My first one... A game of chess:

Which led to this:

There were only two chairs... I had to move the other two around to make it look like 4. I also liked how the light from the first and last pictures turned out. Like a morning/evening shot when it was nothing more than lights.






Which led to this:

--A Small Fire--

The phone cans is my favourite, nice ideas and nicely chopped.
 
Thanks... That's one of my favorites as well. I wanted to make a complete circle of interaction. A,B,C... A is handing the remote to B. C is propping his feet on B. A is talking to C w/ the cans. A circle of interaction.
 
Yeah i got it.
Maybe a small tut/explanation for members on just how you achieved the montages mate?
 
The remote had to remain in the exact spot, so it was being held up w/ a large cup. I simply took one pic holding one side of it & the same on the other, then PSed the cup out.

The legs up on my lap was much easier than I feared. I just put my feet up on a large black pillow, took the pic, then PSed most of the pillow out.

The cans were a little trickier... It was actually a white cable so it'd be a little stiffer and wouldn't be as flimsy as a string. I had to manage to get the cable out of view so I could split it into two different pictures. That way, I could move one side of the string/can and the other, while maintaining a mutual "no move" area. The string being out of the picture/falling behind the coffee table &/or being behind my shoe, created these areas. (Horrible explanation, I know)
 
I to did this a while ago they are fun for anyone interested the best tutorial I feel that covers it is this
 
Ever seen the one of the Asian guy who appears to be holding the camera, as he's taking a picture of himself, while another "him" is taking another picture in the background, while more hims are playing basketball behind that? It's rather impressive, very well done, and took a lot visualizing.
 
What was real funny was when a girl at work saw them and some coworkers managed to convince her I had twin brothers. We all got a good laugh out of that... She didn't think it was so funny.
