Picture Perfect Winter Competition #4_ Far from Home


One day I will reach the Moon.





This photo may disqualify me from the competition - but that's ok!!! I was going to enter the photo of the just the moon but I thought that this Photoshop creation, made with the Moon photo plus the addition of the Galah on the branch, highlights better the theme 'far from home'. They are both my photos and all I have done is lay the bird over the photo of the moon and then cropped them into the panorama to give what I think is the best effect to achieve the perspective and feel of distance. I had created this photo a month and a bit ago when I was feeling creative and presented it in another personal blog in my series of Backyard Photography posts.

    WOW...THIS IS PICTURE PERFECT!

    How could 'editing' disqualify you? This is perfect!

    Very good job & I like this a lot. I am still trying to prefect this technique with emphasis on trying, just have not had the time to practice. I have seen other "photoshop" entries in the past (or I think they were photoshoped)

    This is an excellent advertisement for photoshop (which I don't have, but wish I did! I believe it's expensive), and for your own talents with it. Nicely done Keith. :)

    Everyone would probably admit to doing some kind of editing, be it cropping, or something more creative such as this, so I think its pretty damn good. Great effect btw, and congrats on TT, obviously met the rules lol
