I liked this image so much I posted it in my gallery, but I wanted to give a bit more information about it.

My wife and I stayed the night at the McMenamins Edgefield hotel in Troutdale, Oregon on 10/22/2017. As it happened, there was a pumpkin carving contest underway that was absolutely staggering! For this image I extracted the carver and his subject, used a couple of adjustment layers and added a couple of cat eyes. The image I used for the background is "Scratch the Surface1.jpg" (no idea where I found it).

Unless they know something I don't know, all that work will be thrown over the hog fence in a couple days.

I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.
