The b&w rendition is beautiful. But I do not understand why you got this posted in full size (I can blow it up on my screen to more than full-screen size) whereas the color one is still small. I'd like to see it in full size in colour, too.

The dolls head is an old image, can't find the original, I sometimes set the camera to B&W in camera.
The stone head illuminated light feature was was originally an Amber colour as in this image.
P.S. my editing skills are limited , not sure why it's coming up this size :unsure::)

This looks really good, Bozzie. The first post with the tiny version did not show the colours and details so well. And if you tweak it a little (making the background darker to isolate the object more, adding a little contrast and sharpness) this photo is well worth a place on the wall in a nice frame. I'll add the result of my playing with it (not meant as a criticism, rather as a compliment showing how much I like it. Click attachment to enlarge).
Maybe we could share more double exposures, I'm always taking some in between.

Yes, I see what you mean, it looks good darkened down, I mainly use Snapseed for my editing, I still occasionally use and home develop B&W film as well which I scan, and nearly everything is done with Snapseed as its quick and easy , and I can be a bit lazy.
Regarding double exposures , sometimes I use old images, and sometimes I'll purposely take photos with double exposures in mind , although they don't always work.
I'll be posting more at some point and look forward to seeing some of yours (y)
