Got there.

Yesterday I said I spent time and looking at YouTube videos on how to blend to no effect!  My friend helped, but later I tried again.  Using a photo I had blended before (won an prize at Camera Club) reminded me how to do it.  So what you should have had yesterday you got today.  There are two different pine cones in this picture.  Using Photoshop I was able to get what I wanted, plus you get the effect. (It's easier to show than explaining different light.)
In the extras I've shown the original Haig Ghosts and Mark 2 version which reminded me how to produce a blended photo.  I understand Today's Blip isn't everybody fav, but I like to try different things: expect success equally as failures!
