Balancing Act
Today's posting is of an image I made for the Bay Area Photo Club's February Honors Night held last night. The Assignment was for a Surreal Composite. I haven't done many composites and so I was excited that this Assignment gave me motivation to try something outside of my photographic comfort zone. Once I had a concept the execution was actually quite fun! :-) And...I received a Gold award for my efforts!

Well done! I didn't get to look at this last night while at the meeting. You did a super job coming up with this idea for a composite.
Nice, well balanced exposure and composition. Love the added shadow under the little guy sitting.
Doug said "well balanced" - he,he, he.
Good job with achieving your vision. Nice image.
Very well executed! I like all the little detail that makes it work - the fact the bottom three guys look up while the top guy looks down, how the little guys are on the left 1/3, and your eye in the 3rd power point. There are a lot of subtle composition elements that really make this work. If I wanted to nit-pick, I'd say that the bottom most guy should have switched his legs to keep the dynamic towards the center of the image.
Nicely done.

Congratulations, Barry! This would have served you well in the humorous category too! You certainly received lots of laughter from it! Lots of work here and you were well rewarded.
Nicely done composite that adds your unique secret weapon--humor! Good job.
It brought a big smile and a chuckle. Good for the soul. Great Job!
Thanks for the comments everyone!
Jan - The one time I tried posing these guys there was an accident, a fall, and one of the five guys was injured! :( After that I just let them do their own thing! :-)
Cheers!
Barry
