10/14/06 - Misty Island Montage

Fishing for opinions. I need two images for this week's competition. This year I'm doing exclusively "arty" - without regard to judge's likes or dislikes. I won it all last year doing it for the judges; this year is my turn to have fun.
This is my current choice for the 2nd entry. The other two I'll choose from is this one from earlier this month - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/67225309 - and this one from last week - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/68363504
These three represent the type of thing that I'm trying currently. It has an appeal to me, but I expect some others will say - Nope. ??
Today's PAD is the island image overlaid by a macro of lichen covered tree bark. Gives it a time ravaged sepia old photo look.
I switched this one 8 hours after posting to one where the lichen overlay contrast was reduced a bit; some, including me, found the lighter lichen areas in the original too bright and distracting. Here's the original - http://www.pbase.com/image/68557305
