My Mother-in-Law and her two sisters when they came to visit for her birthday.
This is the start of a project I've been wanting to do to study how people interact with a suspended frame.
Lighting was done with a Speedlite 580 shot into an umbrella. It was shot at night with nothing but my yard in the background. This is why it is black.
I had to levels adjust to get the middle black shirt not to meld into the background. This made her background a little grayer and I had to curves multply her layer and mask in just her background. It blends on my monitor, but I'm afraid it may show through on others.

what a wonderful creation! the concept is unique, it was executed well, edited well and the final display is awesome. 10 congrats on a truly artful shot.
Creative take on what is a triptych - it looks like they all had fun modeling for it! Possible improvement would be to have your middle model wearing a shirt that isn't quite so dark and contrasts better with the background.
This is great. A shot to be prowd of. The chose of tones on this one is perfect. My only problem is the shadows on the last lady. Her face seems a bit dark.
