Comments on one of my first collages...Just starting out.

She is my youngest.

Congrats on the post! It can be a little scary at first. I'm still scared! Anyway, do you have a larger image for us? It would be hard to make any comments (and to enjoy it) on such a small sample.

Eva,

I looked and you are using the M size from Smugmug. I think (despite what the options say) that L (large) is better. You can also preview your post before you submit it just be sure it is what you want to present.

Regards,

Here's the large.


Thanks.

Like this much. Nice set of pictures for the work. Little cutie.
You are blessed.

I'm sure its situational per piece of workup (as I've never tried it) but I
wonder if softening the edges of each photo frame might be of benefit.
So the merge between photos and background is not so crisp.

Welcome to dgrin Eva. We are pleased to have you join us.

I think this is a lovely poster. Parents always see Their Kids, and rarely notice the fence in the background. Since my parenting days are long gone, I do notice the fence, and I feel it competes with the child for my eye.


If these were my images, I would select the sweet little girl with the Pen tool, and blur the background with a strong Gaussian blur, like I did for this little girl, here.



From your screen name, I suspect you are a teacher. So am I, sometimes:D

Wow! Great idea. I didn't even think about that. I did soften the edges on another one of these I did of my oldest daughter, and I like it. I will do this on this one. I will also try the blurred background.

I appreciate the comments and help!
