This did begin life as a photo. I was in a second-hand/antiques/junk shop and these two guys (mannequins)with their monkey and umbrella were up on a mezzanine level, and that flag was right there too. I just had to shoot them but don't know if that would have been appreciated and the proprietress was occupied so I just snuck the one shot, no flash and it's underexposed and blurry, but I thought they were cool. I have used the next door shop's stained window as an overlay,( it's an even more downmarket junk shop.) I got rid of a coke machine, then used poster edges on the background and accented edges on the overlay.
What was that expression someone used the other day? Processed the snot out of it I believe. Well me too.
The beauty of the overlay challenges is that you can take what was once considered a throw-away shot and make it into something to treasure. And you DID! This is fantastic. Great graphic feel.
