Winter scenes poster

[Pryce56]

I thought I would put together a couple of recent winter photos of the area into something that could be printed as a poster or shared with friends. I would love any feedback on the composition.:)

Bonnie, I thought I'd put a link here to the poster you are asking about:

I love what you've done. The photos are gorgeous and the black and white background sets them off so well. You sure live in a beautiful part of the country! Somehow I feel the arrangement is a bit unbalanced but I can't put my finger on a better arrangement. Maybe someone else will have an idea?

I agree with Julie. they are beautiful photos. I think that small photo is too small for the size of the others. I will work with it & see what i can come up with.

I have always loved the layout Robyn did with multiple images here (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/gallery/view_img.php?id=24782). I don't know if that would appeal to you but it might be a way to get all five images on the same poster layout without being out of balance.

Here are a few I quickly tried: If you want to keep the look you have it would just be moving & sizing your photos on layout.

Beautiful winter photos. Thanks for sharing w/us.

Nice, Christell. I like the overlapping version best...

[Pryce56]

Thank you all for the feedback. I didn't want to blow up the leaf to the same size as the others as it wasn't a scenery pic and thought it would give some interest by not being completely symmetrical but it just looks unbalanced. I think I will have to take some more photos to find one that would work better as part of the art poster arrangement.
On the other hand Julie, how do you do the layout with the separated segments?? I would like to try that.

I too like the one that over laps. It seems to tie them all together.

Hi Bonnie,

Here (http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27919&highlight=slice+paradise) is a thread in which I asked Robyn about it. I admit that I haven't tried yet - I'm just waiting for the right images to use. I hope you'll post your results if you try it!
