). The beauty of experimenting with DOF and using toys to do this is that they stay still for you, and let you arrange them in various poses, positions and levels to allow you to experiment wholeheartedly!
I like this one as it has three levels: the background figures are out of focus, as too is the foreground part of the figure that captures the weapon. The spikes on the figure’s back (as well as the icons at its feet) appears to be what has caught the photographer’s attention and the primary focus for the shot.
This is just my take on it.
