Thanks, Dolores.
I'm not sure why they were all posed as they were, but it did make for a good photo.

I know now this is not a composition kind of made-up... and, well, I suppose all this comments say how good this photo is! And I also love the title and your creativity (as Claudia says). We get used to your excellent photos, Su, Portugal #123595Judith G. Secco May 26, 2019
Fantastic, Bill! Great imagination and wonderful job here.Gabriela Cunha May 26, 2019
This time, only when I opened the photo did I see the beauty of it... and they seemed like puppets or something just put there for you to take pictures to... very creative and beautiful

I was thinking like Susana, on this one. First thought, was cloning. Closer inspection and I was even more convinced. Then I noticed they all had their own markings and were distinct entities. About 23 of 'em, if I counted right. Not that it really matters how it is acheived. A good photo is a good photo. #123931
