This photo is a studio made image that I made for the weekly theme "XXX".
I used an approach of axiomatic design trying to make all the elements independent, in a way that allowed me to rearrange and compose them in an easy way without the necessity to repeat many steps.
After the idea, I planned on paper the design and the studio shooting.
What did I want and how to get the results?
I shot several photos of the same rubber duck doll (that before used to be a bicycle horn) in several positions to obtain all the necessary parts, and also the eggs' images.
All the photos were repeated with different exposures and focusing distances to allow an HDR processing that was done in Photomatix.
Afterwards the mixing of all images was done with (many!) layers and masks in Photoshop.
And many hours, sorry I am slow :-)
Finally I took some time to choose the final format and framing composition that I hope I did well.
