The scrapbookers may be able to tell me how I have done. I cropped my picture. Then used the elliptical tool. Then I flood filled the outer part of the circle. Lastly, I added the Canada geese - which were further up the same lake. ( A different photo.) I am not too happy the way the far edge of the lake cuts the picture in half.  |

When I first viewed your page before reading your description I thought it was two different photos that you were trying to put together into one. The problem of course is that the edge of the lake is very clear cut and somehow or other that ellipse treatment gives the impression that the page is in two distinct halves.
I think you would have to do something to disguise or soften the parts of the edges of the lake which are outside of the ellipse so that it breaks up that line from going straight across your page if that makes sense.

I'm not a Scrapper, but I would try this:
Clone out the sharp black line.
Move the geese into the white part with the neck and head sticking out a little over the meadow.
Or:
Make the upper Picture bigger, concentrating on its middle part, so that it reaches nearly down to the geese. And probably clone out the black line anyway.
Just some thoughts.

Thank you both for your suggestions. Great idea to do some cloning. That never entered my head. If I moved the geese, Rita, then they would appear to be swimming on the water. Actually, they were laid down . . . or whatever it is geese do at rest.  Also, that part of the picture looked bare without them. If I did move them, then I would be back to a bare corner. Thanks again. I appreciate the help. |

Perhaps you could move the geese as Rita suggested and find another piece of clipart to fill that part of the picture. Some long grass or bulrushes for example.
