About the Image(s)
In October I was in Fairbanks, Alaska to photograph the northern lights. It is always magical to see the lights perform. The statue of the Unknown First Family is in downtown Fairbanks. As you can see, I captured the image in the daylight. I combined the lights image with the statue. I finished the image in topaz and added a texture.

Very well done.... This really tells a very strong story of the area....I never knew this statue existed when I was there many years ago...or, I would have taken a photo of it too... Posted: 05/14/2023 16:53:20

Excellent compositing, excellent story and I just have one suggestion. I would consider pulling the statue forward (lighten) and pushing the background back (darken.) I just used the LR masks. Posted: 05/16/2023 11:40:36
I really like that. Thanks for the suggestion. I do think it adds alot to the image Posted: 05/16/2023 13:44:53
You're welcome. Justs adds a little depth to a well done composite. Posted: 05/16/2023 21:14:05
