I have never been into composites but looking at what you have done here is certainly interesting. I can see how doing this would have proved a lot of fun in some of the work I did.

I do have fun creating images; I try to create a situation that could have been. This means having an idea and then choosing the right photos to make that idea into an image that could have been photographed. I have a deal with Steve - He asked that if I post a composite, I mention it in the posting. Interestingly enough, in many of the photo contests today, there is no limit to the post processing allowed, so I push the envelope. Most people change the background; generally replacing a sky with a more interesting one. In this case I figure that I replaced the empty (uninteresting) water with water that had a Anhinga & an alligator swimming in it. :giggle: :giggle:. Part of the fun is the challenge to get everything right. In this particular image there is one thing I would change if I were to do it over. 🤐 🤐

I like it!
I'm working on a composite now. I saw something that I doubt I could have captured properly with a straight photo. There was a flock of White-fronted Goose migrating behind my house low to the ground through the fog and clouds at night with a nearly full moon for illumination. So I have set out to create that image I saw and felt by compositing photos I took of a WFGO flock, a daytime shot of the background, and creating the lighting for the proper mood. It's coming along slowly as I have had to learn more Photoshop tools.
