Dan Costello	The many differences in your image makes one think. Well done.
Alastair Cochrane	You have certainly created a period feel with your image in toning terms. I wonder about the difference in period between the clothes in the background and what your wife is wearing. Photographers have enough problems carrying equipment without transporting endless costume changes for their wife! Any information on how you achieved the tone colour would be appreciated.
Mark Southard	Interesting collage but I guessed that your wife was not part of the original !
Snehendu Kar	You have achieved an excellent overall "period" look ----- the light and tone balance between the cutout and your wife's image segments blend very well. The overall image is welldone and does not look like a composite. If that is the effect your wanted, you have succeeded.
Gary Davi	Every hunters lodge or fisherman’s cabin that I been in upstate New York, have a feeling of presence form visitors and residents of the past, from its heydays. This image has that potential, I cannot think of how to do it at this moment, but maybe a level of transparency to the group in the picture and possibly a little more blending of the lady in the image, I think it would make it look eerie. Good idea.
Allan Fleischer	Are you trying to give the impression that your wife is included in the in the cutout or standing apart from it? Would have been more effective if right side of wife was not cropped out.
Sukumar	It was a spoof; I wasn't going for a realistic look. I was tickled by the incongruity between her attire and those of the characters in the cut-out. Re: the tone, after desaturating, I adjusted the sliders in Color Balance, adding mostly yellow and green, until I achieved the desired look.
