Theme: Harvest Time

Hi All
This is a composite photo, for the wagon and pumpkins, I used CS4 Photomerge to combine 3 closeups of the wagon. I cropped the image of the wagon, copied and pasted into a new image, where canvas was twice as high. Pasted in image of background trees (to bottom). Masked wagon, then inverted...dragged mask and copied from background trees.
Pasted background, moving it, so it covered original background behind wagon....cropped to size...added frame.
Wished I'd had a little more room around wagon...

I understand what I did, I hope you can.

Wow Paul! If that's not screaming harvest time I don't know what is. Beautiful post-processing work. I actually like the almost pano crop-but do wish for a bit more room as you said. Great fall colors and a great looking wagon! Well done.

Nice work Paul! I'm not sure what you did but it looks good! I wish that the area under and behind the wagon was as sharp as the rest of the image though. Thanks for explaining your process!

Nice job on this Paul! The pano crop works very well along with nice even lighting. As you stated a bit more room around the wagon would have been nice...

Very well done, hard to believe this is a composite.

Yes, great color and merging. Well done.

A bit more room would have been my suggestion as well. Otherwise it looks great. I'm not sure I totally understand everything you did but it sure sounds like a lot of work.

Paul, The background you chose is perfect for your wagon full of pumpkins and you did a great job of putting it there! I wouldn't have known if you hadn't explained your process.

beautiful image , I liked it very much as posted

I agree with everyone else, very well done composite, Paul!

Thank you all for comments...may go back and photograph the wagon again...only leave a little more room around it...
