Combining photos

[Indy]

Got to playing around with a couple of pictures and decided that this picture here needed some work:

The sky was too grey, the chair was distracting, and there were other things in the background that distracted your attention from the helicopter.

So...

I took this photo that I had shot out in my back yard about a month ago (I liked the colors of the sky) and decided to use it as the backdrop for the helicopter photo.

I also manipulated the photo to get rid of the chair in front and voila! Here's the finished product:

That's what I was going for. The original looked ok, but was too bland (grey sky, grey copter)...when I pulled up the picture on my computer yesterday, I knew that I needed to put some color into the sky behind it...

excellent job!

Only thing I can see wrong is that the brightness of the grass gives it a sunny day look while the gentle sunlight suggests otherwise. Still looks cool IMO.. :)
