Contemplative Buzz - 20/52
So this week was a real experiment and I would LOVE feedback - including criticisms! This "construction" is a first for me and I have a lot to learn!
I wanted to do a shot of Buzz's head with a beautiful blue sky background. Unfortunately the sky didn't cooperate. The original has a very white sky - combination of poor shooting conditions and poor skills :) So I took Buzz from that shot and put him in various skies that I had from other shots - cloudy (this one), blue, Grand Canyon, and I vignetted him.
With some of these, I felt the outline of Buzz was too harsh. I don't know how to change that. I felt that this one blended him into the sky more smoothly than the others.
So, I would love to hear what I could have done differently, what I might have done right, and how to do something like this in the future.
The other shots can be seen here. And I really hope some of you look at these because I would love to learn how to do this photo construction well.

PS - note to moderators - I see that the date on the photo is April 11. Well, that's the date I took the sky picture. The picture of Buzz was taken on May 20, which you can see if you go to the original shot linked above. I assume that's okay with the group guidelines, so long as the photo of the dog was taken in the week.
