Bob,
I got the picture, and no offense was taken. I must have forgotten the ";-)"
Seriously, I think there are enough unusual situations out there for me never to feel the need to do composites. About the only ones I've done were political parodies and such, where the fakery was perfectly obvious, or at least explained with captioning. An example where I combined wire service photos of Bush and Al Gore to come up with Gosh, a new person: http://richmason.com/temp/Gosh.htm Or, the secret of Michael Jackson: http://richmason.com/fug/mj2025.jpg
You are not a fool. The picture was odd.
Cheers, Rich

Darn it man, if you read the whole post I thought I had givien the whole picture.
Maybe it was my sense of humour (what I would have done after someone suggested my previous submission was a composite). But that man looked so out of place visually I wondered if that was part of a joke - make it so obviously a fake that only a fool would swallow it :o)
OK, the fool is me. As hard as I tried I couldn't read the parts of the image as a coherent whole - as I tried to explain.
No offence was intended,.
