Hi Engy, thanks for your kind comment,
Well, This guy was doing a show for the Halloween, I was trying slow shutter effect hand held to allow some motion in here, I was focusing on the face, take the picture and allow him to move a little, so the guy in the middle is the original capture, the face to the left is his face before he moved.
The guy on the left was taken from a different capture, created another layer in photo shop, added him in quick mask mood. Finally, I've added some toning, level adjustment, curves to adjust the contrast and make the capture looks as one shot.
Please check the original picture attachment.

And here is the original picture for the guy on the left. I hope this helped :)
Kind regards and thanks once again,

I like the work here, Can not tell if more than one layer, the close crop and fill frame has its effect and splendid impact.
I like this well composed work.
Regards
Saeed

Vevy interesting in its suggestive power Ameed! Since abstracts are subject to interpretation I can only expose my own ideas about it, which might differ very stronly from your intention. So I "see" the faces of persons that question my own intepretation of the image itself - a question about interpretation that appears on the image itself when I try to interprete it. I consider it to be a very "healthy" way to face any interpretation at all, since none of them will be wrong and none of them will be right. But the fact that this question appears on the image itself is quite remarkable!

BTW, how did you achieved that? Is it a multi-exposure or some work in photoshop?

Best wishes and keep it up,

Nick


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 3/7/2007

SUPER!!! If a photographer can 'use' the motion blur in perpus, that means he is PRO!!! Are you??? :-D That you did is fantastic and...spooky too as the result gives the idea of...ghosts! And that greyscaled face at the top left looks like cames from nowere!!!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!!!!
Another though here can be like...the middle guy gives to your camera (and at next though to the watcher) a fast strong punch and you 'write' with motion blur his hand moved fastly to...my face...ouch!!! :-)
Anyway generaly the best part is that the blur orange blur - foggy motion blur 'frame roundly the greyscaled face very nicely, that part is the best and really diserves a lot!!!
