 I submitted this for "composite", but after that thread about whether a photo looked like a composite or not I decided to withdraw it and enter it here since I spent quite some time producing this.

I used 2 exposures.

One of my favorites. Gave it a 7! Wouldn't have made any difference if you had submitted it in composites. I always trust the submitter!

a bit sentimental, but it has a nice moodiness to it
