Dancing Shadows at the Beach

[Heide]

I had three photos, which I combined to one, to make up kind of a story. I actually wanted to post this as my input for the 'Happiness is... assignment', but as I am using Paint Shop Pro 7, it kills my EXIF, so it wasn't possible to use it there.

Here are the three different photos - I took them while being the shadow as well :-)








The third one I had to turn around by 45 degrees to get the shadow standing up, and then I made up the sand with the clone brush.

Then I combined them into one picture and connected the legs and the sand, and here is the result....




I am wondering if you think the story is telling itself with this? Or does it just look like 5 random people? Does this catch you eye? Anything I could improve? It is worth putting a large amount of time into this? Just inviting for comments.... :-)


Thank you!
Heide

thats a clever idear might try this myself .the 1st shadow on the left looks like he or she is thinking of doing something to the next shadow then it looks like it kisses or whispers to it then suprise reaction by the last one.might be better without the seaweed but great work

Thank you kym baddack! Yes, try it, dance :-), and let me see your results!!!
I left the seaweed in to make it easier to see that it's actually a later scene of the same place, a little bit of it left on the last picture, too....
