Composite

Despite your title, at first I didn't realize this was a composite photo. With composite photos you can go two ways: very subtle as this one (only the ghostly leaves glimpsed through the rim of the golden bow) or as an obvious collage. I would like to see how this would look if you had masked the rim oval so that the leaves were not visible or barely so since the oval center of the object shows only the barest hint of the ground.

I suspect that you're estimation of my pp skills may not correspond with reality, Jack. One of the techniques that's on my list is masking. But, I think I can create the effect that involves the center. Stay tuned, Jack.
