Last night one of our members gave a demonstration on blending layers, masks and locking one layer to another to make changes to that layer only with hue and saturation etc. There was also using gradients and masks. He used stock pictures and there were two background pictures one girl (to be cut out) and some hair. We had the pictures put on our club site for any one who wanted to try. This is my effort, any critique welcome.
Very well done, but I find the young ladies skin just a tad to sharp. I makes her appear to be a china doll. In my opinion just soften the skin a bit.
On the other hand if that was your intention then its really great

That's much better. What did you do?
That was a real quickie, could do a lot better. Used Adobe Lightroom 5, changed white balance with color picker added a bit contrast, lowered the shadows then masked the animals and did some tweaking on them alone. Took about 7 minutes,\.
If image was raw format then could make it almost perfect

I make a habit of driving the 20 miles up St Vrain Canyon from Lyons to the Peak to Peak highway looking for moose. I was rewarded with these three females feeding along the road. I am not happy with my white balance. There is a bluish tint to the photos although I chose the cloudy selection on my white balance. Any suggestions?
I did just one

This shot was not a matter of "timing" but a matter of "combining" two separate photos. The tower was photographed about 15 or 20 years ago, the moon a little more than a year ago. I was experimenting with combining 2 or more images to make one single photo and this is the result of that experiment.
Then very good composite

Bulb setting pertains to time shutter is open not metering. Camera usually default to 30 seconds, bulb mode allows for a longer shutter opening time if you keep the shutter button depressed or use a remote.

Great shot - how long did it take for the right time to happen. You probably will not get the same opportunity for a while.
