FWIW .... I agree.

thanks....I think I have another exposure so I can replace that. Trying to decide what level of weird is working.

This is how I would have done it.

It's an abandoned room, so make it look haunted.

Put the camera on a tripod and have it take one picture with no balls or model.

Then throw in the balls and model and take a second picture with the same positions.

In post, overlay the first image to create a ghostly affect.

The only thing I don't like with the one you have is that the model's right ankle appears broken.

haha...that's almost exactly what we did here but I didn't want the balls ghostly and see through. Anyway...it was a lot of fun.

The basket balls do not have corresponding shadows

Yes, that double exposure is a bit disturbing

Too many subjects, what is the main subject?

Different crop, if you crop at the bottom of the trunk, [eliminating ground level stuff] the image becomes stronger in my opinion

Love your work and off the wall ideas

Yeah...I might try cropping it up a bit higher to bring the model more into the lower third. The plan originally was to remove the trunk and table but I ended liking them enough that I thought it was more unique than another mysteriously floating model. I'm already just cutting off a table leg so maybe a bit more of a cut would be tolerable.

The balls actually do have corresponding shadows but only from one of the flashes which was high and very to the left so the shadows are a good deal away and often missing from the balls. I think I'll fake in more that correspond to both flashes.

Thanks for your comment!!
