How would you define this image? Style? category? Is it a keeper?

Thank you for any input you have!

    I see a young attractive and naked woman, so that's good enough for me!
    I admire the skill to overlay images like this that I don't have.
    I don't know what story it is trying to tell or feeling this is supposed to evoke in me.....if any.

    It's a good composite and I would keep it. Categories and labels don't much matter to me. The composition is pretty good. One thing that I don't much like is the left edge--the desaturation and lack of definition don't integrate well with the rest. Otherwise, well done.

    I like it... given the myriad ways you could have combined the composite, I think it works... agree with Richard about the de-sat.
    There is a strange tension between fantasy and reality... we know intellectually that she is not real, but our eyes tell us otherwise.
    And, boy... they sure are making mannequins life-like these days...

    As it is, I am very fond of doll/mannequin/anthropomorphic images anyway... the more Absurdist, the better.

    I think it's a keeper Sam... a "creative fantasy" perhaps?

    I agree it's a keeper. I like weird photos like this.

    Thanks!!

    I always appreciate when people take time to help me out.

    I can sometimes drift into the strange and need to have outside input.

    While the input won't change how I feel about it, it will let me know how others perceive it.

    I like the "creative fantasy" title.

    Several things leap out at me.

    The 'double halo' effect around some bits.
    The fairly tight / narrow fall-off around other bits ... like a blurred stroke (if I can use such a word with this subject matter :) )

    Am definitely unsure about the 'molten kneecap' effect too ...

    Interesting experiment ... but, to my eyes, the way the elements are blended needs re-visiting.

    For me it's a body-soul struggle. The bodies are so, perfect, in a manufactured sort of way. But the expression on the face is so full of angst and longing. Struggle of body and soul. I love this. Thank you!! --Carter
