Here are two more fantasy-like images of space aliens, using a cheap plastic toy for the subject. Both images shot in a parking garage.

I like them. I prefer the second to the first. I like your toy, too. I'd be playing with it.

Thanks! I guess I prefer the second one too.

It looks like a movie still.

Like the feel the background gives #1, number #2 reminds me of and underwater scene.

For #2, I overlaid the primary image with an image of sky with clouds and adjusted the transparency level to give me the dreamy, underwater-like effect I was after. My goal was to give the scene an other-worldly feel.

I am glad to see your creativity at work here. I've not tried anything like this, so I'm interested. They are both intriguing in different ways. The second looks very polished to me, like an image for a video game my grandson would like. The first one looks like a capture from a 1960 Alien TV show. I really like them both.

Very inventive! They look like an early sci-fi film. Great idea cleverly done.

Thank you, minniev. My approach for something like this is to visualize the final image, then produce it by carefully setting up the shot and processing.

Thank you for the compliment, magnetoman! Somewhat sloppily executed I think, but I'm generally satisfied with what I accomplished.

Great work. I like the second one most. Did you communicate with them? You should take them to our leader. Ha Ha

Thank you!
Take them to our leader? Imprinted on the back of the alien it reads, "Made in China".
