The chosen one

A surrealistic montage from different shootings, transformed

and mounted with PS.

Excellent!

Excellent indeed - I'm intrigued as to how this type of montage is done - can you recommend any books or technique papers that may help? Regards Paul...

Splendid. Very clean, almost sterile and spacious. Everything works.

I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!!

You`re very creative person !!!. I like this work, it`s very calm and mysterious and beautiful, but to be honest I dont like those eyes, for me they`re a little bit distracting, still fine work, congratulations

...for the reactions. I know there are some little mistakes and I doubted about the eyes in the window myself, but I decided to keep them... a creative liberty...

 

Best regards, Ben

Excellent abstract and surrealistic image!!!!!

Excellent work, Ben!

Hi Ben:

 

The title, the marble tiles, the woman's framed eyes, and the business suit all seem to suggest this has something to do with competition for love and power -- or both.

 

Do the empty silhouettes -- men with form, but no substance -- represent the the losers in some corporate succession who are circulating their resumes this very moment? Or perhaps they are the suitors for the woman whose watches the proceedings with omnipresent detachment? And the winner himself, standing at "the vanishing point." Is this a hollow victory, just as his rivals seem to be hollow men?

 

The answers, of course, are irrelevent. What matters is the power of your art to provoke such thoughts, to make us ponder and by doing so, to unleash our own creative impulses. Another masterpiece for an already brilliant collection. --jim

I don't like this extreme use of Photoshop that much, but I can't deny the excellent composition and creativity of this image. Well done.

Makes me think of those crazy shows where the bachelor or bachelorette pick from numerous suitors. Only thing missing is the rose.

 

The work is incomparable as usual.

Very imaginative composition. I think it wouldn't quite be the same without the eyes, but I would prefer the whole face of the woman. I like the depth in this - draws you right in.

Great creative mind Ben, each one of its viewer will give it his own interpretation. looking at your folder, Magritte is your inspiration? it has many of his characteristics. original work!Pnina

Very creative...Congrat

It's got something of the Matrix about it this one. Amazing work!

Love the tones of brown and the feeling of depth. It's perfect to me

 

to me this is a digital composite. art. but not a photograph by any measure. even if pieces came from photographs.

If Magritte could see this composition, I´m sure he would be delighted. Great!

The Opera Bluebeards Castle, by Bela Bartok..perhaps..where every doorway opened by the tenor, leads to a previously murdered wifes presense...His next wife to be, the soprano who acompanies him, too gets bumped off at the end of the fairytale..That her waiting her turn...

Ben:

 

I'm not sure your connection difficulties are entirely Belgian. During recent weeks I've often received "connection failures" when trying to access PN. Usually, half an hour later, I am able to get on. It happened last night and again this morning. Seems there are still some capacity or network problems at PN itself which have not been resolved. --Jim

anything works and everything is accepted here...could i also submit my photoshop graphics and my animation shots ?

Image with so many unspoken words. Nice work.

How do you see the person... interesting. ben, the falling perspective is diffecult, the line horizont/forground are not conform. to the person: a little more light...a little spot from the underside...

 

a good work.

 

regards, roman

Excellent work.
