What do you guys think of this? It was very hot out and at a very bad time of day (only time they could do it), but I think it turned out half decent. I don't think any of the images are strong on their own, but as a collage, I think it works.

I like creating collages too and this looks really nice!

As a whole I like your layout, but I would straighten out the long vertical photo.....it looks like it's leaning to the left, but maybe that's just an optical illusion . I also like your mix of black and white, color and sepia.

Nice work Toogy.
My guess is that the photo on the right is straight and that the bridge is slanted or curved (arched). The people are vertical in the photo and the vegetation hanging behind them is also vertical. The only thing that is out of kilter is the bridge because it is out of kilter and the photo is straight.

It's nice, but i would stick to one coloring scheme. Don't mix them all up. My 2 cents.

Nice photos. I agree with drewmk2. I'd prefer to see one color scheme.

Actually, I kinda agree with drewmk2 and IntheRed... I think the mix of colour and B&W is good, but perhaps not in this case. The only picture I think that fits the B&W is the top middle one. The rest might look nicer in colour.

Also, what might look better is to move the long vertical picture to the left side. Then it kinda leads you into the others...

But overall, I love the idea and the photos are great! :)

I don't know about that, I think you have some really nice captures going on there. I love the strolling couple. I don't mind the blend of bw and colors on collage afterall a collage is experimental. Nice try. :)

Also, if you want to see my perfectionism come out, you might want to correct the border. It's not the same size on the right as on the left.

P.S. I really love the photo at the bottom in the middle.

Nice, but as previously stated don't mix the colour scheme. I have to admit my first reaction was that I felt there were too many images included. It feels a bit like you're trying to get as many images into the collage as possible.

Just my feeling, otherwise I like the images a lot. :)
