Advice and Opinions wanted!!!!

Hey there you lot,

i've been given a college project, and was wondering if you think this photo:



meets this brief:

"Subject - for assessment you are to produce a ‘photomerge’ or panoramic image.

Content - The subject matter can be anything that you wish to explore.

Cityscape / Abstract / Portraits (i think these are to give you ideas)
It can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. You don’t have to crop the images to suit a
traditional proportion; it could have a more ‘Hockney’ approach.

The minimum number
of images you need to make the finished piece is 3, there is no upper limit.

The emphasis is on stunning, unusual, dynamic, strong visual images.

The content
and creativity of this brief is assessed in addition to the technique used to perform
the merge."

I took it on thursday, it was a collection of 7 photos which i then layered ontop of each other and put a mask on each layer and painted in the other riders so they could be seen. I didn't use the "photomerge" option in photoshop so do you think i could be peinalised for doing it my own way?

Thanks in advance Ad

I'm sure it fits the brief fine. As for doing things "your own way" I think it's important that you always try to do that.

Very nice image! The only slightly distracting part for me is that the bike at the front doesn't follow the same line the other bikes appear to?
