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

Is that because they looked like the last impression?

maybe shorter exposures would have help your chances

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

In this case you should have increased the last one :p

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

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! :o

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

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! :nod:

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! :nod:
