After going on two separate scorpion hunts in hopes to portray Scorpio, (because really, how cool would that have been??) I settled on Gemini... even though I feel like this was the easy way out.
I am actually a Sagittarius. :)

Thanks everyone! I figured Gemini would be the one most people defaulted to and I just had to hope mine stood out enough. :)
@MinsoPhoto: thank you! I also worried that people who didn't know me may have just thought mine was a photo of twins, rather than two pictures of the same person, which could have led me to lose points when people didn't realize or understand the difficulty of mering two photos of the same person to make a believable interaction and how difficult and intricate it can get. I'm glad you thought it wa believable AND that you knew it wasn't twins. :). As for the competition, like Christophe has told me about comments of my own work competing with his, I also welcome it! It forces me to work harder and push my own boundaries. I am just glad people appreciate my work and I am happy to be part of a community where I can stretch my imagination and talent once in awhile. I need to get better about entering other, non-expert challenges though. :)
My self portraits would do much better if I looked like you lol. Great work, the sign drawn in the stars was a very nice touch. Posing like that and combing the shots to look like it was one shot of twins is really good work. Not easy at all but you made it believable. You are keeping great company at the top but now there are even more contenders to fight against in expert editing :)
