Looks good to me Malcolm, I would be very interested in an outline of the process, I am always keen to widen my knowledge of processing images. If I may say so, it doesn't seem to have a visible signature of any process in the image, which suggests there is something subtle going on. I mentioned the Nik filters, they can be used very subtly or in an outrageous way if that floats your boat. All depends on the image and what you are trying to achieve.

I used topaz to cut girl out of background, & a mixture of photoshop, onone, & topaz to add a look I visualize how I want finished image to look. I dont use any actions as every image will always be unique to me. The finished image was a combination of 8 different photographs. This image is with a more natural look on her face I used frequency separation to even out skin tones, and keep texture of the skin. Attachment: Steam punk kitchen.jpg (Downloaded 55 times)

Don't mind this level of manipulation as long as it is indicated

Have just looked steampunk up myself, frankly I don't do these 'punk' things myself but that's irrelevant. Very interesting, I took a look at google images and although there are many good pics among them for me none had the appearance of quality and depth that these images have. I came across this link: http://petapixel.com/2014/09/13/camerapunk-wants-help-steampunk-ify-camera-gear/ Thought the camera D3S was topical. Have discussed the first image with my son Chris(12) and he wasn't taken in, I asked him if he felt it was authentic, he said the fire didn't look right (the top part doesn't match with the lower part) and from that the whole image fell into question for him. I noticed that myself but overrode it in my mind because on the whole the composite is very convincing and it appears theatrical, so leeway is given. A slight concern for me is the lack of ash under the fire... An aside, when I was about 7 we had a very similar range in our kitchen, complete with kettle which was always on the hob, I made a pot of tea for my mother but didn't put the kettle back on the hob properly and it fell off, the boiling water badly scalded my foot, so I am very aware of kettles on open fire hobs, even in photographs!

Fire looks much better, picture should be a winner at the Camera Club? Interesting seeing how you developed the image through the stages and layers in Photoshop.

Perhaps the only other thing I might suggest is that, as the saying goes... There is no smoke without fire, usually the reverse is also true. The area behind the kettle seems to be fully saturated, no signs of heat shimmer or loss of saturation of the background behind the kettle, as there probably would be if wood was burning on the fire. Good luck with the competition!

When I did that composite of the Tornado from Great Gable I used a light de-saturation brush to create the illusion of the exhaust gasses.
