Kiss

Kiss by Xu Hongfei (Campbell’s Cove - Sydney). I know it is an unusual
perspective of the statue, but all his statues are equally unusual. So
this angle makes the kiss implied - I hope. I hope you like it.

have not seen a technique like this before. its very interesting. not sure if I like it, but it did make me think, that's a good thing !

Yes - interesting choppage - did you take a single whole image first and then add the black or did you take separate image chunks and line them up?

NIce technique! Adds an element of interest to the subject.

Thank you for your kind comments. The angle I chose was to add interest.
The picture above was to be part of a triptych ( below), but at the last
minute I thought it would be too large and take away some impact.
The pictures above is one picture with a black layer on top on which
I have drown rectangles and removed them to expose the lower layers;
the same with the picture on the right of the triptych. The centre picture
was a close up picture that I have cropped into a square as the centre
piece.

with all the above comments, the technique is unusual and adds interest. I would suggest cloning out the communications tower in the background, just behind the head, in the central image.
