Is this one ancestor superimposed over another? If so, it is so well done I really can't tell. Was the underlaying photo originally beardless? What did you use for the overlay? How do you expect people to steal your ideas without giving more details :)
Edit:
Thanks for the clarification, Karen. This is great, I'm sure somebody will copy your idea for submission into a future challenge.

Very creative - both, your technique, and the pose the photographer used for your ancestor's photo.

That's really neat, you're getting fancy with the ZP! I wonder if this technique would be legal in a challenge? I know double exposures in the camera are no longer allowed, but, technically, isn't this a single exposure? I'm thinking of a technique to use for the "Not Quite Right" challenge and I could steal borrow this idea if it is legal.
I do see the mug. Not sure I would have if you hadn't mentioned it.

Ha, the clumps of grass have become needles on the shadow pine tree. It's not obvious at first because there are actually two photos here. The top photo has all the glitter while the bottom photo has the substance. Could be symbolic of DPC voting trends.

Panhandle Pinhole

Comment:
You realize, of course, there isn't a digital photo that will match your Oatmeal box. But this is very good, and has a lot of resolution for a pinhole.
Now... get back in the darkroom.

Delivery

Comment:
I think the camera movement adds a great deal of interest to this. Muting the unimportant details (like the writing on the truck) and adding motion to the boxes and delivery guy are two interesting side effects of the camera movement. This reminds me of time-lapse photography.

Spring is in the air

I really like how this Topaz filter selectively 'pointillizes' the detail.

If you add shadows to a smooth object is it still a smooth object? At what point/scale does a smooth object with shading acquire "texture" and does it change with blurred vision?
This photo is asking for the viewer's definition of "texture" and shouldn't be dismissed so easily. Great job.
