Nice one Matt - K - nice processing here - I don't see the seams.

Almost believed it was one real bike!

You definitely fooled me. I spent a minute or so trying to figure out how that bike would work, then it clicked that it wasn't a real bike.

It is a real bike alright .... was lucky enough to get two shots of the same guy, and the front wheel was just about in the right position for both pics. So I cut out the right bike and shadow from the second picture, and pasted it into the first. Had to mask the spoke area and make it transparent, which took considerable time. However, it is a great way to learn about masking and such things when you are bored and you cannot go and shoot some more.
