Finished by stretching the layer in Gimp and overlaying the bigger head. Am I the only one who was annoyed at the disproportion of the head?

Same workflow as

but with different parameters. And yes, I have been a little tired of writing each step lately. Briefly, RT minimal with capture sharpening and corner boost + G'MIC custom magic.

In hindsight, I should have made it brighter. Over overcast now. If I were less lazy, I would have removed the object floating in the middle of the right edge (edit and of course I would have done something about the bright young lad).

Zoom and enjoy!

Brighter version.

I enjoy photos like this because there is so much going on. Not only is there the bright young lad that I mentioned twice but there is a person peeking behind a pillar. What’s his story? Is he a spy, stalker or enjoying a break? Wait, he is looking right at you! :joy:
