Oh my, a ribbon with this shoddy last minute entry! Yikes!
Thank you for the votes and comments everyone.
I didn't take these photos with the challenge in mind - it was only after i'd edited a couple of them that, a few hours from deadline, i noticed the challenge and thought i could squash a handful of the already edited files together hastily in Photoshop to enter. I really do prefer the single image ones but there ya go. I think if i'd shot for the challenge i'd have made more of an effort - used a tripod, combined the photographs first before processing them etc
Still, i do like the final image and i'm very pleased it got a ribbon of course. Thanks all.
Oh, and the halos are an obvious tribute to Daido Moriyama. That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it!! ;)

Wow, I just realized you got a ribbon! Awesomeness! It was one of my high votes too. Congrats to you! So what do you suppose is the reciprocal of "worm"? :-)
Clive, your talent is so flexible!!! You ribbon alongside the best of them, but still you are loved by the worst of us. You remain my favorite poet. Cheers!
Reminder to self.... Take lesson from Clive, leave shadows in the shot...
Actually pokeing fun at ME... Very Nicely done, The thing I like most is it don't look "Expert Edited" Which I think is Stunning!!! Congratulations on a well deserved ribbon!!!
Oh, Clive. A ribbon! How can I remain true to you now, you shameless tart?
I hope you will tolerate my saying that it is to my recollection your least interesting photograph (which is not to say it's uninteresting, because it's not ... but its lesser-celebrated stablemates in your portfolio set a fiercely high standard interest-wise). I blame the challenge topic, which near enough forced the entrants into playing the same hackneyed old 'multiple appearance' game. You at least played it with some rare sense of lightness of touch, and my congrats for that. But please don't make a habit of this ribbon stuff, mate.
The three kids in the back looks like they have been retouched in later, which is kinda the point with this challenge, but it shouldn't look like it. It looks like the one on the right has a halo around its head, and the one on the left has a messed up dark area around it. It might be the shadow, but it looks like photoshop. Apart from that this shot is absolutely amazing! 7
