Theme: Around the World

[Christopher Miller]

My second try at a mini world. This time I used a B&W landscape that I shot behind our house. I posted the original shot here.

The most difficult part was blending the seam. Do you think I did a good job? Any C&C are welcome!

Christopher ,You did a fine job with the seams! It's not as easy as it looks!! Great eye for this one as a mini-world. It looks neat!

Nice image.

I find that the seam work takes some effort. I try to blend by cloning both sides to the center and then blending with a bigger brush in a wide circular motion across the area.

Another key is to crop the original into a panarama, pror to squaring it, which "seems to seam" :) better. The better you do the pana, the less area has to be blended. But each image is different and you have to go with the flow. Practice makes perfect, or better at least! ;)

Looks like a deserted desert island to me Christopher. Really like the BW too.
