[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Composite work from two images blend in CS3. All the photos were taken in UAE in different locations. Having fun of experimenting this kind of work being inspired by other members here in TL.

Pp work includes added light filter to achieved the dark BG and other parts of the image, contrast and sharpen.

Your constructive critiques are most welcome for further improvement.

thanks for passing-by

Wow man....stuning work. Not only very good pp, the photos itself are very good
The way you use the light to draw theattention to the upper right half works extremly well, as do the 'vanishing' perspective lines on the lower left side.
I'll put it up with my fav's

Hi Buddy,
I like the creative idea and the mood you've created. I do think that the PP work is a bit too obvious. The edges around the person do not blend perfectly with the rest of the photo. You either need to zoom in further when making the selection or, which I believe is better, feather your selection so that the edges are not this hard/clear. The rest of the cut and paste work is very good.
TFS,
Niek

Hi,
It is really magnificient work. Very good sharpness on the first grond. Very nostalgic photo. Congratulations.
actagaudi

Very good photos with so nice colors and focus . Back ground is fantastic colored.
Regards Zoran

Niek's given a good lesson for PP - but I have to say this is far better than I am able to manage with layers and so on. A great combination of images - well thought out with regards to lay out and how they fit together too..

Really good effort and result.

Cheers

Hello Buddy
This is very nice and artistic creation, good Artwork.
I like the light on ur mian subject and the dark mood in the b/g

I agree with Niek, there are many ways in PS through which u can blend the edges very fine, the most useful option is feathering. u can find it under SELECT > Modify > Feather, u can also make the edges smooth in the same menu SELECT > Modify > smooth and can adjust as required :)

Hope this will help

Hi Buddy

A great blending in my opinion
The tones of 2 layers are work nice in this shot
I like specialy the warm colors and different in contrast between the man in front and the back

TFS, Alireza
