Saw how to do this in the tutorial section and decided to give it a try. I didn't like how my hands are blurry, but it was fun doing it!

The expressions are great, as is the framing. It'd be great if the hands were slightly less blurred - double exposures are tough. The background is a little distracting.

The picture is great in itself, but far from Basic Editing!

That double exposure was a lot of work for an out-of-focus picture.

Interesting idea. Getting farther away from the background will incread the void feeling- right now the background is a little distracting. Good job trying something new!

Being an Astro's fan, Cubs lose sounds good to me. :)
Should be a tight race all year.
Funny photo, very original idea, nice job.

Cool effect, nice job. How did you do this one?

Idea is great, execution is ok. Expressions are just right. Focus is like the Cubs - "almost". Stilll - an enjoyable take on opposites.

Very nice attempt at a longer exposure or double exposure. But the lack of focus, lighting and contrast really hurt this shot. Also the backdrop is very distracting with the folds and such. But keep trying, the expressions are priceless! :) A 3

Funny shot but it looks like it was taken in one of those dollar photo booths at the mall .

The draping in the background is distracting, as is the lack of contrast between it and the subject. That being said, I give you kudos for trying something technically challenging. It stands out on that merit.

It's blurred. You should have used a tripod.

Holy cow !

This shot needed more light to allow a quicker shutter. I like the twins and the acting is very well done. A good choice on black and white.

VERY blurry and a bit to grey for me. Could use a contrast boost to make it black and white instead of grey.

Interesting idea, but it came out a little too unfocused. It's tough to do something like this too effectively, I feel, so props for your efforts!

I have seen this expression on my brother-in-law a MILLION times. Great take on challenge.

Nice use of long exposure time.

I think if you had something to rest your elbows on it is likely that you could have eliminated some of the blur in your hands.
