Boomer returns to Yankee Stadium

David (Boomer) Wells is a former starting pitcher for the Yankees.  He now plays for the San Diego Padres.  During recent interleague play he made his first return to Yankee Stadium and received a warm reception from the New York crowd.  Our seats were way up in the Ozone so I didn't get any shots to write home about.  I decided to try my hand at a composite and this is my first attempt.  I'd certainly appreciate your suggestions for improvement.

Nice unique composite. I like it a lot.

Thanks Bruce. The process I used is:
- Paste each individual image onto a separate layer.
- Add a layer mask to each layer.
- Paint a white to black gradient onto each layer mask. The gradients were either linear of radial to match the individual images.
- Touch up each layer mask with a broad soft brush.

some great shots, and I REALLY!!!! like the finished product.

I've taken thousands of pictures of my son's baseball team over the past two years, and I'm going to try to put together something like this. I'd by very grateful for any tips / hints / suggestions. cgadd@cfxc.com
