I did see the strings and understood what you were trying to say Fi, but sorry, I don't think it comes across. Now, if you got someone to run their hands over the strings and took a slow shot of the strings vibrating, THAT might make a big difference.

So to the first two, love the first esepcially and a great idea. I see poor Alan still has the tripod on his back! The second one is just a tad tight cropped. After all, I know the lovely Alan and, sorry Alan, he wouldn't reach the top of anything!

My mian question is this: because we are photographers and because I saw Alan looking exactly like that last week, I know he has a tripod on his back in the bag. But would other non-photographers know that or would they simply be distracted by 'What's that he's got sticking out of his back?'

I think the technique is an excellent one and you've done it really well. It's worth doing some more with and careful thought to the outlines silhouetted will provide some very striking images.

Just as an aside, did you take the picture via a reflection, a set up on self-timer or did you get Murray in on the act for the first one?

Great work and good to see that imagination of yours being given a good workout.... it is paying dividends :o)

Cheers,
Rob
