Lee,
Thank you.
This, and a couple of others that I have done recently, are actually double exposures.
I took one shot with my lens cap on, making a totally black picture. Using that as my background, I copy and paste, or layer another picture on top of it.
Then I go in and with a black eraser, erase any lingering background from the second picture. The result is something that is floating in space and almost three dimensional, don't you think?

Steve, thanks for sharing the pics and especially for sharing the technique. I was wondering how you were getting that perfectly deep black background!
