My first idea for this image was for me to me walking a tight rope and juggling at the same time. I was going to do some dramatic landscape with it. But I just couldn't work it out in my head. In order for me to be walking a tight rope I would have to be able to photograph from something high that had something high next to it, like a skyscraper but there is nothing like that around here, so I went with an easier solution of just doing a studio shot of me juggling from the waist up.
Next was acquiring all the images I needed. The little ballerina and my daughter playing soccer were photographed laying on the floor. It was much easier to get the position I wanted them in and also gave a bit of an illusion of floating.
The edit was painstaking, especially the piano because it was not photographed on a white background like the others, so I had to go around every nook and cranny with my eraser.
The edit and photographing in total took around 8 to 10 hours.

This portrait is kind of nice.. I like it. If it werent for the growcery and the vacuum/dust cleaner your life would be better! ;)
a background could be added, but its nice white also.
pd. its hard in this challenge, the "kind" of "Expert Editing" is so different and vast, that they are good images vs. good images, and its difficult to vote correctly.
