I have been trying to learn to layer. I used a photo of an old school desk for the background and then an old school photo on top. This is how it turned out. Hope you'll take a look see.

Wow, Carol...

This is amazing!! Congratulations. This image is a beauty. I gave up on trying to learn layering. Maybe I'll give it another go. If you don't mind my asking, what software did you use. I like everything about this shot.

I have been trying this texture thing too. This is really nice, and the texture is perfect for the shot of the school. Really nice, Carol.

I think it's interesting, though the composition appears off balance, with the bulk of the building, entrance and flag appearing all to one side. I thought a radical crop was the only answer, but tried flopping the image. It made a radical change, as out eyes tend to view and flow Left to Right in the Western hemisphere, and the empty space behind the school now tends to lead you directly into the subject material.

Excellent job, Carol. You sure have the hang of it and chose two appropriate images to do this with.

I think it turned out remarkable! The desk and old school house go together so very well! Looks like your learning quite well;)

Carol - A creative use of a texture overlay i this image, using an old school desk over the image of the one room school house. Very well done. Out of curiosity, I wonder what the image would look like with the overlay being desaturated. Thad

I do believe this earns you an A+ young lady. Very nice experimentation and great choice for the layers. Very inventive posting and nice work Carol.

I like the job you did layering here. I also like the thought you put into the content you layered. This is a good piece.
