Benny on the Moon
"Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship!!!" If you watched the 2014 Lego Movie, you are familiar with Benny the Spaceman and his insatiable desire for spacecraft. I took a moon inspired photo with him a few months ago, but only recently edited it to the kind of look I wanted, inspired partly by the "Fur'st Bodyscape" posted here recently. I also did a different edit in which he is floating in a complete void. I have included the before and both edits. Any critique is welcome, and I wouldn't argue with compliments either :).

Hey Matthew! I love these movies. So funny. And I like playing with the camera and toys do these are fun for me!
I like the first one the best when taking your title into consideration. I do wish he was looking into the frame instead of out though more like the third one. However, the third one has my creative mind going for some reason. I want to play with adding stars or the barest shadow of one of the aliens from Toy Story or a Lego lunar lander or .....
Keep these coming! And keep sane by playing with cameras and toys if you are still sheltering at home.
Those movies were always a blast (pun intended). The photo I based these off of was taken in February, and in the meantime, my moon was dismantled. I'm considering rebuilding it so I can do a reshoot. In the time since I took the first photo, I've learned so much more about photography, lighting, composition, and everything else that I think I could do a better job. I've been looking at the third one myself and trying to psych myself into more creative editing. It's only been a few days since I started crossing the line past global edits, so something like compositing stars into it would be a whole new thing for me. Traditionally, I've edited the bare minimum, but I must say I've enjoyed the creative side. Thanks for reading my ramble and thanks for the comment!
