Description
I was originally going to post these as two separate images, but decided to splice them together. They're both taken from the top floor bedroom of our house. The upper one is a window in the shower that's a little under 4 feet wide & the lower one is a bank of windows that takes up an entire wall of the bedroom - hence, the obvious difference in scale of the snow covered trees outside. I think the postwork which emphasize the lines of the foliage & the way the different size windows split the view give this somewhat the look of the panels of a graphic novel (a medium I admire & enjoy). The three tiny bits of color in one of the windows are a colored glass mobile.
In putting this together, I learned how to use a Photoshop feature I'd never used before - the warp tool. To get these windows completely in frame, I had to back up as far as the walls of the room would allow me & in fact hold the camera with my arm extended sideways, as the width of my body itself would have caused the edges of the windows to be cut off. As a result, the windows were slightly off kilter. Using the warp tool to expand & contract selective parts of the windows, I was able to pretty much straighten them out. Fun to play with & good to have in my arsenal of tools...

I like the top image, but I don't think the two pictures work together. Nice effect on the trees though. Very graphic. Photoshop is the black hole of learning. I still find new things I can do with it. - Bob
SUPERB CREATION!!!!
Looks surreal. Both are nice shots.
Fantastic collage and work! :)
Nicely put together!
great!!! love that tiny hint of colour!
What a splendid presentation! I love the feeling this has of panels. Graphic novel ... meh ... not my thing. But breaking the view into separate scenes like this really works for me! The lower pane, second from the left, has the same vibe as the upper image, and ties the two together perfectly. So well, in fact, that I had to look twice. I love this!!
