A great idea, DJN: and nicely done!

They don't appear noisy, and I like the idea a lot.

Paul: no, at this resolution they look ok, but the high-res' version lacks detail.

This is so fun! I think doing one for each of your kids is a brilliant idea.

I like it - made me smile :-)

Great reflections, very smooth.

WAUW! I really like this image, everytime I see a picture of your kids I think this can't be done better. And everytime I see a new picture it's better then the one before, how do you do it? I like the whiteness in it and I'm wondering did you do a lot of post precessing for the tone? It's very pure.

I can't judge the technical aspects of the photo, but as a parent I think it's priceless. For me, the technical side of photos are only part of it, more important *to me* is the story. I would _love_ to have images like this of my kids. Well done!

clever title. =)

I love the portraits of your children. Is it a "studio" shot or do you just like white in your apartment / house..? :)

Great - sitting here with a big smile on my face. Wish my kids were still cute (they're wonderful - but def not cute!)

I love it

wouaw. bravo !

fantastic idea, the reflections and expressions are great!

Kick Ass

well thats just perfect isnt it.
well done david!

Together they work well; I like how the reflections are so clear in the table, effectively giving you eight faces to explore. Even if it doesn't look great at high resolution on a monitor, I bet it makes a cool print.

Technical strength really takes a backseat here. I think as a photo, the humanity makes it leaps and bounds stronger than pictures of beaches.

I have seen many multiplicity shots and like them, but not love them. This shot however takes it to another level with the reflections and of course your daughters character. Very well done.

I just love this image, your doughter is so photogenic and your technique spot on, high key is so effective particularly with the reflections, that is a bonus,. What is abit of noise between friends. I thought you used noise removal software? Did that not work?

David Re:emulsion transfer I have posted an image this evening which may be of interest.

Wow, she is so photogenic, and her different moods really add to the overall feeling.

She's lucky to have a dad like you. When she's older, I think she'll appreciate all of the shots you take of her very much.

Beautiful photo, almost like reading over a period of time.

great idea.. and good photos.. :)

Quadruplets! Awesome! :)

i love it! harmony makes such a great subject

wow! you must be a perfectionist! From what I can see, this is technically wonderful. A great concept and superbly executed. She is an adorable subject and I really like how this turned out. Beautiful.

At this size there is nothing to complain about technically, and as a family snap I bet the emotional value far outweighs any technical considerations. This is the kind of thing that makes grandparents really happy.

Clearly well thought out before hand to make sure those reflections would be whole and not chop her head off. I love the high-key-ness and her expression on the left-most photo is priceless.

great idea and i like her expressions very much. very good work.

I like the one on the right the most. Overall a very nice shot and nice concept to have four pics presented as one.

Lolz
Brilliant!

Like a documentary of a photo shoot. She starts out keen and slightly nervous and goes through confident to end up board and a bit bolshy. Like it a lot, reminds me of every time I've shot a set up portrait. Harking back to the HDRs. I don't really like the straight colour versions, they just look odd, but the two toned and the final shot have worked very well. I've played around with this feature since I got CS2 and never really been happy with the results, perhaps you're right and going too far into the shadows is my problem (I usually shoot a seven stop range). However, I've just tried re-doing a couple, manually combining the exposures in PS, with much better results.

beautyful! it's emotional and "mystic" like the pictures I would like to take!
how did you worked on the reflections? the ones on the last two shots seem very real, like if it was just one shot.
thank you if you answer to me. I'm not a photographer, but I just begun to take some "artistic" shots with a very very cheap digital camera, hoping they're better than my english:)! ...maybe one day they should good as yours:)!

Pardon my ignorance everyone, but is this shot constructed in PS? I've heard of people using double exposures for effect within the camera. But 4?

Thanks.
Eric

All of your children are both beautiful and lucky. They may not realize it now, but their lives are being documented and (may I add...) quite wonderfully! I love the photo and thank you for sharing your family's pictures with us!

Love the shot and the way the image is set up.

I dont understand how you did this? did you cut them out in athe pics and add them as different layers in photoshop? how is she in four places but in one pic?

Very nicely done. I love how her expressions and body language vary, and I think that doing one of these for each of your children would be a wonderful idea!

I also agree with Mary - your kids have a real privilige, having such a great photographer as a father. I'm sure that, later on, they will treasure every photo that you have taken of them, and probably have a lot of fun looking back through your archives! :-P

Best regards, and keep shooting! :)
Ben

It's still technically quite weak... - I'm glad you're not my tutor...talk about demanding :-)

Arn't you a lucky pops - she's so gorgeous :)
Looks like she probably gets away with murder too ;)

I think this is amazing! What a fabulous photo.

beautiful!! I am going to try this too... but I don't have such a sweet model :(

Thanks everyone.

great shot! if the quality isn't there i can't tell.....love the idea though.......

Your daughter is so photogenic! This shot is very cute and sweet. Awesome! :)

Great shot (s)... Like this a lot, it's intriguing...

This is a really great composition the reflection on the table is especially nice. The style of this shot is a lot like Rebekka's shots from FlickR.

thanks for the answer DJN
