Sights in Flight
This week I have decided to go a bit different again. After learning a little bit more in Photoshop, I have merged some photographs together to through a different light on the subject of a seagull in flight.
The first image is combined of the two below:
The second is combined of the same seagull but the background is replaced with this photo:
I wasn’t sure which I liked better so I have put up both. I would really like to know which you prefer?








I really wanted to learn photoshop and your post lately is making me want to do it more! I cant afford it but it would be neat. YOur photos are amazing especially this one =) #mysundayphoto
Thank you so much Merlinda. I hope you get a chance to afford it soon – you would love it! xx
Oh that’s so good and a brilliant effect. I love the seagull capture. You’ve got it so perfectly!
Thanks Tas 🙂 x
My favourite is the first one. Thank you for breaking the photo down into its original components and showing us how you put it together under Photoshop. #mysundayphoto
Thank you Helena – hopefully I will be able to share a better tutorial soon! x
#1 for me but I can tell you’ve had lots of fun doing these! Well done 🙂 xox
Thanks – I am moving towards that one! I really did 🙂 x
Gorgeous pictures huni. I prefer the first, stunning x
Thank you Aby 🙂 x
That’s amazing! I would love to be able to do that. I prefer the one with the colourful sky, the bird stands our beautifully xx
Thanks Jo. I am hoping to put up a tutorial 🙂 x
These are both incredible – it is a really difficult choice but I think the first one if my favourite – I just love it – the colour, everything.
Thank you so much Jenni 🙂 x
Wow Victoria! Both very cleverly created photos, but my favourite has to be the first one. I like the the way the pinkness of the sky seems to reflect on the gull too. Love it.

Thank you so much Debbie 🙂 x
The first one. I really liked it when I first saw it. I have had photoshop for years and would love to be able to “photshop” a photo. I tried for ages to combine 2 like you have but it just didn’t work. I am now expecting a blog post with you telling me how to do it 🙂 #MySundayPhoto
Thank you! I will be putting together a tutorial – hopefully this week x
You are so clever! That is beautiful x
Aww, thank you Kim 🙂 x
I’m useless with photoshop but your pic looks fab. I love your original Seagull shot too

Thank you so much Cat 🙂 x
That’s amazing what a great shot. Very clever xx
Thank you so much 🙂 x
The first one definitely, it’s amazing! I’d love to know more about Photoshop, you’re becoming a real master at it!
Thank you Phoebe. Tutorial to follow! 🙂
It’s a hard choice but I think I would go for the first one. I love the colours in the background which make the seagull really stand out.
Thank you Anne 🙂 x
I personally love the first photo, the beautiful colour in the sky really lifts it
Thank you for linking up
The first one looks more natural to me as if the sun has captured the gull and it really is flying over the water. When I first saw it I was ‘wow!’ The second one looks as if it has been added to the photo.
Very creative 🙂
Thank you Shaz – I am really pleased you like it. I was worried the first one looked like your opinion of the second! 🙂 x
You’ve done a fantastic job with them! It’s a tough choice, but I think I like the top one best!
Thank you Sarah 🙂 x
I have worked for many years with PhotoShop and never think of doing anything with my own photos! I love your end result #MySundayPhoto
You really should! I am really enjoying it 🙂 Thanks Jane x
Yet another superb display of your photographic skills Victoria! Brilliant photos. Really must get to grips with Photoshop myself. #MySUndayPhoto
Thank you so much John 🙂
These are stunning Victoria, I especially love the first one x
That’s really clever. I need to learn photoshop
How clever! The first one looks like it could be a postcard. #MySundayPhoto
The second one is fab. I think your experiments are brilliant and inspiring. You’re showing how photography is an art.
How clever; I prefer the second photo
This really is putting my photo shop skills to shame!
I love the first one, the way the cloud mirrors the shape of the wing is awesome. I think I need photo shop!
The second one feels a bit more natural to me. I really must work on my Photoshop skills!
We like the first shot! Did you clip it around the seagull or just overlay the layer? Either way loving your photoshop skills! #MySundayPhoto xx
Two stunning photos – I like the first one with the pinky hues of the sky 🙂
