get-pushed-48 (3)

my challenge from @jacob89 was "a portrait with the subject silhouetted against an interesting background" Decided to try my skills at a composite image - the background is from a photo I took in Cuba (2006); the foreground is from the reclamation yard, yesterday.
Thank you to everyone who commented and faved my get-pushed shot from Monday and put it on to PP - v.exciting to be there

@jacob89 Your challenge was for an interesting background - bit wacky - what do you think?

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Nice one! The only thing I might suggest is that when you selected the statue in the front that you might like to feather the edge of it by a pixel or two to remove the very sharp / hard edge.

[Jocasta]

@steampowered thanks v.much for the advice - I'm new to this so all advice is very welcome

[Sean O'Neill]

Has a bit of Dali/Gaudi to it. I like it.

[Paula W]

I agree with Sean and I'd say you've definitely met the challenge of the interesting background, I like it too.

[Marloes]

Like the contrast between the moving kid and statue (in Holland statues of the Virgin Mary sometimes go on the move!).

[Linda]

I think you did a great job for your challenge as it is seamless. I am particularly fascinated by the background image with that little cutie in it.

[Jacob]

@jocasta Yup, thats an interesting background all right. I like how the face of the statue is silhouetted, but there's some nice light on the arm, shoulder, and the top of the head

Wonderful composite - well done you! Love the Cuba image btw! : )
