OMG - what is the smudge tool? - you are racing away ahead of us.Keith, again no landscape. Must go to the coast soon and see what I can do there.
Here is one from today. It consists out of 4 different photograph and I roughly mixed them together with the smudge tool.

G1 + Nikon 50/2
The smudge tool is right on the toolpanel in PS. It is the hand with the pointing finger to smudge with. So just drag some similar photographs into a new bigger file, arrange them, flatten image and smudge them together.OMG - what is the smudge tool? - you are racing away ahead of us.
I'm going to have sleepless nights wondering what those . . . . people, things, . . are. I think we are going to have to reverse ourselves and get into pixel-peeping :deadhorse:
BTW - great image.
Keith
I quite agree with you here. This is why it's a good challenge - not going too far; what Jackson Pollock strived for and little understood ...I think the texture should not overgrow the image itself. Mike Regnier is very good at that.

Diane:Keith,
I have an old LB 2.0 with an EF mount. I have the EOS to m4/3rds adaptor to use it with the bodies, but I'm thinking of buying the Composer which I believe I would shoot more with but---can't decide which mount to buy--EF or 4/3rds. Curious what mount you have--and what model. I'm rather interested in both the UWA that would bring me to 21mm (42 FOV on the G1) and the FE optic--and would likely play in this thread (as well as using other lenses).

I use the OM 4/3 mount for the Composer lensbaby, mainly because I used to use the Composer on my Leica Digilux3, which I have since sold but I kept the Lensbaby.Diane:
The lensbaby is very new to me, and without Mike Regnier's posts in this thread, I would not have thought about it.
I have no experience of earlier Lensbaby products, all I can say is that the Composer works very well. It is easy to move around and you see instant results. If you want to lock that position its easy (but I don't need to do that)
The standard lens is 50mm, but they have an add-on bunch of lenses that I need to get, but I'm not there yet. It works well for me because if you are doing this OOF stuff, the Lensbaby does all the things that a collection of 30yr old C-Lenses will do, but give you control.
I bought the OM 4/3 mount and use it with the Panny adaptor.
Maybe Mike could comment on this?

I like the abstractions in structure as shown in the windows and the door.Here's another one of the Mosque. This time two layers, image and texture.

Thanks Michiel:I like the abstractions in structure as shown in the windows and the door.
Glad you made another post, because your forelast post looked sort of final.
But as you said there is still a lot to explore under this theme.
And congratulations, Keith with passing the 10.000 viewer hits. :thumbup::thumbup:
A recognition of interest in this thread.
