Uwe, really like this one also--the texture makes this one with the 'torn' edge and folds subtle feeling.

Just love these big old trees that sit by themselves. I so seldom see one here without surrounding 'junk' (that I may just have to try and overcome)--most of our huge oaks and poplars are in forests surrounded by 'neighbors'. I'm anxious to get back down around the pecan groves in SC/GA perhaps in the Spring. Trees appeal to me on a lot of levels--and are wonderful subjects alone or in orchards for these blend images.

Hey Uwe, that is looking back! I think we were there about 4 years ago? Anyway, great trip and great location!

I was through there about 3 months ago and that tree is still there --- probably surrounded by water right now too!

+1/:thumbs: for sure. It has that added little detail with the 2 people under the tree that I love in these shots. Also that mysterious feeling with the toning you chose.

Add me to the list of admirers for this one. The people really add to the image.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments on the tree in Montevideo

Again, it was a horrible day (rain) and taken through a bus window. The two people are in fact Ugraquian police, who seemed to be everywhere. They had these lovely rain coats that look like skirts, frocks (?) or what ever. They were in the right place at the right time.

Trees seem to work very well with blending, and many of Mike's good pictures have trees in them. I love Uwe's series.

This one is inspired by Uwe's old tractor in a field - one of my favorites.

Cool and inspiring thread. I just discovered this forum while looking around for GF1 related sites. (I just picked up a GF1 to replace my aging G9 travel camera.) I haven't made any blends in a while so seeing this thread re-kindled my interest in them during this, my slow season. Anyway... here's some fun I've had toying with blends and my senior portrait images. Camera was a 5D, but the blends are the topic. Some deep with layers. Some very subtle. My objective here was to use blends to create or enhance the settings/backgrounds without obscuring my clients' faces.
