***** comments *****
I shot this 3 different days to try and get what I visualized. Still not 100% happy. Post-processed the heck out of this (way more than I ever do).
Trying to keep the chalks in place was a pain in the neck. I used Play-Doh to keep the uprights in place. The outside pieces were moved multiple times to make it look semi-balanced based on the camera angle perspective.
