Having fun making blends in Photoshop. This is about seven different photographs, representing trips we took to San Antonio, Washington DC. and Alabama.

very nice work
A most creative black and white image!!
A very creative work and you have made the foundations look really interesting. :)
The shadowy figures, the few harsh highlights and the overall soft focus give this a very mysterious if not dystopian look, Superb work on the blending.
A very creative piece of work, Tara - this has a certain dreamy, almost mystical look to it. Wonderful blend of memories.
Inspiring and wonderful!
Excellent, Tara. I wouldnt be able to mix that many images, without getting NOTHING out of it, but you can. I see many layers here. Cobble stones, fence, windows, people etc. But maybe it is because I most often use blend mode and to be honest, I never tried in b/w. Blend mode is mostly about colors. That is why I never used that with black white. But I do have other way to blend. :-) AND I use Paint shop pro 9... an older program, which maybe doesnt have so many new additions. Then it is fine we can get nice filters to help us. BTW! I never found the free Topaz. :(
Outstanding work Tara. God bless.
Amazing and great job! The people and title touched me most. The people make the country, and you have got a lot of persons in the image, and their work represented in the architectural images. Keep up the good work! :-)
This a good idea of creation/
This is trippy cool, like seeing a dream.
(since I skip images, when I want to do all the images I haven't done, I have to go to each image and see if I've commented; and it gets very repetitive; and I want to shout: "Schmendrik! Comment in order next time! You're killing me here!") (You know how I know that I've commented on an image? If I see a response that takes up 3/4 of the page, and goes on and on about one stroke, I've commented. I've actually shouted at the screen: "SHUT THE ___ UP! NOBODY CARES!" Seeing my own comments is a terrifying occurrence...) I understand Helle's thought about blends in black and white: It's really hard. But you got a haunting strange and very suggestive image in black and white. Part of it is the intense light on the people---in a few spots---and the clear sight of a gallery or outdoor art show; and a clear sign "MORGAN", which seeps through (and we don't know what it is or where it comes from); and the angled cobblestones, and a railing, etc...these things give form and shape to the melange, and yet we don't know what they belong to or where they come from. A very inviting quiet magic here. You do blends so well, any time you post them is a treat, since you don't post them very often.
