Trouble with George

I went out today and blipped all kinds of plants and flowers, and then had a moment of blip inspiration. I was influenced by Brainfreeze's Rodney series and decided to blip something devious. Of course, I don't have Rodney and wanted to blip something that had significance to the TMG family. I immediately thought of Curious George. He is a favorite of the little TMGs and was featured in my third blip.

In this shot, CG is in a tough situation. You can see the look of surprise and finger pointing at the boulder about to land on his head. Clearly a situation that only a monkey could experience and survive. Hmmm, I wonder if should start a series...

Disclosure: No animals, toys or people were harmed in the making of this shot.


How I did it:
Tripod mounted camera
Shot George sitting alone
Shot falling rock

Photoshop:
Combined the above two images including:
Used masks to selectively hide/show appropriate areas
2 Brightness/contrast layers, 1 for CG and one for the boulder with appropriate masks

Constructive criticism always welcome
