We've seen many pics where the subject of one photo is places on another. And they usually look like they've been stuck into the other pic. This one... okay, he might have been a little to the left. Okay, he might have been a little smaller.
But this one just strikes me as being much more creative than most. And here's what is done so well here...
Look at his feet.They are disappearing into the close. He's not stuck onto the background. He's actually walking into the clouds. He's moving. He's actually there.
That little detail makes it stand out. Very very well done.

This site is usually loaded with superlatives for very ordinary photos. Yours... especially the first three are indeed superlative. How nice it is to see something special.

The Camel sign in Times Square was a classic. It goes back as far as I can remember (and I'm 87 now.) I don't know if it is still there. (Does someone know?) I haven't been there in 26 years now.

A true photograph doesn't need to be explained.
Precisely. TRUE! That is why we don't need the inclusion of all the (often stupid) captions that accompany photographs that are posted. I just wish we could let the photographs stand on their own two feet. We should be allowed the courtesy of being allowed to see the pic and interpret it as each of us sees fit. I object to being told (through captions) what to think.
I sometimes feel that more time is spent in coming up with a caption than making the photo worthwhile. Perhaps we need a section of photos without captions and without comments. JUST PHOTOGRAPHS.

What’s the difference between a picture and a photograph?
That question could bring on multiple pages of theories and thoughts.
But in the context of this thread, it is (more than likely) superior v inferior.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Be careful... your snob is showing.

On my trip to Pecos, NM, I traveled with my Nikon D7100 with a Tamron zoom (16-300) and my iPhone XR.
I consider this pic fairly decent. Which did I use... Nikon or iPhone?
Yes it was iPhone + Lightroom. I thought we were just going for lunch... so left the Nikon at the ranch.
I've done better and worse with each.

In making this comparison... let's not forget the "snob" element.

My oldest friend has a Frank Lloyd Wright house (built for his parents in the '40s) in Pecos. I visited him there a couple of years ago. Now there is nothing in Pecos proper. But just south on Rte 63 is the Pecos National Historical Park... worth seeing. And if you're in Pecos... take rte 63 north all the way up into the canyon... along the Pecos River.

A very appealing shot and very nice processing!
I owe all my processing abilities to Anthony Morganti and his online Lightroom videos. And maybe a little to my eye and what I perceive as a good photograph... trying to see what should be maximized and what should be minimized in as photo when processing.

Thanks, but your right it was a bit soupy.
I thought that your fog pic had so, so many wonderful possibilities for many different interpretations.
SinceI don't get out much with my camera anymore... and having always enjoyed post processing more than actually taking pictures.... and having just today watched Anthony Morganti's short video about the using the Orton Effect. I saw your shot and thought I would take the liberty of using it, plus other of my favorite edits to show how I (and I alone) see your photo... especially since is a fog shot.
Yours is a great photo.

I'm posting this, not for its photographic pros and/or cons. They are phone snapshots.
I'm posting it simply for its interest.
My daughter brought me this oyster mushroom growing kit. I followed directions for a week. The first pic is just before harvesting... growing from nothing out of the box. The second pic is the delicious result of my efforts.
Fun.

Nice male Bluebird, have a number of them here but I work hard to attract them.

[/quote]That is a fine shot.
Here in Chapel Hill we never see a bluebird in our yard. But on Friday my new bluebird house arrived from Amazon. I put it up on Saturday. All day Sunday there was a pair of bluebirds already building a nest inside... continuing today (Monday).
As the saying goes... build it and they will come. Worked here. (Don't comment on my lousy pic though)
