Well not exactly but I like the effect. It's the result of a Hard Mix blending mode on a desaturated image in conjunction with a texture layer and a black background. What do you think of it?

It's an interesting effect. I like the coloring. My only subjective comment is my brain struggles a bit with all the dead space in the upper left of the image. I'm gonna let me coffee kick in and come back to take another look.

I’ve got the same problem with it Fstop, trouble is the donor image doesn’t really give what I want if I move the girls up.

I like the pose. As mentioned the top left dead space does not bother me. However I am not crazy about the treatment. But that is just me.

I tried adding a light in that dead space but it wasn’t good, still bothers me though. You might prefer the full thing Frank - what do you think?

I am attaching a very quick edit to you shot. By no means do I mean it to be a finished product. It is just did it to give you an idea on a more balanced shot. BTW I do like the original. I did not see the guy the first time I viewed it. Nice added touch.

Yes, that looks good Frank, nicely balanced. I’ve now gone completely bonkers with it and created something a long way from my norm! Hopefully I won’t stay there but it looks like this…

I like the treatment on this one. I don’t think you need the fourth woman. But hey when you go bonkers one never knows what one will come up with.

I like this and agree with NJFrank about the 4th woman. I guess sometimes you just can't control the strength of those magic mushrooms you are consuming. LOL.

This new version demands thoughtful attention. I love how you've totally lost control of yourself, Dave

Quite, I shall return to normality next week. Meanwhile I’ll remove the fourth woman (she’s married to the third man y’know!).

I’m giving them up soon, this isn’t helping my intended direction at all!
