Thanks for the comments and advice. I'm sure most people figured out that this was a multi exposure, with 5 exposures in total. I guess the shot was spoiled a little by the line... ah..
Well, the line was the meeting point of two sheets of paper. I think the multi-exposure made the line more noticeable. Although the line wasn't intentional in the original shot, I thought (as inspzil suggested) that it helped the overall illusion.
I thought the line dividing the picture was like a metaphor for the dolls, which also were divided in two, and also helped the transparency illusion. But I guess it was pretty distracting and the shot would have looked better without it.

Nice shot but what is that line through the middle?

I like the shot, but I don't know what the black line is. Kind of distracting. 7 Jacko.

Cool effect, but the line through the ghostly figures is a bit distracting. Excellent focus and very good color!!!! 7 Swash

good ghosting effect with these stacking dolls. do find the line a bit distracting but is a great shot and good choice of subject!

This is a great photo, and a marvelous idea. But the black line....... :( Ah well. Still spiffy.

Pretty good concept and nicely executed. At first glance, I thought the line thru the middle of them was distracting, but now I realize that it's a tool in this shot. Nice job - Inspzil

I don't like the line running across the center of the photo, if that was out of the picture your shot would be great.

The 'horizon' line is simply too distracting, but otherwise a good shot. seasick - 6.

Great concept....but I am sure I am not the only one who has commented in the distracting line....still giving you a 7.

Good idea but I see a horizontal line through the shot. What's up with that?
10/28/2002 03:11:00 PM
Clever

The line is very distracting.

Great concept, although the line in the middle is distracting
10/28/2002 10:00:00 AM
Nice shot, I like how the dolls fade out, but I find the center line distracting.
10/28/2002 09:39:00 AM
simple, yet satisfying.
10/28/2002 08:36:00 AM
Could have done without the line across the middle, otherwise a good effect.
10/28/2002 03:56:00 AM
why is there a line across this picture?
10/28/2002 03:42:00 AM
The line where wall and floor meet spoil the picture.
Maybe a better result with a one piece background linnen, where there is no edge, only a flowing invisible curve?

This is a neat shot. The line that runs through the middle of the shot is distracting... and it's making me wonder what it is? :) Very neat idea though... - JB
