First Time Double Exposing

[itsjustbreality]

Hello!

I have tried double exposure for the first time. I'm trying to figure out what's the best order of images is, or how to make them 'meld' more cohesively. This is my first attempt anyways! If you have any tips, please send them my way!

This one was with a vase of flowers:

This one I used a vase of flowers and a sheer window curtain:

Cool!

All my opinion:

• I think you did a great job, especially for this being your first one
• I feel like this would work in landscape, as well (see below). I don't think the negative space at the top and bottom add anything to the image in portrait orientation.
• I tend to like the color version better; I like the color rendering. Although, I think it looks ok in B&W, too! I feel like the B&W loses a bit of the dreamy feeling that the color version has...
• The vertical leaf/stem in the guy's head is a little distracting, and I can't stop looking at it

Thank you! Great tips! Yeah- the more I look at it, the more the leaf stands out! I wonder if I could soften it up a little in LR

I like your first attempt at melding. The composition of the two work well together.
