About the Image(s)
I've been looking for something to add to this ICM shot I took last year. I came across the man in my files and added him in Darken mode at lowered opacity, then duplicated the layer and added motion blur to that layer, putting it in normal mode at lowered opacity. I duplicated that layer, added gaussian blur, changed the color to black, lowered the opacity and transformed it to form his shadow.
He was looking at a blank wall, so I added the building with the bike, applying motion blur and put that layer in Hard Light mode at 58%. I added shadows to the bike and the building, and a vignette.

What a clever use of Motion Blur. I can't wait to try it on a photo that has stumped me for years. Renoir would be proud of this composite. The "brush strike," subject, and color resemble his painting I attached. In addition to all of the other plusses, your scene is well balanced and has a road (and bicycle) that invites the viewer to step in. Your efforts truly paid off.   Posted: 02/04/2025 14:29:58
