We The People - A Couple Composites

The first background image is of the Old North Bridge in Concord, MA, taken in 2016 on our stop in Boston. I've added the Paul Revere Statue from Boston, and the Minuteman Statue from the opposite side of the bridge. The Preamble lightly brushed in is from pixabay. The second is from Boston where the Paul Revere statue is, with The Old North Church in the background. Thought I'd share.

If you would like, Please click on the picture, doing so will link you to the gallery page where the shot can be seen in higher resolution and full page. Thanks for viewing and Have A Blessed Day !!!

Beautifully done Buck. I totally agree with the sentiment. Maybe increase the opacity on the words a little bit?

Thank You Jack, I appreciate it !!! I thought about increasing it but chose not to, to me too many people are losing sight of the Constitution. Thanks Again

Photo 1, great clear political office decoration commemorating our nation's founders. Hang it proudly.
Photo 2, the building is there, but competitive with the message.

Thank You Don !! Of the 2 the first is my favorite, the second one highlights not just the building but the two men who hung the 2 lanterns telling Revere by sea, without whom he wouldn't have known. Thanks Again !!

I agree with Don about the building competing with the rest. Partly, this is due to the sky and building being the brightest part of the scene. Also the details of the trees make the overall result a bit busy.

#1 is richly textured and toned, and feels more like a specific moment in time. For me, the result showcases the two men in a subtle, but very effective way.

Thank You Linda, actually I agree with Don as well. I didn't communicate what I intended in #2. I do have a rework in mind, which is how I originally intended to do it, and I appreciate your commenting as well as Don. Thanks Again !!

For me the second one is s better composite - but of course I don’t feel the emotional connection that you guys do.
