hiya BusyB and welcome aboard! make yourself at home here! i've been trying to work on my skills at blending 2 pics also. it's REALLY hard for me to do. i'm not a good person to give you advice on blending, obviously. i can tell you I like the idea a lot and i think you've done a pretty good job overall. i do notice a place on the right which could be blended a tiny bit more maybe. and perhaps even a little on the left. give me a sec and i'll show you where. i really like the reflection of the flower on the snow but i'm wondering if you could blend that line there a bit more too? Keep up the great work!!!! this kinda stuff takes sooooo much practice...at least for me anyway. i just find all that blending verrrrry hard to do. sheila
