Default Combining Three Images To Make One

The wives wanted a group shot of them with their husbands in uniform. We photographed each couple individually then combined their favorite image of themselves to make one image. The beauty of this is you only need to get two people at a time to look good, not six, you can use the absolute best lighting on each couple and lastly there is no lens distortion.

What an outstanding picture. I bet they are absolutely delighted with this finish. Excellent work. Very well done indeed.

Thanks. Since I didn't change the light direction, or the main light distance from it to the subjects, nor did I change the distance from the camera to subject and I used the exact same white balance and aperture the image looks "right." Nothing will scream combination like shadows not matching from one couple to their neighbor or differing white balance, or different lenses, etc.
