Some will say the leaves are a distraction, I say they work quite well. Without them, seems unfinished. You have added just enough to not be cluttered. Love the golden hour tone and think you deserve a well done with a high five.

Placing those two figures up against the bridge as giants really shook me up for a minute. Wow, a really creative composite.

Thanks Erich. More work is needed and really not sure when I can can get back to it.

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.

I like both. Altho, I'm leaning to the second one as a favorite. A little noisy but I really do understand why. Title is perfect for this image. Great imagination.

Well done Erich. Compositing is so much fun altho not so much when AI takes over. It's ruining our imaginations. However, I do like the cartoonish appearance here. I have been trying to learn a simple way to create cartoon characters from some of my images.

As an ex sailor whose never been on a sailboat I can understand what is about or may happen by what is visually shown. IMO, a great action shot and I would hope you would have taken a series of shots. Everything in this image has its own purpose, buildings, haze, etc. Those are not overall important to me in this image, altho they do make up for the overall image of ... "it is what it is", which is an excellent action shot. How would I have processed it? No one knows, not even I but I think you did an excellent job from beginning to finish Dave. I'm sure we will see parts of this image in a composite somewhere down the road or maybe out to sea. LOL

I like the results of this image. However, I still struggle with the AI world. I may come around but can not figure out why. In some sense I fear that AI is taking over so we agree what has been created from a computer rather than human intelligence?

Great, what I like is that it's a mystery to me on what I'm seeing here. Chairs? I will have to study more and maybe have the conclusion of something totally off the wall.

Yeah, what you see is what you get may not always be what we see. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion because I believe everyone sees things differently. What's art to one may be junk to someone else. I very rarely delete an image because if I can remember where I have stored the said image, I may use it later in a composite for IMO, art. Thanks for the subject matter.

More from camera club model night.
Great photo shoot John. I like both but the B&W is striking in my opinion. Not that it's B&W, (that helps as well) it's mostly the pose and expression.

I really like the 2nd image street scene! As far as the composite I tend to agree with Linda.
Thank you. I too, like the street shot of the two. I have a couple more. There was just something puzzling about them that caught my attention. I can only speculate but will actually never know.

It seems the Roebling family had some interesting engineers - John, his son Washington and Emily, Washington’s wife. They were all involved with Brooklyn Bridge according to my search. Interestingly, I also found a straw poll of ‘the most famous engineer’ and it included Emily but neither of the other two! That makes the poll rather meaningless I reckon.
Look forward to seeing your revised composite Dave.

Yeah I knew of the Brooklyn being a sister model or vise versa, not sure which one came first tho. Was not totally aware of the Roebling family. Still at the drawing board and may be for a while with improvements.

I think it was a great combination of figures! Yeah, the man's hand doesn't touch the bridge. But, so what. The feet in the water add a touch of reality. Nice work!
Thank you for commenting, finally someone is on the same page as I. LOL. No, really I have to agree with you but there are some things needing corrected. I have discovered and I'm sure you will agree, composites are always under construction. I've got some a few years old that are still in the construction zone. Not sure exactly where I stand with this one. May be in the water for awhile ... maybe.
