Beautifully done Dave, I really like the B&W
Thank you, there is a touch of color there. Most noticeable on the download.

A composite of a young lady dressed as a witch in New Orleans and place on Route 66 somewhere in Arizona. I completed this one several months ago and just now got around to post. Amazing how forgetful we can be as age kicks in a little more. Hopefully I haven't posted this one previously, if so ... Sorry !!!

Peaceful it is !!! Love the conversion, composition is great. Altho, doesn't look very safe, all alone and standing up in a small boat. Hope he's a good swimmer.

A great song, I love the the instrumental version by Duane Eddy, but my fave vocal is Vaughn Monroe's version. Your artwork is exquisite!
Thank you very much Dennis !!! I see we have similar interests.

I did learn to play it but you would not want to hear! I think both Duane Eddy and Chet Atkins did versions but suspect you’re thinking of a lesser known version. I have the same problem with my memory!
I don't think I would have a problem hearing your version Dave. I have heard so many and all are very good. This is the one I was referring to and couldn't find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POicJGqCEFI

I was early for a small plane tourist flight and saw her in the hanger beckoning to me~!
I canceled my flight out of fright.

Bumped into this guy at a pirate festival at the weekend - he's the same chap that featured as Jack Sparrow in another of my posts a while, back but I didn't recognise him (unsurprisingly). He certainly put a bit of effort into making his outfit. He likes the composite and now has copies of the file. Any critique is welcome..
Love it Dave. Your pirate and steampunk versions always have my interest. Have you thought about adding a pirate ship of some sort behind Jack? Just a thought !!!

Excellent composite, strikes my interest and this scene could be mistaken for the "Salem Witch Trials". A place I always forget about and still have the desire to visit.

Two Topaz filters helped achieve the look in #1. Can you find the two animal faces that resulted? Or maybe there are more?? 
#2 has minimal (for me) processing of the raw file.
Thanks for your time and any feedback you're willing to share.

My opinion is a lot can be achieved with this image Linda. One that comes to mind is with halloween approaching, this could be used for a goolish, haunting atmosphere !!! Excellent image even if you choose to not go any further.

Wonderful result Dave! The colours are beautiful - and I can hear all the versions you mention, know them well, although I’ve only seen Cash sing it live. Such a good composite and a pleasure to see you here.
Thank you very much Dave. Glad you like this long awaited image. I know there are many versions of the song. Sometime back I had heard a guitar instrumental version but was unable to locate the one I had heard. Memory is such an issue lately.

I liked how you have smoke around your individual images. I then looked up some youtube videos to give me an idea of what I'm looking at in Photoshop. It sounds complicated; but I'll give it a go.

Erich, I only used clouds in this composite. No fog or smoke, altho I probably should have and will keep in mind for any further attempted improvements. Something tells me this is not complete ... yet !!! Just need to find a way to not clutter things up.
