Creative Critters - Composite 5 challenge starts today

[Suzanne]

Thanks to @yorkshirekiwi for hosting the last challenge, everyone who participated, and all who voted for my fruit salad tree. I was delighted it was chosen. I am honoured to host the next round, Composite5

THEME: ANIMALS
START DATE: 27th APRIL
END DATE: 13tth MAY
TAG: Composite5

This is a fun round and a great way to practice your editing skills.

Definition of composite photograph: a photograph made by combining several distinct photographs either made one over another on the same plate or made on one print from a number of negatives.

The idea behind the challenge is to get as creative as possible. There is a ton of YouTube tutorials and the internet is a great source for stock images .

This is a link to a site that has access to 135 tutorials. So if your stuck for an idea, have a look.

If your new to composite photography, or if you keen to give it a go, then this competition is for you.

My chosen theme is Animals, of any kind, fur, feather, flipper or even multiple feet (I think that's them all included)

You must have at least one of your own photos, and you are able to make use of stock images to supplement what you already have.

Links to some free stock image sites.

It's not mandatory, but it would be great if you could share your image to this thread to give others inspiration

Have fun

Can we use our fur friends who are stuffed with fluff and stuff?
This was the bear, beads and treasure chest taken on a white background. The wood grain wall and floor was taken from another photo and added.

@k1w1 How sweet :) I have no problem if the critter is a harmless stuffed one!
I would say though that the edit would probably have to be "created" within the timeframe of the challenge dates. (the images used for the composite can be from any time) Perhaps you could rework, or add to this sweet image and then repost with the tag?

This is a composite of a couple of versions of Leonardo DaVinci's wooden, mobile bridge, a background and a stock photo of an elephant:

@suzanne234
I had assumed the final image should be created within the time frame. Glad we can include stuffed with fluff and stuff critters :)
