The End of An Era

My overly macho swimming buddy, Steve, has always wanted me to take a photo of him with our shy friend, Bruce. Now, I generally do not manipulate my photographs much beyond color balance and dodging and burning. Since Steve, however, has finally given up on Maui and is moving back to the mainland, I thought I would grant him his wish. So this is a composite of two photos, one with Bruce way in the back and Steve up front, and one of Bruce up close - both taken within minutes of each other. I have simply replaced the far away Bruce with the closer one. Oh, and I absolutely did not alter Bruce's eye, he really did look wild and unpredictable today.

Shhhhh! If you don't tell Steve, I won't...
