I think, having undertaken duplicity shots myself. that the impact is generated from the fact that we can see your face. Ergo, I didn't rate this as high as were the face visible.

Positives. Very crisp image (excepting the green balloon), the result of a high f-stop which keeps the fore and the background (images) in focus. The balloons add a dash of colour and thus compliment. But therein lies the problem.

I love it

Jay said 470 days ago:

Too very different comments - I appreciate both thank you!

Mooch - my drive was that there's such a huge number of duplicity shots, that it took something different to make any impact - ergo my face is obscured. It was a deliberate move to stick a metaphorical finger up at all the poor duplicity shots that actually hold no real interest other than someone's ability to use photoshop and a remote control. Having said all that, it's good to get the feedback - just because my intent was considered, it doesn't mean that it worked out as planned ;)

Well done. I like the idea of the colored ballons.

eterisk said 470 days ago:

One of my favorites.

mooch said 470 days ago:

Points noted. Judging from the comments, I may well be wrong. the balloons for me, and this is what generated my conclusion is that they are self-defeating.

hahaha

I really like this. I am not sure if it would be better with just one shot of you and the balloon or the three but it is fun and makes me smile.

Excellent.

ChriZ said 469 days ago:

Congrats on the feature Jay, nicely done!
Balloons, great idea...

photografica said 469 days ago:

I love it. The symmetry of the legs is coll, and particularly the balloons. Without them I wouldn't rate it half as high. I think you've nailed it.

Ade said 469 days ago:

love it, very creative

zulu said 469 days ago:

Congrats to the feature. I like the light, colors and all the technical aspect. But for me, in a self portrait, I want se the whole face. High marks.
