In November Al Longo did a "windswept" Santa that I loved and I told him I was doing a copy of it as a Christmas gift for some friends. I especially like the leaning into the wind effect and intend to use that feature again on some of my own Santas.

Yup, Al -- that's what I was fiddling with when you all were here. Got him finished, then the queen bee and a couple stick angels and about 17,000 Christmas cookies. Bah humbug.
Copying Longo's work was not easy for me .... I really wanted to add my usual bells and whistles.

Nancy....You are just an amazing carver.....The contrast between the soft Dove and wavey/rough beard is just a fantastic composition, and the colors bring it all together as a different Santa, one that every collector would cherish to add to their collection.

A question though on the pic itself....How does one get three wiews to show up on one pic? i can't figure that out yet.

Coffeeman -- my photo processing (?) program is ImageFolio LE. It's old and simple so we're a good match

It has an option (under File) called Stitch that allows you to "stitch" an unlimited number of photos together in any arrangement you want. It helps if each photo is the same height as the others but that's easy enough to do ... you just 'save' each photo at a certain number of pixels tall if you plan on stitching them together.
Believe me -- if I can do it, anyone can.
If you have some you'd like stitched -- send them to me and I'll stitch 'em and send the final product back. But I'm certain your photo program, no matter what it is, has a similar option.
