I do, cos then I wouldn't have to keep posting daft pictures of myself & my brothers.
My homage to a classic album cover. Google it*, if you don't know what I'm refering to.
All shot using local locations & "models". No idiots were hurt in the making of this shot.
(* That's Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here, for those too young to remember).

may I ask Davey what is that attached to you on the right please? clever work
Well you were never going to ruin a best suit by setting fire to it for real, were you!
I'm old enough to recognise the reference. The fire isn't totally convincing (maybe add some blur to simulate heat haze?), but the combination of the figures is great, looking at the handshake I can see the join but only just!
I see lots of scope for more Classic Nomates Album Covers - Abbey Road for one...
Moira
just made me give it a play ! still one of my favs 
Great fun!!!!! Quite well done too! Congratulations.
Among the best albums you can never get tired of listening to.

Nice one, good fun. Excellent effect. How did you set your brother on fire?
I don't know the Album cover,just found out, I think that the CD will be on the way.. but I remember the song.I dug up my hard drive.It is also in Echoes (the best of pink floyd disc 2).I'm listening 
Thank you for the music...
Best wishes to you.

Thanks all for your kind comments, and especially to Matt for his award.
Moira - the flames are about how they appear in the original. Admittedly, they did it with film & a darkroom, as PS & digital probably hadn't even been thought of yet.
Looks to me as though the chap on the right was a bit scared of the bloke on the left!
Clever work.
Wouldn't you be scared if he could set you on fire, Neil?
This is an excellent attempt at a classic Pink Floyd album cover. Even without seeing the title I knew where the inspiration had come from. I would be tempted to add more flames than you have already, to make the image more dramatic, and to match the original.
It really is a great image and deserves to go into the WAPS Annual Exhibition, let's hope the judge is a Floyd fan!
