By uploading your image you are agreeing that this is your original work. Also, by uploading your entry you are certifying that all models used in the image are free from print and publication restrictions (Contest winners will be required to sign a statement verifying this.) . i'm thinking of taking this further than a combination of two images

Been interested to see how you finish this.

time waits for no man...

Well, I like the monochrome palette choice and the time/mortality angle. Will watch out for the final :)

i'm entry # 51

I'd like to know how you knocked that sky out so well. As a guy who just spent over 2 hours removing a mother from a portrait with her 2 children, I'd be grateful for any tips. I used a combination of magic wand, magnetic lasso, polygonal lasso, and the eraser. BTW, it looks great!

one of the tricks I used is to copy / paste the Treeline into either a quick-mask or layer mask or alpha channel, with a few modifcations to the contrast / brightness, and the eraser, I was able to make this channel a selection - to cut out branch spcae out of the "watch" image - plus I set one of the layers to muliply, this made the edges less obvious. Agreed , there is a quicker way , but I wanted a new background , so I used a new image to fuse into the original.. High rez images made smaller also hide pixels you miss.
