Top Frame - Me holding a razor against the sky (Sony a6000)
Bottom Frame - Partially harvested field (Nikon D750)
Both edited for light and White Balance, cropped straight and joined side-by-side.
Final edits in Nik Viveza and Lightroom
Have a better version with overlaps, but this challenge definition is so dodgy that it's not worth risking during the DPL. Bad form putting something like this in during the league.

I had so much fun shooting for this challenge, even with all the editing rule confusion. I am thrilled this did so well. Thank you all for the wonderful comments. This was actually my second choice for edits but I wanted to avoid any possible confusion on both the editing rules and the potential for any negative impact on voting if I used overlapping. This was my first choice of edits.
I'm thrilled to have this as my first 7.

I'm back to look again... because I totally LOVE this idea of yours... and how you achieved portraying it.
Even the TITLE is magnificent! LOL!
Congratulations again... and on a new personal Best! Yipppeee!
I'm so flattered, Lydia. The idea didn't come to me fully formed. As I looked at the example photos I couldn't conceive of how he could come up with the fully formed idea and decided that he had to start with one photo/object and then extrapolate. So, I got in my car and went for a drive looking for anything I could draw a line through and add something to the top. It's amazing how many things there are that fit this. I was actually driving down a back road to try and get a shot of some power plant cooling towers when I saw this mowed path in a field and immediately thought "Razor!!". Had I not been looking with eyes fixed on that idea I'd never have come up with this on my own.
I had a feeling this would be a winner. A very good flow to it that was very in the spirit of the challenge. Way to go using the horizon line to your advantage. Got an 8 from me.
HA! Love it. Afraid this will be hit as a composite...really really hoping that you held the razor outside against the sky and didn't just superimpose part of an image over an entire Other image as that was already stated to be not allowed as that's expert editing and outside the special flag here...
