Part of my weekend was spent watching a talk on Camversation.com (a great site that puts together some interesting talks and they are very cheap - they're live but you get two weeks to watch a recording if you wish). The talk was the first in four or five on ICM. This one covered woods and trees. Then I rushed off to have a go. Didn't get much worth saving but two or three might appear in composites - which raised another question, how to add a figure to an ICM background? I added a copy under the figure and Motion Blurred it in Ps, then faded the top copy as required. How do you think it worked out? Your critique will be appreciated.

Hey! you did a great job! I do see a little bit of movement on the gentleman's legs, but it is so minor it's hardly a distraction, except if it's intentional which looks like it's okay with me!

It’s definitely intentional Veronica, he was just walking too slowly! In truth, it was more difficult to get a ‘realistic’ intentional movement than I had imagined! I’ll keep trying.

Again I am a day late!!! the party is on page 3 and most have gone home.

The man is fading into the ICM blur background ... in so doing he becomes at one with the whole.

Don’t worry about being late Don, it’s always good to have your super-observant opinion. Much appreciated, many thanks.

I do a lot of ICM in a local park; but I've never tried to use them in a composite. I really like how this one came out He's not really blurred; but he fits in well.

Thanks Erich. It’s not easy deciding how to make a figure suit the ICM background. I’ve previously taken figures within the ICM shot and not been happy with the result, so I shall persevere with this method.
