A composite

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Very good work Chris,

I am not sure If I like the day and night approach but who am I to say when I wouldn't even have the first clue of how to start this :lol:

I do like the waves in the window though.

Chris,

Now that is great composition and finishing, you must be :D .

Puts my shot (s) to shame. I see that I have a long way to go. But by looking at other people's work, it then makes you more creative and add another dimension to your work.

Thank you for sharing, and once again brilliant.

Cheerio,
fozzie

I think it is a clever shot !
I assume the moon and the sea were the composits ?
I think it is clever because the sea and the moon do look fine at those angles.
I think it works well.

Yes the moon and the sea are the composite bits. It was one of those shots that was interesting to begin with and then I thought I might do a bit of adding. The two little characters were what made the shot in the first place and I thought that having them look towards the sea made for the empathy of far away places.

My head is spinning. This is like one of those surreal pieces of art - like a girrafe in a bathub, with a straw neck eating chicken pie. ;)

For all of me I figured it was the sign....Fine Chiddrens Apparel? Who bothers anymore, it'll just get ruined :shock: No, in all honesty, anyone can see with the moon that full and low in the sky the tides would definitley have shifted, so the children must be up to some trickery or witchcraft.....

I like it, it opens the imagination
