Dreamlike quality created by the overlapping of the double exposure. With the picture set against a black background the sense of distance created by the contrast by the lighter leaves of one exposure and the darker leaves in the background is enhanced.

Exquisite.

Primo!

I am in alignment with those above.
I'm wondering, how many of these double exposures do you take before
finding one that works?

Thanks much for the kind comments. It can be a frustrating process
sometimes. Mostly because it's hard to get exactly what you visualize
to come out the way you thought it would. But then accidents can open
your eyes to different ways of doing things. I'm not that self-
critical or hard to please (relatively) so I'd have to say I have a
pretty high success(?) rate (50 percent or higher).

A 50% success rate seems pretty amazing (to me). You'd really be
frustrated if you had my success rate! *grin* If you get to the point
where you get exactly what you expect with every shot, you're not
experimenting. If you don't experiment, you're not going to learn or
evolve. You're definitely not a photographer who's stuck on one thing
and your work reflects that. You're going places - and taking us
places - that most don't. Thanks for participating here.

Thanks much, Paul. Yeah, in retrospect that percentage is probably
too high. And some of these "successes" are no doubt quite a bit
better than others. The successful ones seem to come in batches
and have something to do with the right light. I'm kind of
learning my way through these things. I did a little bit of
experimenting with multiple exposures years ago and then took it
up again last Spring before the leaves came in (and then after). I
was probably inspired by those Rob Hudson pictures I mentioned a
while back. Anyway I did a short series of pics at that time that
I called Thicket and I've messing around with them ever since. I
got that series posted at Another Place - an online landscape
photography site. The small pictures presented there don't show
much detail but here's the link:

I've posted some of these here and will no doubt post some more
but here they can be seen as one piece.

Seems very "alive". Thanks for the insights.
