Dancer on a Music Box!

This shot of Anna is one of my favorites.  Apparently, I didn't have a lot to do one day and I decided to put this shot of her on a music box.   Here's the original shot of her during a dress rehearsal for The Nutcracker:

If you notice, that's a mirror behind the stand where Anna would go.  So along with all the other challenges with a composite image, I now had to put a reflection of her in the mirror and make sure it's appropriately out of focus.  An interesting, fun challenge.  Here's the result:

It's not the first time I've done a composite shot with Anna.  Here's the final composite of a shot I did with her as well.  I shot her on the main street in Crystal Lake, IL, on a sleep Sunday afternoon.  Then I added some studio shots of her throughout the image.
