Wow, interesting that they both had the same facial expression and almost identical stance. Nice catch. :)

Twins right?I'm guessing yes they are looking at different places so you didn't clone it in Photoshop lol : great shot man : now this is a moment.

Somehow the bicycle should enhance the symmetry of the boys but unfortunately I just find it distractting

gorin-images said 777 days ago:

This is wonderful in so many respects. But I think my favorite thing about it is how these twins are lined up almost perfectly parallel to the shadows, and how their upper body positions and facial expressions are nearly identical.

This is definitely an instance of "serendipity" in front of the lens.

love it...

ArneG said 777 days ago:

Twins or double exposure - the sameness of expression is captivating

gorin-images said 772 days ago:

C'mon...you gotta tell us now...twins or some double exposure PhotoShop trick? I'm going with "twins" because the front of the tread on the shoes of the one in front seems much thicker than on the one in the back.

I'm really glad this made the homepage...it is a great image. And I don't find the bicycle distracting ;)

Nope, it's not Photoshop. But even I had to look twice at this photo, and I was there! If you look closely, you can see slight differences between them. Plus, I'm decent at Photoshop, but not *that* good. :)

this is just scary, heh.

Ok this has unsettled me a tad! Great capture.

This is so scary, you want to conclude that it is fake. The alternative is just too disturbing.. I didn't like the image at first, it looked like a cheap duplicity shot on PS but fortunately I read the commentary. Mad capture!

Those snails I shot, I was walking through a field of rape on a little recce. It had rained somewhat and when I looked down I noticed lots of these lovely coloured snails. Thought I have a go at shooting them so took them home. This shot is coupled with a second that I entitled 'photo finish'.
