Composite of two shots..

One is of me on two bar stools in my living room, shot with Lightsphere in Bounce Mode. Cut me out with a layer mask and a bit of patience.

The other shot right afterwards of the clouds in the sky above my house. Added a bit of zoom blur to the clouds.

Other than being a composite, there isn't anything particularly interesting in PP on this shot.

The 1, 2, 3 & 4 & 5 votes are just stupid! This is so incredibly executed. I love the expression on your face -- something like the exhilaration of really flying, but not quite sure you aren't going to plop to the ground dead any minute :)

Such a fun photo!!!!

Whattya mean "still", Leroy? Nice superman effect LOL. That zipper (?) sticking out of your pants leg weirds me out a little. Technically excellent.

Hiya! I like this shot because it's so fun looking. It brought a smile to my face. What would have made it stand out for me is if you were interacting more with the sky - maybe if there were a cloud in the foreground that you were using your hand to push away, or something like that. As is, it looks too much like you and the background are two seperate elements. I do like the feeling of motion that is created by the streaks in the clouds - that does bring a bit of unity to the shot. Good luck in the challenge!

ROFL and I thought the bowling head was cool!! Way to go Leroy!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/15/2006 12:22:59 AM
Great idea! Did you try a version where the clouds were sharp and you were blurred? The feeling of motion might be more natural that way. Still, well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/15/2006 12:15:35 AM
Lol. 10.
