I know I should have tossed these two pictures when I first made them back in 2012. I was cleaning out hundreds of old shots today and decided to combine these two just for fun. Couldn't decide whether to use the original BG (#1) or the darker one...like it really mattered!
Criticize all you like, I don't mind at all, and it was still fun.

Conceptually it's good and IMO that takes precedence over any technical considerations. Having said that, I think I'd prefer less noisy versions.

I like photo 1, in photo 2 the moon becomes competitive with the birds. "Fly me to the moon" is a great direct the viewer title.

I agree with R.G. and dpullum's comments about the differences in the two, and the title.

What I think works especially well is that the moon is less than full (a nice change of pace). The direction of flight is perfect for the composite, and I think the size of the geese is also.

I like it a lot, Jo! Many thanks for posting to Digital Artistry.

I like the first one the best and I really like that you found a use for older photos that were going to the bin. And you had a good time doing it. Win-win if you ask me.

Nicely done, Jo. I also prefer the first one.

Great shots, especially the combination of the two of them. I'd prefere the first one, as it shows the moon and the birds much clearer than the second one, also, the noise in the photos are much more obvious in the second.

I like the 2nd one better. I think a little denoising would help, too.

What a fun set, Jo, made more so by your narrative.
