What is a Composite? A Composite image is when the photographer takes more than one image and combines them together to create their final work, or takes one image and repeats it or part of it in the final work. This to-day is normally done by the use of "Layers" or overlays I often use multiple images or manipulate my photos and in this page I have combined Clip-Art into an image some of which are previously made composites.
Below II made the heading picture several years ago and there is noway I would publish it today have a look at the two below and see if you can tell the difference.
An example of what can be found in this page is the heading photograph which has some clip-art images superimposed onto a composite image

Above a Gomes, Gremlin, Troll or what ever name you want to give the little wild haired guy. with the big smile and the fencing were the original image but for this category I added the little dragon (free from https://pixabay.com/en/dragon-fantasy-monster-3d-creature-2228454/ ) on the right. In this case I looked for something to match both the spirit of the picture and the colour

Above the original photo is the nearest thing I will ever get to photo journalism it was taken to show what the 2018 drought had done to the local golf course, fortunately the greens and fairways were able to be watered with recycled water but the rest became like something more resembling the wild west sot hence Annie Oakley on her horse. this was basically a straight image before the addition of the Clipart. ...... Location Uitenhage

Above this is a "Nature shot" where nature comes to us as we work the clipart bee and ant add a bit of humour to the image..
Above this image without the Spiderman figure appears elsewhere on the site and I explained the story behind it there a bit of additional information concerning this version is that I downloaded the Spiderman figure from http://clipart.info/ultimate-spider-man-clipart-png-2853 so thanks to them for the use of it.
Above This picture started out as an exercise in using my photo editing or painting programme to demonstrate how from mild beginnings a simple peoples car has evolved into a large fast snazzy car, then I wondered how the original peoples car would react, I think the clipart says it all .
Above a collage of landscapes enhanced by a strip of film and a bee who looks like he/she is giving a presentation .
