I didn't take this specifically for this challenge thus you don't see any elaborate set-up. Oh and i am not fluent with Photoshop etc. so all my images are pretty much stock - that's why you don't see any post-processing.

Invis man should have at least something to show a wet foot print, floating flower. Lady in picture to centered, maybe align/level the picture. Put her in the right or left third.

Surely you could have come up with a better super power for Rosa Parks than "Metal Woman"! lol! :) Nicely shot, but composition needs a little work as her feet are touching the bottom of the frame.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

While many will see this as a shoe-horn I am going to put forth that you have the foundation to build upon. The title carries the picture more when it should and it should be the other way around. "Show, don't tell". Hmmm, how to show that this woman might be more than a statue and there is an invisible man standing next to her...One thought is to have taken separate pictures of a person wearing glasses standing next to her holding out flowers to the statue, a picture of someones eyes, and another picture of someone holding glasses/sunglasses in the same orientation & position as the previous shot of someone holding out the flowers to the statue. Then it is just the selecting the objects from the other shots (eyes, glasses and flowers), feathering the selection to avoid hard edges, copying and placing them in separate layers over the main photo which would be this one. You could have those flowers hovering in mid-air in one layer. The eyes would be resized to fit over the eyes of the statue and opacity turned down to maybe 80% just enough to show through to suggest this is human woman who morphs into metal. And lastly the selected glasses hovering where a man's face would be. Thus we see a courtship of an invisible man giving the gift of flowers to his lady of metal. Just a thought.

Rosa Parks?

IMO, for this to have worked you would have needed the shadow of the invisible man (or "something" else). I suppose you mean the invisible man brings the flowers ... not sure this story ties up for me for this challenge
