beside myself

it's been a rather frustrating day... i've been meaning to try a mulitplicity shot for a while now, but finally decided to give it a go when i couldn't get that phrase out of my head today ;p

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

Love the high key of this. Your have yourself as a guardian angel. Great execution.

[Jaydee]

reminds me of "the strangers" movie, starring Liv Tyler .... Re abt Multiplicity, its a nice take for a first timer .....

[Edie]

Oh. I love this. I needed this! I've been so uninspired. Huge fav. Love love love!!!

[Mac]

Very cool, mimey shot!

[April]

Mesmerizing.

[Taffy]

Wow -- powerful! Unnerving too...what a shot.

[Karen Mitchell]

Way to challenge yourself... very cool

[Alexander]

Really emotive, Northy. I was grabbed by the whole idea of it. Only we understand what we put ourselves through.

[Lisa Stein]

Very powerful image!

[Jani M]

Great clone job, love how the "guardian angel" has such a calming expression :) There's a story to this shot, I like that a lot - often the clone shots are more of a gimmick. I think I wouldn't even notice the cloning, if you had changed your shirt between the shots. Faving.

[Angelique]

Emotional Image! I have been feeling the same way. Thanks for sharing. Fav!

[Jan Hall]

clever

[Janna E.]

Very strong emotional shot - hope you're feeling better tomorrow!

[SquamLoon]

@janim I had the exact same thought. I've always wanted to try the cloning thing too, but have been wary for the same reason.

This is done with grace. Although I have to admit I get creeped out by masks. Fav notwithstanding! ;^)

[Jocasta]

Incredibly moving photo - brilliantly conceived and brilliantly edited. FAV

[emily tull]

I agree with Jani

[Richard]

nice work

[Jacki]

Great shot! I have no idea how to do something like this but would love to try. Just fantastic :)

[Leonie M]

Fabulous Northy! I want to try an action type shot next with this technique. Just have to get someone to do something actiony.

[Sue]

wow! great work here...you are comforting yourself =)

[Marloes]

Wow. Well done. Love the title and the clever image you used to illustrate it.

[❀ Lynn]

Awesome...fav....you show EXACTLY how we all feel at times!

[Veena Gupta]

Great capture.

[Penny Price]

This is fantastic. The tones, focus and processing, very clever. Fav.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Super spooky!

[Celi]

whoa ... that's cool, and kind of creepy at the same time. interesting shot!

[Deni]

Stunning lovely shot, fav.

[Pam Knowler]

Very clever shot!!

[Michelle]

Brilliantly done! How did you get that "translucent" look?

[Gillian]

Fantastic! Fav! You've captured exactly how I'm feeling at the moment. Now all I want is to find out how to do the same :) Hang in there, girl. It does get better!!

[Katie]

Creative! You almost look like you are trying to give yourself a 'there, there' pat on the back. Hope it helped!

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Wow!!! What a moving composition. I love the effect of the shadowed wings on the subject on the stool overlooking the subject in turmoil. Not sure this was intentional but it got my attention.

[Leana Niemand]

Oh this is wonderful, well done!!!

[Michael Elliott]

amazing job so cool!

[☠northy]

@jav0930 it's pretty easy but you need processing software... i use layers and masks in PSE... i think you can make it work in gimp too... there are youtube videos that will explain how to do this...

@momsta tx! the transluscent look is likely a combined effect of reducing clarity in LR, a smidgeon of overexposure and then whatever setting i used in topaz restyle...

@cathrinemitch tx Catherine... the wings were totally accidental shadows and if i'd had the energy i would have probably tried to get rid of them ;p

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It seems so sad- that exhaustion you feel after a rough day. I hope things pick up tomorrow. In the meantime, it's so well done and I like the high key effect too. It adds to the stress!

[joey d.Muli]

fav....repeat.....fav----repeat ....fav:)

[KWind]

I know frustration... hope tomorrow is better! Great shot!

[Simply Amanda]

Really well done, my friend. Love how you processed it, too!

[Ian]

Really clever shot, nicely done, conveys a strong sense of emotion too.

[Arefin]

very strong and emotive shot! superb processing!

[Michelle]

This is brilliant, well done x

[Peter de Graaff]

[Kathy Burzynski]

You are one creative lady!

[Katia]

This speaks alot!! So very well done!! :)

[AC]

Great job! Love the tag... hoping tomorrow is a better Monday!

[Jan Penny]

Very creative shot.
