I was messing around a bit and decided I didn't like the first picture too much.  So looking through the shots, I figured I would just merge elements from the first two to make the last.  Please comment...


Started with this one and moved the bird around while removing certain elements and changing the temperature slightly...


Then I took Olivia out of this shot and mixed her into the first...



And here is the end result....

Thats awesome Kevin!

Lovely edit!

Couldnt even tell it was edited!

Whoa that's pretty good. Nice work.

wow not bad!  I wouldn't have known it was manipulated had you not told us.  The only thing I notice is that you might want to level the photo a little.  The horizon climbs to the right in the photo somewhat. Also, and I just noticed this, is that there appears to be a smudge tool circle smack dead center of the photo from where you extracted and moved the bird.  It takes some practice to get the hang of that thing.  It took me a while too. Other than that though not bat at all.  

I meant to go back and fix that, but I forgot...  :-[

Great job!!

very nice  ;D  If you had not told us I probably woulndt of looked into it much but the mix between Olivia and the background seem a little off in brightness but that may just be me  :P

Overall very nice  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Great Work

Nicely done! You can't separate false from real...

Thanks for the compliments guys, it's much appreciated.    It helped that both shots were pointing in the same general direction to start with.  

One thing I have noticed is that when blending two totally different images, especially when one has been 'cut out' of another, it helps to make that layer (in this case particularly Olivia) just slightly transparent.  It helps remove any extra bits that are too hard to remove with the eraser or lasso tools...  

There are still two people I hope will g=comment on this...

Very nice cut out.....I like the way you selected the sand around her feet aswell....so it looks like she is standing in the sand...

Lovely shots....

I may be being picky but I can see were the chairs were

terrific job, like everyone else said, can't really tell unless you know what to look for
