Phases of the Hoop

The image is a composite of the model including the bottom "mountain range" that is multiple bodyscapes.

 

The inspiration for this image is an image on bigstockphoto by contributor Kagenmi I think the title is "Phases of the Earth's moon composed into a time-lapse series." Much thanks to Kagenmi for the wonderful image. Please consider purchasing Kagenmi's images for your next project.

Beautifully done! The lighting is magical, and the sequencing seamless. The "mountain range" (I was thinking of it as "the aurora") is the perfect foundation for the composite. I spent a little bit of time trying to figure out if I was bothered by the difference in lighting on the left-most take, then decided that I liked that lighting so much that the difference really didn't matter. Really nice image, a great idea, and a lot of fun to look at!

Beautiful work on light, contrast, assembly and overall fancy look, bravo.
