I love advanced editing. Thanks to my magician for modelling for me. Yes, this is the same hat from the Exit challenge as well as Quite Perplexing. I have to get my money's worth for my props. :D
Thanks for looking!

oooh, if only it would look like juggling using perspective for each vegetable & fruit and hand placement - "juggling a healthy diet"?...nice concept anyway.
Great idea! Love the different fruits and veggies. A little bright in some places though. Really like the way you removed all the color except the objects of importance.
we meet again Cooley? This is you trade mark now: floating fruits and veggies, top hat and sepia...oh and your daughter ;) Not as impressed with this one though. It's good but not a good as previous work. THe lighting isn't great which makes everything look flat, but maybethat's what you wanted. 7
A very creative and good composition! But it is the expression on the model that has me wondering: "Should the magician be surprised at the magic he/she casts from their own hands or should they have a cool & composed mysterious look about them as they cast their magic?" I don't know but it is one thing that makes me pause as I look upon this photo. Heh, you know what I just realized? You almost followed an artist's color wheel pattern! Had you positioned the yellows together to fade into the oranges then fade into the reds you would have a perfect fruit & vege color wheel! O.K. tones are very good with the small exception that the sleeve & hand of the foreground arm blends in a tad too well with the outstretched arm. Not sure how to correct it to make them a little more distinct in tones - a tiny bit of dodging mayhap??? The colors of the fruits and vegetables really pop off the page. The striped wallpaper as the backdrop is a tad distracting to the main composition as a whole. But in an odd way it can help add to the illusion of that of a magician standing on a 'curtained' stage performing his/her magic tricks.
nice idea, but it's obvious the fruits and veggies are photos sticked to the backdrop - it's the missing shadow. banana and broccoli are very pale, too.
To me though I'd have gone with a much less distracting background, there is already a lot going on. The hand positions seems a little odd to me too... seems like the "magician" should look more in control of the fruits and veggies instead of suprised that they are floating.
