Triptych: When a Single Picture Won't Do

Challenge #3 in the Telling the Story series. Hosted by CharlesB58.

Challenge has finished

There are times when a sequence of photos does a better job of telling the story than a single image. This is a very specific challenge requirement for a "triptych". Combine a sequence of three images into a single submitted image that tells more of the story than a single image would. See additional rules for more details.

Announced:

Sunday, 4th October, 2009 (GMT)

Submissions:

Sunday, 11th October, 2009 – Saturday, 17th October, 2009 (GMT)

Voting:

Sunday, 18th October, 2009 – Saturday, 24th October, 2009 (GMT)

Processing rules:

Combine three separate captures into one final image. Each of the three captures must be separated by some sort of frame or border.
Verticle or horizontal layout is acceptable.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

High speed burst sequences are not the only way to accomplish things. The images can be taken several seconds to several days or months apart. As long as they present a cohesive sequence that tells the story of an unfolding action or passage of time, it's acceptable.
NO still frame captures of video sequences please.

Place - Ramnagar fort, on the banks of the river Ganga, near Varanasi, India. I decided a triptych was the best way to show off the antics of these guys on the Varanasi ghats. They were ready to do repeat the show multiple times just to show off their diving skills! Shot from atop the Ramnagar fort looking down onto the Ramnagar ghats in late evening sunlight.
