A couple of months ago Ginger was posting some examples of her work using a photo-grid poster tutorial from Scott Kelby's CS2 book.

I decided to use the method to make a framed photo of my grandaughter for my wife's office wall. Here it is for your enjoyment, comment, or critique (wife loved it, by the way!):

I gave the B&W version as the gift but made a color version as well - here's the link for the color version.

I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    I prefer the color version... more festive. Nice montage.

    Wonderful!! Great photos of your granddaughter and they look do nice put together like that.

    It gives a slight feeling of movement, don't you think?

    I prefer the black and white in that format, generally. But then I tend to prefer black and white unless it is definitely a color shot. The blk and white takes away all the distracting background colors, IMO.

    Wonderful, light,

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Owen liked the color version because of it's festive color - I agree, the color is festive. But I chose the B&W one as a gift for the reason you mention, Ginger. I felt like it was her face that really became the real subject when the background and surrounding colors didn't distract from her.

    Thanks for the comments . . .
