Look who found at Portland! (UK).
I'm interested to see how this loads on UHH - I've had some issues using Lightroom-edited pics when they're sent to Photoshop and back - will it appear as I see it on my screen? Soon find out!
Your comments and critique appreciated - I don't expect everyone to like the effect but it does remind me of an old postcard.

It's a good attempt and a lovely concept. However, watch the shadows. The shadow of the old man walking doesn't match the shadows of the posts supporting the rope. Shadows and the direction and quality of light are give-a-ways when doing compositing.

Yes, it was a rather hurried job Bob. Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated.

I have that same problem. The older I get, the faster my shadow travels ahead of me.

I agree with the problem with the shadows. There is also the perspectives. The man seems, to me, to be around seven feet tall. Moving him forward may adjust the impression as to his height. (Unless he is that tall.)

Great attempt, though.

I tried to judge his height from other people I’d removed and the height of the posts - looking at it now I agree he could be reduced a tad. Many thanks for contributing, it all helps to keep me on my toes.

Must have bought Pierce's levitation app.

Pesky shadows, but the old gent seems to be enjoying his stroll through this lovely scene with a very picturesque lighthouse and what appears to be decent weather. I'm enjoying it.

I reckon the points raised are fair enough Erich, it was a hurried job - just couldn’t resist plonking-in our old friend from previous posts. The path was calling for him!
Anyway, glad you like. It was a glorious day.
