What happens when you make your subject wait too long.

I called this one "A Portrait of the Artist as a Dead Man", but I don't think anyone understood the reference .....

I love it!

You should have been the judge then .... the one I got didn't like it.

Is that because they looked like the last impression?

[mudman]

maybe shorter exposures would have help your chances

[ameerat42]

Actually, remember the exposure quadrangle:
Exposure time-ISO-aperture-subject lifespan

In this case you should have increased the last one

I am with this Judge also

I don't think I have that setting! Otherwise it's quite an accurate representation of where I'm headed in the lockdown!

I always enjoy your witty, creative composites and this is no exception. I'm sure another judge could have had a totally different opinion.

Thanks Glenda, I must admit I do enjoy making them. I've got a bit bored with the usual run-of-the-mill photography and creatives let me play around in interesting ways. Judges are judges, and they all have their own biases and predilections. I do a lot of judging and I try so hard to be unbiased, but I'm sure I don't always succeed!

More appreciation coming from me for creativity and humour.

Thanks! It's one sort of photography you can do without leaving home .... just right for lockdowns!

Very creative Bob and no doubt a lot of work went into this even the flowers passed on loved it very much !!

Thanks! It does take a remarkable amount of effort and multiple layers etc - far more than is apparent in the end result. I think that one frame alone was around 30 layers! I think it takes a particularly obsessive mindset (or too much time on my hands) to do one of these!

Still, it keeps me off the streets which is the aim of the game right now.

I was going to say something along the lines of it looking like a nice series of photographs of someone waiting to be free again in Australia.

Very crafty - sounds like hard work, as I imagine it would be.

The other difficulty is that every component has to be your own photographic content. I was fortunate some years back to be given an eyeball used to demonstrate medical issues (my son-in-law is a doctor). That single eyeball has featured in a number of images since then. Even the left panel uses those for consistency - all six eyes in the image are that one plastic eyeball!
