What a creative, fun edit, Lillias! The banjos fit perfectly.....and their playing is just pure fun! Thanks to Google.

Good idea to look for the different poses, Sepiana. The action works well surrounding the main image.

kdcintx, thanks! I can't take credit for their look. Pixabay has several images of that young man (different poses). Sheer luck!
