Challenge: Leap Day: In The Style Of: Natsumi Hayashi (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-7D
Lens: Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Location: Davenport, IA
Date: Mar 6, 2012
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 6400
Shutter: 1/500
Date Uploaded: Mar 6, 2012

 First off, I got this idea from the website below.
//www.behance.net/gallery/Dreamers/313618

This was a lot of fun... besides a wrecked room and a bed hanging from the wall.
First we cleaned out a room and pinned a light weight foam mattress to the wall. We used some work lights to fill the room and a spot directed at the person. Next we added a picture and set it on the window ledge (sideways). We added a pillow pinned to the mattress and I thought the blanket would be a nice touch too.

That sucks, but the top 5 always need to get verified.

Ahhh, took me until the competition is closed to realize you are laying on the floor with the pillow/matress stacked against a wall. Painting is on the floor to give illusion of being on a wall.

As for the comment about not sure how it meet the "leap" challenge, it was said "in the style of (someone)", their pictures denote people doing everyday activities while flying. This is an everyday activity and well thought out to depict "sleep flying".

I still love this image, great job!

conceptually awesome, compositionally, it suffers from excessive softness.

Now this is cool.

The idea is pretty good, but I don't like very much the light and there is a lot of noise in the shadows

Wow.. how'd ya do this one?? My only clue is those two little peaky shadows on the wall, and I have NO idea what they are. If you fell from somewhere and landed on your side like this ...Ouch Hope folks don't get stuck in leaping is jumping in the air.. I think this is new and refreshing take on the challenge +++ points for thinking out of the box

This must have been a nightmare to pull off (no pun intended) I am curious to know the details.

Great shot! Seems like it would have been difficult to achieve. Can't wait to read the photographer's comments on this shot.
There is also a "dreamy" feel to this photo, which is very fitting, given the message being conveyed here. Great job levitating!

Nice illusion! Looks quite comfy. If the wall outlet could have been hidden better, might have added a little more to the illusion. One of my favorites from this challenge though!

great idea - well done - could keep rising!

Oh, wow. Quite clever and truly well done. My only nit is the overly orange and blotchy skin tones.

Wow, that's pretty good. Love to know how you did this.
