Default first attempt at photomerge

Was out today and took some nice shots. When I got home I thought that 2 shots would be great combined. Never had done it before and thought I would give it a go. I did this without the aid of tut...sheer trial and error what do you think?

Was the girl on the right the one you merged in?

You may want to extend the shadow of the pylon she is standing on in the right merge; otherwise it's easy to expose the trick. I like the idea and good for you flying by the seat of your pants without a tutorial!

Yes the one on the right is the one I merged in. These are the original shots. She was actually standing on the same post for both pics. As you can see from shot #2 there was no shadow...it was underwater, LOL

Nice job with the merge! Sometimes, however, when working an image we get too focused on the detail and not enough on the big picture ... the horizon is not level.

Also, the fat shadow on the right pylon does not match the skinny pylon.

I'd clone stamp out the stray shoe on the lower LH. Otherwise (after horizon tilt) it's a fun shot!
