In my previous upload I had tested the light conditions - I used ISO 400 here - low F.stop - tripod and exposure time 0.12 seconds. I cropped 1 Santa then added a strip of white - then pasted at the left of the irginal picture. With a clonestamp set on half opacity I tried to blend the BG - why? - because I thought it would be fun to have 2 Santa's.....
The Christmas Cards have been written and sent, so now I had time to make a virtual card for you all.

You must have done the right thing on the blending Els as I sure can't see the matching. Sometimes I am sure Santa wishes he was 2 Wink. Beautiful card and once again your creativity shows. Thank you for your wishes and the same to you. wonderful.

Hello Els,
I am most impressed with the seamless pp work here. Santa really stands out in all his red cloaking. it looks like you have a very fest and well decorated tree.
Take care, Joni

Thanks Joni, Sergio, Rosa and Wanda,


In case you are wondering, in that tree are decorations that survived 10 times moving house and were acquired during 35 years of mariage. So there is no style at all, just decorations that have memories attatched to them and with the fairy lights it just looks festive and warm.
Hope you can also enjoy this time without stress and with much joy.
