Karen, this wouldn't be legal anywhere at DPC, except here. Although I stood in one spot to take all the photos, I completely rearranged their relative positions in PS. The castle, for example, was originally behind me when facing the lake. This technique is probably closer to painting than photography.

Ah, I see - I thought when you said you took it in the same spot, you had used the same framing for each shot - that the changes we see in the resulting combination is due to time passage, like movement of clouds, etc.

A marvelous creation anyway. :)

Oh, wow. That raises the bar for pinhole shots!

I wonder if this toes the line with regards to the Advanced editing rules for 1-10 exposures? It seems like it would...the only thing that maybe would be a problem would be the "move or change a feature between frames" aspect, where with long pinhole exposures something major might change over the course of taking the exposures - unless the not-allowable move would be only a move that the photographer instigated (for instance, if the boat floated to a different area of the shot on its own that would be ok, as opposed to you deliberately moving it to another area?) I seem to remember some thread about a multiple-exposure DQ concerning a moving swan in the past... Huh. Lots of possibilities here, with this technique.

Amazing, everything about this image! I love the other-worldliness feel, so dreamy!

Yes, it is. I need to get out more often :) Thanks.

I think this is great and have looked at it a number of times know. The angles and tones, and the 'focus' on the hands. I don't know if I would prefer more detail on the head or not? Doesn't matter though, this is good.

I like how you can easily recognize every element, even though everything is of similar shades of brown. And of course, the farmer lacking his head adds that extra touch of the macabre (for some reason it puts me in mind of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and the King of the Moon character). This is through your greenhouse plastic, is it?

Headless and happy, eh? But the hands stayed so still! Love the browns.
