Composite 55 - Come Play!!!!

May 6th, 2023
Thanks everyone who played and voted in the last round of the composite challenge... and shout-out to @30pics4jackiesdiamond who probably would've won if the voting had stayed open a day or two longer 😊

On to the next round - composite-55

A composite is a combination of images to make a cohesive scene, be it surreal, fantasy, realistic, or fun, to make a statement - anything you wish, or any theme you feel like working on.

There is no compulsory theme for the challenge but if you're at a loss for where to start, how about using the concept of "dreamscape" as a jumping off point?

Three simple rules:

1/ You may submit as many entries as you wish, but only one photograph per photographer will be short-listed for the voting procedure, which will take place shortly after the end date.

2/ The base image must be your own. If you use imagery from the internet or elsewhere to complete your composite, be aware of any copyright rules that exist, give credit where necessary, or mention where you downloaded the image from.

3/ Your final composite image needs to be prepared and uploaded between the challenge dates as laid out below:

Begin date: May 1st 2023 (when #54ended)
End date: May 30th, 2023

If you wish, you may add a link to your entry in this thread in the box below.

A question for clarification; your image must be composed between May 1st and May 30th, 2023 but can the base images you use have been taken at any time. or must they be the within that time period too?

@gardencat good question! I’ve always assumed that your composite has to be created within the timelines but the elements could date from earlier…. Not sure if anyone else knows (and I don’t know who to tag to ask!)….
