Description
This was going to be "Watch Out; Gestapo About!" but I thought I'd do a before and after instead. I found the first image to clutered with modern things so I took them out, this one is pretty straight forward. I had the wall as a blank canvas, it did originally have an old yellow luggage truck in it so first off that went. It was then just a small matter of cut and paste the figures from one to the other, a bit of tarting up(dodge burn clone) and Bob's your uncle as they say. This one was a lot easier than the previous two with the same wall in the background though I must say.
Thanks for stopping by for a look see, and for any comments you care to make. Good, bad or indifferent I don't mind, cause it shows that the picture has touched you in some way. I believe that is what every artist/photographer wants, for their image to reach out and touch someone somehow.
It's Friday, so have a nice weekend now.

You may have kept their shadows I think the color would work well. Good work
Great manipulation Jeff, like GBCalls says i would have kept their shadows, excellent work well done..
Is he demonstrating some kind of new method of getting people to "sing like a canary" by painfully grabbing the nose lol ? Great demonstration by yourself here Jeff of changing the background to make a more true to the time image with all the public about. you showed on you last upload how it became near impossible to capture without modern the day public in the shot.
Great work on this, although I do agree with the other two comment about the shadows,the lack of shadows make the subjects look like they are floating, a shadow anchors them to the ground Hugs
Most excellent postwork if you had not showed the before photo I would never had known! Very well done!
Great to see how you do it Jeff! They do look quite hilarious levitating like that, though! You could have called this pic 'Beam me up, Scotty'! When I'm teaching drawing, folk neglect the shadows and the objects aren't anchored as sylki comments above. Anyhow, enough of this criticising, who am I to comment when I can't begin to do what you do!!!! As the saying goes, "If you can't do it yourself, Teach!"
Like I said all comment are welcome, thanks for the CC, I will(have) taken it on board, thanks all for pointing it out.
nice work:)
Excellent photomanipulation! Keep up the good work and have a nice week end Lior

Skillfil cut and paste work Jeff, and the alernative title would have worked :)

excellent background work but without their shadows they appear to be floating
Brilliant!
This is really good. Lots of time went into it I bet. Excellent work and, by golly, shows what sort of high level of artistic talent you have!

Hello my dear friend Jeff, Wonderful photography.Fantastic work. Superbly done!! Congratulations!! A million stars************** Thanks you very much for you comments.Happy weekend. Hug and kiss in Your heart.Luminous blesing.Ludy
Nice work, my friend! I've another bit of feedback regarding the shadows ... make sure they'll look realistic! Putting the people in front of a wall WITH the shadows would make me wonder how the shadows got there when they're standing in front of an apparently high wall. Angle of the sun, and all that.
excellent capture and work Jeff.
Excellent work my friend. Hugs
You did a great work here, Jeff. it looks very realistic, good choice for the background, excelent !
WOW i am so impressed by your postwork can really appreciate this... gosh, i know how long it takes to do something like this!!!! well even though you have to go shopping today i still do hope you have a wonderful Fathers day !!! big hugs !!!!!
Hours of fun to be had with photo manipulation. I would have kept the scene to midground and just replaced the cluttered background the shadows do give depth to the image as commented before. Forgive me but I could'nt help but think of Herr Flick from Allo Allo when I saw the guy on the right. Excellent!
Very cool ... but I agree with some of the other comments that the shadows should have been retained ... at least small ones. :-) Well done.
I had to look first to catch on. Nice job Jeff, it looks more realistic after you took some of the clutter out, Sig...
