My first Collage........

JohnEBongo

This is my first attemot at a collage. It is comprised of several shots of my son Timothy at the playground on Sunday afternoon. I think it turned out pretty good, but I would like your opinions as well. Thanks

Oveall very nice. I've had a hard time doing collages in this manner, with soft edges around selections and such. My only comment is in the center image I don't like the gray stuff coming out of the left-side of his head (his left side, not our left side).

I had the same thought I don't care for the gray it needs to blend better. It has a lot of potential though! I really like it!

I don't know if this is helpful but here are some of my links I've saved on montage to give some ideas on how you could blend it a little more or for someone who is reading this how to's.

This one is the best but you have to be a paid member to view topic. They do have a trial membership.
