None are Photoshopped except for the usual brightness/contrast fine tunings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have an interesting concept going there!. Whether or not these are good images (and they are basically good), the concept is well worth exploring!. I have seen and even done some "suspended" stuff, and great fun can be had by such experimentation!. Worthiness isn't even a consideration here, of course they are worthy, especially in as much as you are trying something, and it more or less worked the first time!. I won Honourable mention at a juried art show once with a pic I took inside the wood stove!. My reasoning was exactly the same, I was bored out of my mind, and couldn't get to sleep so I took some "dumb" shots, and won an award with one of them!. Keep up your experimentation and you will continue to come up with interesting and thought provoking shots!. JWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your question might of not appeared if you asked "What do you think !.!.!.!.!. " what do you think questions don't usually appear for me or get deleted , so try to ask photography questions that don't have what do you think in them !.

You have a interesting concept for these 4 images and the one that's most effective to me is number 4 because of the DOF and the way you have some of your hand in focus works with tbe idea of the image , nice job !. It did make me think of a magician right awayWww@QuestionHome@Com

Liked them all, Besides the second one (Personal opinion)!.

Very neat creative idea that was!

Edit- That was rude, Good point "classicrockrox"!.

Don't let his awful opinion bring you down!!!! There awesome, Very very very creative idea! I seen the purpose of the photo's with first glance, Tried similar ideas and didn't work out so well!.

What is really cool you did it your self, Perfect posters and angles you did it in!. Whole new perspective!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If this is a self portrait, why are you focusing more on the green little ball and not yourself!? you are less than visible in EVERY pic!. However, out of all of then, I like the first!. Not sure what concept you are trying to do if this is a self portrait!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like the photo's but they are not fine art, not sure which category they would fall into!. I have to give you full credit for the idea though!. But it's just not worthy of the internet!.!.!.sorry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have looked at the photos a couple of times and I am really impressed!. The images in general are great and I love the work you have done with the contrast tuning!. I especially like how you have kept the girl in the background out of focus but still notable by the clever use of the colours you have chosen for the clothing of the girl to contrast against the colour of the ball!.
If I had to pick one image though, number 4 would be my favourite!. I like number 4 because I reckon for the image to work, you would need to have not only the ball in pin sharp focus, but also the hand too!. I like the way you have composed the image too!.
I would however would have liked to have seen the whole of your other hand too!. If that is you in the picture though, I can understand how it would be hard for you to make sure you weren't accidentally cropped!. If that was me, I would set myself markings for where to place my hands after a couple of dummy shots!.
Anyways, all in all, really cool and unique images!. You are clearly very talented and I am very jealous of you lol!.

I would love to know how you did this photo but I know a magician never reveals their secret!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
