Six different unrelated photos merged together in Photoshop. My goal was to capture a sense of perspective, with a closeup of the acorns which are the origin of the large oak off in the distance. I used my Canon T1i for most of the shots, but since I have no macro lens for that camera, I used a Canon Powershot for the closeups of the acorns and the grass. For the background and tree shots, I took several exposures and blended them with Photomatix. They were mostly shot at ISO 100 with an aperature of 4.0.

Great idea! Strong colors too. There's something not quite right for me ... not sure if it's the wider crop or what that made me hesitate before casting my vote.
