dpullum Loc: Tampa Florida

Lowes Building Supply is my photo florist. Two photos were taken that I used one side view and one down the tube of the Calla Lily. Combined by simply clone A to B photo followed by trimming etc. Topaz deNoise, Detail, were used as is normal for photos from my Sony HX50 20mp pocket super zoom.

The photo was then converted to "Golden Age" in Dynamic AutoPainter, $89, http://www.mediachance.com/dap/
The Lily is smeared and looks like wind blew it.

Comments Welcome + or - and suggestions for improvement. [PS: I realize it is March, but May rhymed with day. ]

Bigwolf40 and Snap Shot, thank you I will pass the complements on to my software.... tho combining the two shots took some time. Increased the canvas size of the one on the left and cloned in the one one the left. I have commented on this technique before and for those who do not know: 1) make the photos equal in size using resize 2) open both and use the windowing column to cascade, tile, or what ever the particular edit program calls it; different programs are similar, names for having two active photos side by side differ. 3) use clone tool

Yes the operation could use programs like cut-out, or select and blend, or Topaz Remask. But, I chose to KIS, keep it simple using tools that even the most basic "editware" has. Feel free to play.
