Nice work, Rob. Subtle on the backdrop... meaning John's hair didn't suffer ;o)). A bit of burn brush around the inserted 'you' would improve the "blend", especially on your hair.

Hello Rob,

A beautiful double portrait in which Sir John Tulip are looking as pleasent as he really his and your smile is really nice. This picture reminds me one of my workshops given on the picture but deleted along with all shots. Anyways, I appreciate your postprocessing. Excellent composition, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Hi Rob,
The dutch connexion in action! Good idea for a new CIA poster. Nice PP work despite the lack in background and on the hair of John! Finally a man who complains about the deformation of the lenses. All the women will say to you, that they are thinner in person!

Thanks for your congratulations about my new state of grandmother! My first grandson was born the same day of my birthday! What a beautiful gift!

Hi Rob
Interesting technique and original setting. Just one problem. I suppose John is holding a camera but his hands hide it so he could be holding a circular mirror.
as for the maiden, I don't even know her name. Too bad.

Hallo Rob.
Hartstikke leuk gedaan.
Beetje vader en zoon effect, haha
Ja, van John kan je nog eens wat leren. toch ?
Well even opletten, er zitten maar 60 k-beetjes in, das een beetje weinig voor 2 tulpen.
Dan nog een paar vlekjes wegwerken in de achtergrond en de echte tulp ook zo'n glimlach geven.
Het frame doet het prima.
Groeten uit Berrege.

Hey you - tough guys - Rob you should have pasted in a non-smiling picture of yourself -

Dat is toch heerlijk om zo te kunnen spelen met foto's. Dus volgende keer laat je John even een foto van jouw maken, niet lachen - kraag omhoog - zonnebril ook opzetten - misschien wel B&W - en voordat je jezelf paste in de lens druk je beide zijkanten naar binnen voordat je validate et voila, een heel mager bekkie. Wacht vol spanning op the Men-in-Black!

Great shot, Rob!
And the PP work is perfect. It could as easily have been you that he was taking a picture of!
Excellent idea and double portrait -- though John looks like he should be in an identification line-up
:D

(Nice to see you back here at last, Rob)

Finally we get to see John come out of hiding from under his camera with a look of such determintation.
Very good composition with great PP.
And as far as your face being round you still look pretty handsome to me, and I'm an old timer.

Hoi Rob,
Leuk bedacht, origineel ! John ziet er een beetje "gangsta"-achtig uit, dat wel, maar ik weet dat ie ook kan lachen. :-)
Mooie plaat geworden!

Hi Rob.

I am back again, vacation and a little trip to a hospital have kept me away from TL and your great photos. And what are you forcing me to look at, mr. Tulip and his Canon.
Once again you have created a real good work, wonderful colors, a funny shot, great presentation, my compliments.
Nice to be back and to enjoy your photos again.

Best regards
Jens.

I meant to go to this one a few times already, Rob: To complete the illusion, you'd have to change the reflection in the suntglasses too! John looks very serious, as if on an important mission!

Must've missed this one! John looks very dangerous and important here, as if he were working for the FBI or CIA ! :)))
Your portrait in the lens tells everything about this grave picture!
Excellent idea!
