 Hmm. I just read the title for this challenge. I will probably get lots of DNMC votes.
Hope it exceeds a 5.0

This is 1 photo done in 2 parts.
Held a card over 1/2 the lens then opened the shutter in Bulb with a cable release. Using a radio trigger I manually fired the flash once.
Then Tommy turned around and I flipped the card over the other 1/2 of the lens and fired the flash again.
Lastly release shutter.
Unfortunately you can see the overlap a bit. Took loads of tries to get a 1/2 decent photo where everything matched up and the overlap was about right.

Anyway I have to submit it for my Olympics team.

Creepy, nice double exposure! Only a few telltale blur marks.

Interesting photo. But is it appropriate for a "lines" challenge?

The effect is fairly subtle. I had too look at this photo a couple times before I realized what you did. Very hard to do, but well executed. 8
