The background of this entry is the Great Smokey Mountains, known for the 'Trail of Tears' made by the Indians who were forced to move away from the land they had known for generations. This happened when the Smokeys became a National Park. When you see the mist rising out of the Smokeys, you can almost feel the presence of the Indians yet. It's a very eerie feeling. Thanks to penywise at morguefile.com for the eagle source photos. End of the Trail is a US Govt. public domain photo at Wikipedia. Background is my own. Please notice (see SBS) that Indian source head is also the head on the Indian on the horse. (1 year and 352 days ago)

Very creative image, and a very good blend.. the only thing I can say is that having the birds near the statue, the differing resolutions are quite obvious, especially in high resolution.. but other than that it's a great idea. Good luck! Reply »
