I shot a series of photos of the room for a composite image. Here is what PhotoShop came up with:

I really like the greenish pillow in that version (above), but I tightened everything up and sent this one in to the paper:

  1. Wow, it’s amazing how you see things like this. Any chance you will post a blog about your workflow when shooting and building one of these composites?

    Nice work. I have been trying to take your challenge and post a photo from every assignment but unfortunately, I’m too ashamed…
