Hi Folks

This is the 2nd one of ARTWORK series.
The well's picture was taken in my village the typical village's well in the evening and the peacock photo was taken in Islamabad.

The photo merge/manipulation is done with the help of Photoshop :)

It was the low light situation since the time was after sunset so i've darken the peacock image which was originally in colored.

The peacock in my opinion is not much prominent as it should have been but considering the evening time i guess it goes pretty wel :)


Thanks for viewing have a good day.
Cheers

yar jahanzeb honestly speaking, one really has to strain the eyes to spot the peacock in the picture, and thats what i think is the weak point. your title says peacock and the well. the well is well demonstrated but the peacock gets merged or lost with/in the backgound..

perhaps black and white was not a good choice for this one, keeping the peacock in mind.

Hi Jahanzeb
The pp is well done, however the peacock is a beautiful bird but definitely not easy to spot as it blends in too much with the rest.

Just a suggestion.
Leave everything b&W except the bird leave it in its natural color, it would really stand out. This is a technique often used with B&W and red. The other thing you could do is a split toning on the bird. It would be worthwhile to redo as I think the 2 shots combined would be terrific.

You can find the tutorial for it here.
