I'm familiar with that lost art! I've never tried one. My dad was a film guy. I never could actually get it developed. Something about time and money at the same time. Makes me cringe to think about money ever being that tight. All the same, the digital age did come rescue me, somewhat. Taking photos just isn't my first thought.

So, the answer is yes to both. You did blend the images and you were there at that unique moment.

It's just not Photoshop!

One of the things that kept me from assuming Photoshop is the unique lighting on the doves. Double exposure yes. Photoshop, maybe, if the artist thought to try for that effect.

I'm assuming this is one of those days when the moon is out doing the day.

It is super impressive that the moon ended up in a near center space that was void of doves.

Congratulations on accomplishing this beautiful piece of art!
