Great contest!

Thank you for entering my challenge! While technically there are plenty of ways to improve an image such as this, it does have a fun and energy to it I really like. Being prepared to experiment and play is at the core of creativity :)

Generally speaking, I prefer it when the multiple versions are different and display distinct personalities. However, in this case it is so well done, and taps into the Matrix vibe, that it has a strong narrative all of it's own :)

Thank you for entering my challenge! This was one I kept coming back to. In some ways it goes against all the usual rules of photography - the desire for clarity, sharpness and detail - and yet it works really powerfully - almost abstract - bypassing the technical but hitting the emotions.

Thank you for entering my challenge! There were many great entries, but I found I kept coming back to this one again and again. Initially I just included it as "meeting the brief", but each time I narrowed down, moving from Commended, to Highly Commended, to Top 10, I found this photo growing on me. On one level it seems quite simple, and yet there is such a quiet power and energy in this image. The mist makes it feel very empty and remote, but at the same time there is a sense of a a brief pause - a quiet moment - in a much bigger story. The more you look at it, the more it grows on you.

Thank you for entering my challenge! There were many great entries, but this one put a real smile on my face. When creating a shot with multiple versions of the same person, it's always a bonus if there's a feeling of completely distinct personalites between the different characters, and I love the contrast between the cool guy on the bike, and the guys around him :)

Thank you for entering my challenge! There were several entries with multiple reflections, but the lighting, composition, colour palette, and expression on the woman's face, all work well together to create a really engaging image. Also well done for not catching the photographer in the image - it's no so easy when the reflections show more angles :)

Thank you for entering my challenge! A multiple selfie is always a bit more of a challenge than taking the photo of someone else, but this shot embodies pretty much what I was hoping for in this contests. What I really like is the fact that each version of you has a different outfit. And the fact that several overlap means extra attention had to be given to make it look seamless :)

See more contest details

This contest is for your photos containing more than one version of either yourself or someone else, in the same photo. Multiple versions of the same person can be created by taking several photos from the same angle, under the same lighting conditions, and then blended together in an editing programme. Or you could get creative with the use of mirrors and other reflective surfaces, or webcams and screens too. Try to see how many you can fit into one image yet make sure it still looks natural. I am really looking forward to seeing what you create.

Thank you for entering my challenge! I really like the different characters you have created in the one image - each of which we can easily relate to or recognise from any car journey. I think if you had been able to change outfits/hairstyle/glasses etc for each of the versions, it would have lifted it to the next level :)
