Watching the thoughts go by

Watching the thoughts go by

My fifth and last entry for the 2008 Canon Photo5 Competition.
All done – at last!!!

Description
I shot a series of bubbles which I later combined with another shot I took of a work mate. My aim was to represent our thoughts and how we sometimes can look into them too much. The elements were composited together in Photoshop, cleaned up and enhanced and this is the end result.

Watching the thoughts go by belongs to the following groups:

    I really like it, Enrico.
    I think it’s the only use of “thought bubbles” I’ve seen, and you’ve executed it really well.
    Good luck!

    Hi all, just got back in town from a long weekend getaway and was delighted to know I got in for two finalists… I’m glad that all the hard work – brainstorming, planning, capture and post production usually involving late nights paid off… I guess there’s the next hurdle now and I’d like to thank the RB community for getting behind me with comments and votes… thanks so much and I wish you all luck for photo5 2009! Cheers, Enrico :)
