Aliya and the Magic Key

.

Hacking and slashing my way through photoshop. This is probably themost ambitious project I have attempted. I wanted it to look real, asin everything looks as if it is part of a single photograph, but atthe same time as though from a fairy tale book.

I think the kids will like it. What do you think of it?

Very unique /original I like it !

... almost miraculous. Can't believe you conceived this image from those shots. Did you plan it this way or was this just a compendium? Great work.

Thanks folks. The shots of the kids were taken while flying a kite, and after some experimentation I thought they looked good side by side. Then I needed something for them to be looking at and the next day I shot the background/doorway/face for the purpose of making the picture.

Much experimenting, and mostly hacking away and learning as I went. Getting the lighting from all these pictures to look as though it was a single scene was the toughest part but I think it's effective. Not quite what I wanted but it's a start.

cheers.

WOW! I would say imaginative in composition, color and texture is finis coronat opus. In other words ~ beautiful work and I am jealous ( smiles ).. 7/7 in my book of images viewed.
