 By the title I am talking about Halldór Laxnes, the men on the cover of the book. One of Iceland's pride!

Minimal editing really... made the picture bw because the cover of the book he is holding is in bw :o) Had my husband hold the book in front of him - lighted with 3 lights... one on the book, one on Árni´s face and one from behind...

Thanks for the comments and votes :o)

A convincing if unsettling effect. Well done. I say that it's A.

I like this shot, I don't know (or care) if it is real or PS'd. I just like it... If I had to guess I'd say "real".

Great work. Sure not overly original but it is well done and it is your take. Son and Father?

Hmmm, tough call. The image on the book cover would have to be life-size for this to be real. I'm guessing this was created digitally.

nice job lining up the faces, simple and nice tones. Real? Top 5

the picture on the book is manipulated I think

Very interesting effect, and I do think this is real.

wow cool image, trying to figure out exactly what I'm looking at, looks like he's holding a book up to his face, one with an eerily similar looking albeit older person on the cover. I guess this could be real and it's very cool

Oh Awesome!!!

Not real but very clever. Drop shadow around fingers is to harsh.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/16/2011 06:27:45 PM
I love that.

Beautiful image, nicely pp'd. Clean and simple. Just wish the book was either more tilted or straight.
