Allen, nice concept. I might use the burn tool on the layer that has the sand around the perceived bottom of the wood. That would help anchor the wood and meld it into the background image. If you wanted to get real fancy, you could play around with "lighting effects" in photoshop on the wood to simulate the bright sun that is falling on the lighthouse. Great idea...

I like this a lot! That's a lovely piece of driftwood especially with the rope and chain and the view through the knot hole is great. The lighthouse looks blown to me and part of me would like to see the right edge of the wood (but I don't know what's over there).

This is very appealing, Allen ! Works graphically very well, with the insert being so colourful. Like Mark, might like to see the driftwood whole, but this is eye catching even in the thumb.

Very cool! IMO, needs a little more room on the bottom, top, and left - and the lighthouse is quite bright. Darkening it a tad might be an idea.
Great composite!
