Luckily the judging of the Best Photoblog category of the Irish Blog Awardshas gone my way and I've made it onto the shortlist! Considering the standard of the other photoblogs in the shortlist (some of which inspired me to start this photoblog) I'm delighted to have gotten this far. This shot was created by combining two shots, a leaf and a portrait, as you can see by rolling your mouse over the original link. These were processed separately then blended together to create the final image.
