So this has been one of those weeks where I thought I had things sorted and knew what I was doing only to realise on Saturday that I was totally on the wrong path. You see the challenge, for those not in the know, was to create a collage of your favourite challenge so far, using new images ... not images already taken, which is what I've foolishly done here. My interpretation of what a collage is might also be my second big mistake of the week. You see I took a shot of coloured water in a glass and combined that with some shots I took of light passing through that glass onto the coals in our gas fire to form a single new image. Then, in turn, I've created an overlay that attempts to make it look as if the new combined image is actually made up of several smaller shots ... a sort of scattered image if you like in a style perhaps reminiscent of the David Hockney poster entitled "The Desk". To be fair though, despite my reservations about how I've approached the challenge, I actually kind of like the finished result. It might have worked slightly better if I'd had time to micro-manage the position of the individual snaps just a little, but I ran out of time so it is what it is. Like I say, I kind of like it, but as ever I'd welcome any comments or feedback you guys care to leave.
