Great for the theme, and nicely lit - next step is to make a functioning blaster?
Many thanks all, ended up not liking the fact that the blaster and sabre were the same colour so I had another play...Great idea, well done. Like the expression on the one being blasted- not happy

Many thanks guys!
I ummed and ahhed about that tree but settled with it staying in as I liked the path that loops through under it which would get lost in a crop. I did after posting the above decide to go a lot closer and use the mono theme/ tech. Pretty happy with the conversion/ edit.

Your re-edit of the vertical shot is excellent and I really like your "barking in the dark" shot,

That's a nice one Ryan, love the dog caught in mid-pee and the juxtaposition of the guy looking in and the guy in the distance looking out.

Lost in the dark shot is very good, lighting is spot on
Street shot works but processed a bit too much for me, like the dog though
Your street shots very good the dog makes the image for me, I agree about the processing the man and dog look over sharpened
Many thanks for the comments all, sorry for the late reply.

This is a great catch-up set Ryan and the last two images are awesome. The bokeh is stunning.

Thanks, not sure what the heck it was but feeling a lot better now.
Cheers Alan, I was quite happy with that one.
Thanks Keith(s)
Cheers Paul!
Thanks David!
Thanks Bill, yes that old lens can create some wild bokeh when shot wide open. Pretty rubbish for sharpness and contrast but for artsy stuff its great fun.

Superb macro work Ryan!
Many thanks everyone!!
Cheers Keith, I used a Pentax Auto Bellows ii with a 12mm ext tube on the back/ camera side and a reversed Sigma superwide 24mm f2.8 @f11 on the front.
Back of the fag pack calculation;
M = (12+24+170)/24
M = 8.6:1(ish)
Each image is a stack of between 8 and 25 layers. and lit with led desk lamp using a timer and slow shutter speed.
