For reasons that I'll explain when I post my next entry, this image marks a transition: a state change, both in terms of what I'll be posting, and the ways in which I want to develop my photography for the foreseeable future. Watch this space :)

As for this one: it's a composite shot of five originals, none of which were sufficiently interesting to post on their own but, when combined, create something that's visually more interesting.

As always, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Very good idea cleverly done. Excellent vibrant colours, wonderful composition

Well done my friend

The outcome is very effective, I like it a lot. Would make a very interesting mini PSD :) I look forward to your new direction too.

This is one of the best flag/jack shots I have ever seen, would love a print of it

Hmmmm... saying goodbye to the mainland? Please tell me that you are coming to America! :)

Tearing yourself away... transitions... hoping all is well and all goes well...

The blue is incredible, the way the cloud follows the curve of the flag images... beautiful composition.

i like it a lot! its new, fresh and striking. the blues are fantastic. I also like how the bottom of the flags all kind of flow in to one another. chromasia strikes again!

Thanks everyone :)

I'd love to see your blending techniques in a tutorial. It looks like 5 images are all of different focal lengths but yet the blending of the images seems superb. Nice work!

comment by Kit at 05:24 AM (GMT) on 25 March, 2010

It is so alive, great dynamics perception. Superb craft, Dave.
