Please let me know what you think of this:



There is no post-processing on the images themselves - just a light drop shadow on the white backgound. I'm more interested in comments on how to construct a successful triptych.

Thanks,
Ara

Most triptych tell a story. You certainly got the suggestion of a story with your shot but I think that they are a little too similar without a definite ending. Moving into the frame, is in the frame, moving out of the frame for eg. For triptych like the one you have made it needs more of a narrative than 'standing - moved an inch - moved another inch'.

If you havent looked already, the multi-image composition challenge has some good examples of what you can do with triptych.

BTW - it's been ages since that challenge, I think we should have one again!

I agree with Moodville, but I wanted to add that I really liked the three photos! Each is stunning all by itself.

moodville - thanks! Yes, there isn't that much of a difference in the frames. I guess it's my memory of what went on. There were two cats in that area and they were playing pretty rough. The shots here were taken as a crouch began - then my buffer filled and I missed the spring, bounce, spin and recover (all of which seemed to happen in a single second) So, I guess the images trigger a "more complete" memory than is actually suggested.

boomer - thanks!

nice shot! Is it the same pic three times? Is there a way you can make each one different from the other? It may add some drama & added interest.
Good stuff

i really like the pics. maybe you could give them a little more interest by using a different quadtone or duotone on each one.

I'd like to see that... I think it's a great idea...

Or cropping in closer. Body, head, then just the eyes?? If your pixels will stand up to it, quality-wise

rooster - no, they're taken with multishot (or whatever that drive mode is called) and they're all taken within a few seconds of each other. i agree that there isn't that much difference - if you have them on top of each other and flip between them the movement is dramatic, but just in the way of watching a cat coil up in preparation to pounce.

sher & tfaust - thanks, i'll give that a try later and post it here.

dacrazyrn - i'll try that too. i shot it at 800 iso so there is a bit of color noise, but the could probably stand a bit of enlargment or maybe i can desaturate them before i blow them up.
