Centurion, South Africa

Thanks, Michael, for a topic that gives me a chance
to try out stuff I have always wanted to do,
but never got around to thus far.

Credit to my most willing helper!

Nico, you are much too hard on yourself, Sir. Realllllllllyyyyyyy a great image. Best Wishes, T

Sorry, Traveller. I was "over the limit" in Eligible and had to kick something over to Exhibition. I really could not make up my mind which one, though. My decision was this for one simple reason only: I do not think the furniture really played a key/central role here; it is probably more about the person and the cloning than about furniture. In short, I felt (self-critically, perhaps?) that this was the least "on topic" of my posts. But from a personal perspective, definitely also one I like a lot. Thanks for the nice compliment. Hope I am forgiven? Regards jnconradie

Nico, what in the world is this doing over here...I was intending to vote for it. What's up? Best Wishes, Traveller

Cheers, Vikas

Thanks, Tom. Your recommendation is fantastic! I can kick myself for not thinking of that when we were doing the shoot. Definitely something to add to the mix next time. (The flowers are actually different arrangements on the different tables, so that those remained in their respective positions throughout.) Thanks for the comment. Regards jnconradie

excellent! I love the way the orange flowers are moving with the subject
(do they?)
the only thing that could have made it even better was one single copy of the subject differentiated ( different clothing, a sunglass, no shoes or something else).
best regards
tom

Thanks very much, Sam and Melbob, for taking the time out to comment. Sincerely appreciated. Melbob, I had the camera safely perched on a tall tripod; without that I would not have attempted these shots. Thanks again for the kind compliments. Regards jnconradie

What a great composition Nico, love the concept and your skilled processing of this. I bet it was quite a challenge to keep the camera position throughout?

You have a talented family Nico, your son has very creative modeling skills... love the different poses!

Brilliantly done once again 'Conradie Team'! ... Regards Melbob

Thanks, Michael. Thanks, shu

Michael, yes, our home is "slightly" unique in the neighbourhood in the sense that we have a large (double-decker!) bus standing next to it!!! :-)

It is the final stages of a major renovation project. My better half is turning it into an art studio / lecture room / working space for her art classes.

Shu, I am sure my comments above also help to clarify the colour scheme: it was most definitely not chosen with boys in mind! Your observation could not have been more accurate.

:-) Can somebody perhaps choose "the old bus" as topic for the next challenge. I am sure I will have some small advantage! :-)

Regards jnconradie

Lavender, a most unlikely color for "boy" get-togethers. I like the touch of red here and there and the lavender colors are nicely distributed throughout the image. I really think Norman Rockwell would come back just one more time to paint this one! Anyway, I love it! shu

This is fairly wild, Nico. Good technique and a very playful idea. The bus is a grand setting. Is it your bus? -Michael

Thanks, everyone!

Traveller: shot in an old bus - redecorated en renovated.

Exceptional, for sure, Nico, especially the legs across the center without a body. I also love the colors...but where was this shot? In a rail car...but? Best Wishes, Traveller
