For some reason I'd like these twins to appear more than twice. Add more and make a living Muybridge. Technically, this is the best of the bunch.

Like others have said, this is my favorite of the set. From her bangs to her her outfit, what a unique look this young lady has. Your digital cloning, how you merged the images, shows a few of her many sides. Terrific!

Reading your description, combining two or more exposures of the same person, I began thinking of the technical difficulties. Cut and pasting hair must be the hardest part of this exercise. You managed this very well but a scrutinizing eye will notice some minor issues. I'm nitpicking but adding a little grain might be a work around.

pretty confusing set once the notion of twins and triplets is shared.
one is never sure where the act of duplication occurred: in the physical world (as in twins) or in the digital one (as in photoshop).
thank you for that sense of confusion.

this along with the dancing twins are my favs of this collection ..
the light in this one is beautiful .. and the way the girl on the right is so emphasized by the light .. really makes her stand out and be the first thing i see .. and the first focus of my attention .. then my eyes wander to her twin sitting there with her phone .. i really like your black and white editing .. :)

This photo is my favorite but i love the whole collection and the concept.

something transgressive about it. that is a term of endearment overused in the poetry community, but I think it applies in this case.

This one is like a slow New Wave French movie. The next one is really subtle, i.e., the photoshop work is very convincing. The next two, the photoshop work is very unconvincing, which is the point.

My favorite of the set. His slicked down gray hair and her hand, with dangling jewelry, seem made for each other.

I enjoyed your tango series. What do you think of cropping them a little tighter? I found the small details in their hair, hands, and jewelry most interesting.

Although the point of a collection is not to pick out favourites but to appreciate the whole (and I do) this shot is, nevertheless, my favourite. I love the man's expression as he shuts out the world and enjoys his partner, the dance and, no doubt, the music. It is a beautiful composition, too, with that horizontal, back-to-front S formed by the flow of the arms.

this one to me doesnt shout passion or connection .. they actually look a bit awkward ..
all the other photos you have captured in this series show something unique and special of the tango ..
thats the thing with a still photo ... ppl say the camera never lies .. but it does consistently .. catching moments that if caught on video would be natural and flowing .. still pics show a fleeting moment without that flow .. ppl talking .. their faces unnatural and distorted ..
however .. i have looked at this again after writing all the above .. and their heads together make this quite special .. and their arms showing promise .. the promise of an embrace ..
i love how photos can exercise my brain . lol .. :)
