This is a combo of a couple of photos from my gallery taken November of last year. I've been studying all the various photo combinations here for a while, and finally gave it a try tonight, although a cautious start. The leaves and the farmhouse are from the same area (Ozark Mountains-Arkansas). I would really appreciate some constructive criticism here! Maybe next time I'll try combining 3 or 4. Thanks...

Hay, Nice to see you. I love the filters you used. the shadows on the leaves are great too.

You've done a great job & combined these really well, the only part that bothers me is the bottom left corner, I don't think the blurring works too well. Great colour in those leaves, contrasts really well with the subtle colour of the background. If you use more than 2 photos it gives you a lot more options & effects to play with.

wow, what a step away from the zone... and it looks fabulous. my suggestion if you decide to consider the mission: highlihgt some of the veins in various leaves ... that way you have a focus on the leaves and then the backround will seem to be even more separate.if that is what you are trying to achieve. but..... what do i know,lol. i love the softness and the bulge to the leaves. the colored blurring gives one the sense that this is from the past captured for a moment. nice work, and welcome to the other side! lol
