I lurk here a lot, usually hang out at GP but I love coming here to look at all your wonderful photos. I am not in your class of photography but I love taking pictures. These are two collages I put together from pictures I have taken of my dad.......some better than others but I work with what I have. Which do you think would be the best one to print out, frame and give as a gift to my mom and brother. Or do you think I should print both and give one to mom and one to brother?

| I think both are very nice. However, I like the second one since it has the large picture in the center, but I would make the large picture in the middle, the one close-up of his face instead of the large hands, and make the hands a smaller outside pic. That's just my opinion, though and as I said, they are both nice, and I don't think you could go wrong with either. Kt |

| #2 catches my eye. |

| I'd go with 2 too. One other thought, try some of those shots in the black and white mode or sepia mode in your photo editor. They often impart more of the person's "character" somehow. |

| Thank you all for your comments. I actually ended up doing yet another one using some old black and white photos. Thank you rcnalyor, I got the idea from you. But I am still not sure, I just want this to be something special I can give to my brother and for my mom. Since they are both in a nursing home there are not many gifts I can give them. I really would like everyone's opinion, but I do not want to impose on your forum. |

| Linda, You are not imposing, it is what this forum is for. Post all you want. I think your family will like any of the collages you make. It's a gift from the heart! Good day, Z_joe |

| Ditto on what Z_Joe said. The thought is in your idea and the photos, not so much in how they are arranged. Z_Joe, early morning bike ride? Kt |
