Puppeteers

81 / 365
Rather than putting up photos every day of different people, I thought I would cheat and do a little montage. The guy on the right made me smile as it was a little surreal seeing a fully grown man just hanging around holding what looks like a doll. The top 3 men also made me giggle, I loved that the middle man was snapping the croc at whoever passed! The bottom trio were there before us and sat on the step for the entire time we were there, with their punch & judy puppets...not really looking like they were enjoying themselves.

Best viewed large.

Awesome montage!! Not cheating at all, it really tells a story. The guy on the bottom left does look a little gumpy :)

Nice montage!
Do you get the feeling they take this rather seriously? ;)

Great montage. I like how you've processed them with the desaturated background x

Great choice going with the montage. It give a story that flows through pictures. I really love this.

@mummarazzii Thanks Lisa! I don't think I saw him smile...!
@humphreyhippo Thank you and yes...believe me, it was all being taken very seriously. A bit weird having them walking around with the puppets 'talking' to each other. One man even sang (at the end when they did a huge parade) 'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside'...in Punch's voice...
@jodielianne Thank you Jodie - I didn't want to edit them a lot, but unfortunately it was so busy that the only want to draw the focus on the right point, was to blur and desaturate the background slightly. x

Great montage! I did giggle when I read "one man sang oh I do like to be beside the seaside in Punch's voice" :-)

Sweet and poignant composition. Really nice processing. Ok, abt. that paintbrush tool. I rarely use it. I mostly use lightroom. :)

@allisonrap @aleksandra @pammerritt @swguevin @d4photo13 @wordpixman It was a surreal, but really great hour or so. I could put up photos I took for weeks!

@michelle58 That's mine too, although maybe just because it's the most out of place with the modern world!
