Looks pretty decent to me Dave.
What really needs attention IMO is the light from the lamp doesn't illuminate the dress and arm facing the loco.
Also, depending upon what your intention is for this image, perhaps a dark silhouette of Corfe Castle in the background.
Roger.

Yes, I know the light needs addressing on the lady, and there are one or two other issues with her that need sorting Roger. I did actually think about that Corfe Castle silhouette! I might give it a try. Many thanks for your thoughts on it, much appreciated.

This is a composite (which is unlikely to surprise you!), and has taken far too much time. Once again I've been trying to make something that's not quite suitable work - in this instance the lady that's in a spot of bother. I tried several shots from the same photoshoot, with different models, but this was the best I could do. And she is made from three separate shots in any case. I had no idea at the time of taking that I would use her in this picture - and that's where the problem lies. I'd find life a lot easier if I could pose models for a specific purpose, but my life is not like that and that is that! For those interested in the loco it is a broad gauge Great Western Railway replica and, again, contains various shots. You will need to download to see what's going on I think. Does anyone here actually arrange posed shots for compositing? I'd be interested to hear your experiences in this, and please feel free to add your images to the thread if you wish.

great concept, love the colors and the theme. the foggy ambiance really goes well with the image and is done nicely also. the crop feels a tad tight to me, a little more room on the sides might help. there is a site that is called DeviantArt that has stock and models posed for use in composites. You have to read the fine print, each person makes their own rules for the use of their art but I have found and used a great deal from there and often it is png, already cut out.

Thanks for your comments Diane, and the tip regarding DeviantArt - I do post there very occasionally. Unfortunately I have a ‘thing’ about using my own images for composites - which is quite restrictive! I have been known to borrow images, but it’s rare, mostly I only use mine.
Dave.

It is nice when all the elements are your own.
