Nice composite.

For me, I would want to move the right picture a little more to the right and get more of that sun. Also can you photoshop out the airplane stream lines going right through her face? They are a bit distracting.

And I would also processes her photo layers seperate to have a bit more contrast. To kind of follow the contrast of the BG.

Other than that, for me, this composite looks pretty good.

I like the images of the grad, but the sunset is distracting to me because the eye is drawn toward the brightest part of the picture.

I like the concept though; perhaps not as much opacity on the right image so it stands out from the background a bit more. Or bring up the opacity on the background so its not as overpowering.

You have your directions on the opacity reversed. More opacity = less transparent.

Thanks so much for the suggestions all! I'll work on it more and see about changing the opacity, etc. I appreciate your input!

I think both pictures are too much alike (impression, size). I think a little more variety might look better (maybe one face, one action or something like it).
