Ojars, If this is a 'fairly simple composite', I look forward with eager anticipation to one of your more complex variations. When I first saw your image, I found it difficult to unpick the constituent elements. However, the more I looked at it, the more I could define the subject matter and the more I warmed to it. I quite like images that present a visual anomaly and draw me in because I don't know what I am looking at. I agree with Joan that there is a strong 3D perspective here which makes the steering wheel pop out from the rusty dashboard and background. |

Barrie, This image works for me. I like the overall feeling of a monochrome background against which the piercing yellow eyes are the players. The sketcherly, pen-and-ink effect enhanced by the embossing has created an interesting image that I quite like. Compositionally, the cat is framed well and there is a good flow into and circularity within the image although the pink nose is perhaps too subtle and is lost in the noise. |

Nancy, I love the saturated colours of the bougainvillea and the sailboat which pop out from the monotone water. This works well. The oil painting effect does it for me and adds a sense of emotion and mood in addition to the obvious feeling of movement. I find the back part of the picture a little tone heavy and dominant in the frame and I would have preferred it to be less so. I would have been quite happy with just the sailboat set on an empty expanse of aquamarine water. |

Alan, As a technical exercise you have done well to combine the various individual elements into a single composite. However, the image for me is a touch busy with too much in it. I would have been happier with just the landscape, mist, car, man and the signs which would have made an interesting visual story. The addition of the hand and the windmill degrades rather than enhances the overall effect. Looking at your original images, I quite like number three which would stand well on its own. |

John, As a photographer who doesn't do sharp, it will come as no surprise that I love your Image. I am drawn to images that are more than a mere record and embrace a sense of emotion, feeling and movement. It is a compositionally strong image with the number forty-one placed off-centre in the frame which increases the overall visual dynamic. The saturated colours of the spectators is lovely. I would lose the white highlight in the top left hand corner. |

Joan, This is a striking image that has immediate impact which makes the viewer take stock of what they are looking at. On first inspection, the visual strength of the eyes and the nose gives a sense of reality to the image. It is only when I look at the rest of the picture that I realize it is a composite of two animals that have been stitched together perfectly. The white of the cat flows nicely through the picture and the orientation of the whiskers adds credibility to the composite. Well done. |
