Thank you, it took me 9 shots to get it right in camera, as in minimal processing required to get what I wanted.
I'm attaching another version where the elements maybe go together a little better but framing doesn't feel totally right (I wanted a little more space between the lights) and focus point is slightly off from where I wanted it.

First version feels just right to me, Armand.

Window-shopping for reflections of fantastical beings.

Anybody seen Cowboys and Aliens? Don't.

Hi Rob,
I have...I admit it. I'm also ashamed.  Nice shot, as expected.

Hi Peter,

It was on Spanish tv last night, and after watching two Bond movies earlier this season (also Spanish tv) I wanted to see Mr Craig doing something else. Now I don't.

Regarding the Siren Sisters: two shots blended together which, on reconsideration, I should have turned into b/white. There's a third one on which I'm working right now, but a bit different. May return to the 'construct' later... but I don't do that very often.

Here's the black/white one; I think I do prefer b/white to colour, so I shall attack the 'double'.

FWIW: D200; 1.8/50 G Nikkor; Metering - Matrix; Metering - Manually set - 1/200th @ f2; Auto ISO; Manual Focussing.

Might be, but more likely just that fiction is more fun than reality when reality means zero!

I wonder if they feel the cold? Must ask, one day... great way of starting a conversation! However, it's a bit cheap not using wigs, but this is just a local heroine, not one of the wealth¡er ones to be found in Palma...

I like color...it lends a living quality to the sisters.

This is true, Peter, but then colour denies the Draculaean touch I find so irresistible... that little bit of distance from a reality that threatens to deaden the soul of the unwary. I mean, with colour, who can tell the difference between the modern miss and window dummy (to use a word  that retailers hate, preferring mannequin)?

Life is such an unequal struggle: Atlas got off lightly - all he had to do was a bit of heavy lifting. There appears to be no record of his artistic journey, leading me to believe that he had none...

This is a better 'protective' measure than garlic, never fails to raise the spirit:

Yep, and I can't believe that I once used to smoke, too.

It started as I think it did for all my contemporaries: we thought we looked grown up. Little did any of us realise we actually looked like idiots. Hollywood has a lot of death on its hands.

This is a little more peaceful head replacement than the one I had up earlier.

I have a couple of photos where I was happy with the colour version, then happened to see it in B&W... and loved it. Then after looking at the B&W version for a bit, I looked at the colour again... and prefered it. So I think I will now have to circulate perpetually :-)

On thing I have noticed is that the colour version works "easily", whereas in the B&W, especially in the print, needs to be well lit to "pop". Logical I guess, it depends on luminance contrast so it needs illumination.
