This is my first attempt at using the same model in multiple poses and then cloning them together. I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Is there anything I could have done better?

Thanks

Richard.

Richard,
I find that sometimes when I look at a photo for C&C I sometimes go to fast. This was one of those times. It took a second look cause I thought I missed something. First the Exposure is good for scene/sky. Did you do the Scene via HDR?

Second the model, I looked at it and said aww cute for the three models, great attempt... Then I saw the other 5 in the tower LOL... I like how you composed it!

The thing I did notice was some of the model(s) their face was a bit dark, which is the only thing I would have changed...

Thank you. I may try and look at the faces in PP and see if I can lift them slightly. The main model is lit with on camera fill flash. I'd really need to go strobist to sort the others out properly.

I did consider a reflector but didn't want to interfere with the scene to much. It also would have meant leaving a couple of grands equiptment out in public!

Re HDR, no I haven't used it in this image. I did consider doing so but thought the masking of the models would become to tricky. I have masked in a slightly underexposed layer on the right had side top of the tower to bring back the grain and knots.

I do have a set of RAW negatives of the tower at a different time of day which I will HDR though!

Very cool, I like the technique and the picture!
