Amazing!

How the hell did you do it?
Posted 23 months ago. ( permalink )

thescatteredimage says:

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments ... seriously appreciated.

Getting this printed at 1.1m on the long side and framed ... can't wait to see it ...

@jldt706 ... take heaps of shots of a scene and layer them one on top of each other in Photoshop ... takes some time ... easy enough to do, but requires a fair amount of planning before and during shooting.

I just noticed the box brownie

I giggled.

At 1.1m it will look amazing(er)!!

whidbychick says:

It's great! I like it because it seems to show conflict of emotions. The wife wants to engage her husband at the other end of the couch, but still she looks away maybe because she has given up.

Maybe that was not what you were going for, but that's how I read it.

Well done and very cool!
