Thinking ahead - Winter/Holiday banner

[BoxerWB]

More pics folks? It's almost T-day and I don't think I'll have the holiday banner ready in time at this rate!

he can be so pathetic sometimes...

Aww! I have missed Hobo's sweet face!

OK guys, I have a tricky request now ... I need a backdrop for my image.  This would make for a very boring photo, so it may be hard to find:

A horizontal shot of snow (with texture to it - like drifts or shadows, etc) OR
A horizontal shot of floor and wall (sort of near floor level, but not quite)

I have a Xmas tree I think will work, but the background is vertical and too "busy"

Would this work?

[BoxerWB]

Unfortunately no.. too little ground in the photo. But thanks, because I forgot to mention they needed to be "ground-centric" ...that may help people figure out what they've got.

Also, it needs to be a horizontal shot in order to span the width of the banner.

What about this?  Could you crop Buddy out?

[BoxerWB]

OK, I rescind my floor/wall request - that pic was perfect!... but when I looked at it in the banner, it meant I'd have to scale everything back way too much or else the floor would look like it was made out of redwood planks!

Lisa - It's a possibility, I'd only be using a 75-pixel high sliver, so I would just take something from the section below Buddy.

Do you want a shot with out any floor showing ? I can take one with just the trim and the wall .

[BoxerWB]

No, that's ok... I'm trying to pick something with a sense of depth, and I'm still "new" at it, so finding the right thing is hard.

I actually grabbed a slice of Lisa's pic that had Buddy (cloned him out) that shows nice distance... it'll probably be for the winter banner, not the holiday one though. I'm really stumped on what to use for a holiday background, given that only a 75-pixel slice of the photo sets used. I can shrink stuff to a certain extent, but there is some quality loss with that.

If your still accepting pics...Here's a few more.

Holiday background

[BoxerWB]

ohh.. that's closer. 75 pixels shows the bottom of the hearth and bottom of tree w/skirt. If I can clone enough floor/wall to stretch the rest of the banner width, I might be able to work w/that!
