I Wish I Were Real...

Some play with PS, combining three images. First is scene taken at our frozen Lake Michigan (we're still in the midst of frigid temperatures but Jim was very nice about driving me over to the lake so I could hop out of the car and not be outside too long). That scene looked very empty until I populated it with a pair of penguins from last year at the city zoo. And then P3 (Professor Percival Penguin, a gift from @northy several years ago) asked to be included.

I love the way you've included your penguins! They're just adorable!

[Walks @ 7]

Burr but wonderfully fun!

[Myrna O'Hara]

So cute, love the title.

[Mags]

This is great!

[Pam Knowler]

It does look very cold! I am sure those penguins are having a lovely time! Great fun shot and processing!

[Joan Robillard]

When you added P3 did you dodge the white outer edge of his body. This would help it stand out against the white snow. But it is a clever composition.

[KWind]

Great editing!!

[Steve Chappell]

Very cool edit, great job

[Kathy]

That's a great composite - it all ties together so beautifully. :)

[Casablanca]

P3's playground!

[Chris Johnson]

I almost thought P3 was a real penguin too—wait what I'm saying. Of course he's real, lol. Love this photo, wonderfully captured!

[Shepherdman's Wife]

You are having fun!

[Tom]

What a fun composite, I think the overall composition without the
penguins is quite striking

[Merrelyn]

A lovely composite.

[Kathie]

Must be frigid if penguins are on Lake Michigan. Fun.

[bkb in the city]

Well done

[carol white]

Love the addition of the penguins... nice!

Nice processing

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

[Lois]

Great processing!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice composite work! The layers blend together quite perfectly. Poor P3- he looks very wistful at the sight of his "real" counterparts.

[Junko Y]

Sigh -- this reminds me of our last trip together there. Nice of Jim to drive you over and wait while you photographed. And the penguins certainly add fun!
