Did this thread just suddenly die? I thought it was a fun thread.
What's a "12x butterfly" by the way? Sounds like something that would take revenge on a hapless entymologist.
I never thought of the concept of combining multiple flash source locations, but it makes perfect sense, especially with digital. Combining multiple film scans together would be extra work just twiddling with the alignment alone. The image looks smooth and doesn't suggest it was cobbled together from multiple shots. I guess the only thing that bothers me is the shadow, but I don't blame you because fake cast shadows are a tricky business. I remember having to mask out people shot against white seamless and then adding in fake drop shadows underneath their feet for sales flyers. Looked so goofy! Heh! Have you tried putting this composition into a separate garage shot to make it look like a real location shoot? That'd be cool.
Late to this thread, but I was certain you guys would want to meet my cat (this is the photo I sent when my eight-year old niece complained that the cat's eyes were closed in a previous photo).
Hey! Found the larger version in the Gallery...
