April 2025 - Missing their brother
About the Image(s)
I tried some composite photography this month.
I had the person on the left up in the cloud (as in heaven). The other two are “Missing Their Brother”. I did them in black and white to differentiate from their brother and because they are sad and contemplating. The one in colour was usually smiling.
These are actually my three children. I sent it to the my son and daughter.

I think I understand from your wording that your son has died? Really sorry to hear that and cannot comprehand how you must feel.
What you have done is a lovely tribute to your son. The three images have been well combined and putting the lower two into mono works well. I like the hands over the face on your son. I have tried this myself but not so successful as this!!

Yes, my youngest son died in an accident in 2018. It is difficult to lose a child but I am happy to have moved through that with counselling. I was able to put this photo together without it being difficult emotionally. It is a tribute to him and also to my other son and daughter as to their feelings. Posted: 04/06/2025 16:56:06

Hi Rose. Very, very sorry for your loss. I have not tried any composite photographs before, but I like what you did with this. I think that you did a good job blending the clouds in with your son in the upper left corner. Keeping the other two in black and white helps with the message of the photograph. Well Done.
