Is the first image a composite?
Yes it is.

These are three very unique shots. The point of view on the Flicker shot is unusual and makes a very interesting composition with the beautiful sky behind. I love the second shot - the very tall pilings with the bird perched on top, the foggy background and the subdued colors are all very cool! The swan shot is outstanding with luscious lighting and reflections! You seem to have a real knack for composition and I like that each of these bird shots has other elements that add interest!
Thanks. I believe composition is the most important aspect of any wildlife or bird shot. I try to various angles etc....

Here's a few.

1. Yes, it does have impact, a lot of impact. From the mother's furrowed brow to the kids "soupbowl" haircuts,the infant's dirty face, it defines poverty, the kids heads are hidden but the mother has a quiet dignity and strength about her. No tears.
2. It does tell a story. I cannot possibly tell you what it is, only she can do that. However you can see that hard times have been had.
3. The composition is masterful. Why are the kids not looking at the camera? Shy?. Ashamed? Tired? Even the mother is not looking directly at the camera. The photo is essentially grey, no real blacks, no real whites, dusty, if you will.
4. This photo defined an a era, the dust bowl migrations. To me, it also defined the strength of the people that took, what was then a leap of faith into what was unknown.
They say a photo is worth 10,000 words. This one certainly is. Poverty is still with us, not only worldwide but in your country and in mine. It is the nature of most people to have empathy. I feel sorry for those who don't. We do what we can to make the world a better place, be it rescuing a kitten, or giving billions to open a new hospital wing.
Reminds me of an old song lyric by Robert Hunter "Talk about your plenty, talk about you ills
One man gathers what another man spills"

Not only was the magenta a treat but how did you make some areas of the stump transparent so we could see the sky.

In all honesty my friend I saw very little noise but changed the sky as I found the original hard to work with. Warmed it up a little as well. Now Driftwood ala Billy. NB Not a texture in sight other than the superb one on that ol' driftwood.
Great Job! Love the way you dragged Magenta out of the shadows, never seen that before!!

This one looks a little creepy to me. Even though the green fern (or whatever it is) has a lot of appeal, I wonder how it might work in monochrome, which often makes spooky things spookier.
This is about as spooky as I get!

Sorry, can't work on it. It is really nice the way it is. Love the angles, the prism effect and the birds.

Stick to tea cups and teddy bears. You do not seem to have even a rudimentary knowledge of digital photography. I am not saying you are stupid, you just have bad luck when it comes to thinking!!
