Description
Two photos - one of a buddha from my garden & the other of a stack of hay bales - combined in Photoshop with layer blending & filter work.
Buddhist humor:
A Zen master visiting New York City goes up to a hot dog vendor and says, "Make me one with everything."
The hot dog vendor fixes a hot dog and hands it to the Zen master, who pays with a $20 bill.
The vendor puts the bill in the cash box and closes it. "Excuse me, but where’s my change?" asks the Zen master.
The vendor responds, "Change must come from within."
Please zoom.

Love the joke! And the image is very well done, I wouldn't have even thought about doing this! What a creative mind you have!

Lol---I've heard the "one with everything" joke, but the follow-up is great! (I was expecting something with the bill---the old joke about the duck buying chapstick, and he says "put it on my bill"...this is a great buddhist joke.) Claude, as a sibling to buddhists, I think this is a terrific image. Zoom is essential---one can't see the detail without it. The bales have been turned into a deep study of process and molecules, lots of striations and cellular things all over. And you brought out a criss cross pattern which (like all such patterns) unifies the image. But the buddha sits like a mirage coming through the morass, being all light, and taking on the rich reds and ambers of your piece. His legs are dissolved like he's emerging out of nothingness. And, being to one side, he somehow pulls the whole shot to him. Wonderful work. I'm sure he'd approve. Scintillating piece of blend-art, it's almost a dream... (There's one other buddhist joke, though not funny. A mendicant bows before buddha after he's been sitting for ages, and he says, "Master, may I speak with you?" Buddha says, "I'm all ears"...I told you it wasn't funny. Besides, if someone didn't know about his earlobes, the joke would die on the spot.)

I like your postwork which looks better if you don't zoom. (I tend to zoom everything I look at) I loved your Buddhist humor!!!!!!!
